AGENDA
REPORT
May 17, 2022
DISCUSSION:
The City of Richmond is required to complete an actuarial valuation report on a biennial basis for the Police and Firemen's Pension Plan, the General Pension Plan, the Garfield Pension Plan, and the two OPEB Plans (City and RPOA).
In the summer of 2020, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit actuarial firms that best served the public sector pension clients in the State of California.
Proposals were received from Van Iwaarden Associates, Lauterbach & Amen, LLP, Jefferson Solutions, Inc., and Nyhart. These responses were reviewed by a panel made up of City staff from the Finance Department. After reviewing the four responses and comparing them to the requirements identified in the RFP, the panel selected Nyhart and Van Iwaarden Associates as the most responsive. These firms were then invited to participate in the interview process. The same review panel interviewed representatives from the two firms, with questions focusing on the proposed budget, experience working with governmental agencies, and overall history of the firms.
Van Iwaarden Associates was selected based on their overall experience, as well as their specific experience regarding the City’s specific needs.
Upon considering all aspects of the criteria mentioned above, a contract with Van Iwaarden Associates in the amount of $26,000, for the period from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022, with two (2) one-year extensions was approved June 15, 2021. The First contract amendment was subsequently made to increase the contract payment limit amount by $8,000.
City staff would like to exercise the option to extend the contract term by one year with Van Iwaarden Associates based on satisfactory performance. The contract term will be extended to June 30, 2023. Van Iwaarden Associates will be providing the City with the required valuation reports for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, that comply with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) No. 68 and No. 75. Also, Van Iwaarden Associates will be providing the City with supplemental analysis and funding reports related to Pensions and Other Post-Employment Benefits.

In all instances where CONTRACTOR or its representatives will provide professional services (architects, engineers, construction management, counselors, medical professionals, hospitals, clinics, attorneys, consultants, accountants, etc.) to the City of Richmond (City), the City requires the following MINIMUM insurance requirements and limits.
CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, agreement, or other order for work, services or supplies, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract. Failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract.
CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery.
CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.
Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability coverage, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.
City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.
Minimum coverage is detailed below. The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated herein shall not serve to reduce the policy limits of coverage of CONTRACTOR.
Minimum Scope of Insurance – the following forms shall be provided and coverage shall be at least as broad as the following:
1. Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability coverage (ISO Occurrence Form CG 0001), and including coverage for bodily and personal injury, property damage, and products and completed operations (if applicable).
2. Insurance Services Office Automobile Liability coverage (ISO Form CA 0001, Code 1, Any Auto).
3. Original and Separate Additional Insured Endorsement for General Liability (ISO Form CG 20 10 11/85 or its equivalent) with primary and non-contributory language.

General Liability
(primary and excess limits
combined)

DocuSign Envelope ID: 52AD79B2-6DD6-41B9-8C48-EC267FD7636F
___ Exhibit F
___ Section 8
City of Richmond - Insurance Requirements - Type 2:
Professional Services
Type 2 – Page 3 of 3
Revised: June 2011
If any insurance policy is written on a claims-made form: 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, the Contractor must purchase an extended period coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of contract work.
Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.
Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin.
The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.
Original insurance certificates and required policy endorsements shall be mailed or delivered to the Designated Project Manager for the City of Richmond.
Insurance certificates and endorsements may be faxed to the Designated Project Manger. However, CONTRACTOR must mail the original certificates and endorsements to Designated Project Manager once faxed.
Continuous Coverage
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.
If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.
Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.
Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.
Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

Revised: June 2011
In all instances where CONTRACTOR or its representatives will provide professional services (architects, engineers, construction management, counselors, medical professionals, hospitals, clinics, attorneys, consultants, accountants, etc.) to the City of Richmond (City), the City requires the following MINIMUM insurance requirements and limits.
CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, agreement, or other order for work, services or supplies, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract. Failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract.
CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery.
CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.
Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability coverage, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.
City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.
Minimum coverage is detailed below. The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated herein shall not serve to reduce the policy limits of coverage of CONTRACTOR.
Minimum Scope of Insurance – the following forms shall be provided and coverage shall be at least as broad as the following:
1. Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability coverage (ISO Occurrence Form CG 0001), and including coverage for bodily and personal injury, property damage, and products and completed operations (if applicable).
2. Insurance Services Office Automobile Liability coverage (ISO Form CA 0001, Code 1, Any Auto).
3. Original and Separate Additional Insured Endorsement for General Liability (ISO Form CG 20 10 11/85 or its equivalent) with primary and non-contributory language.

http://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/index.aspx?nid=61.
General Liability
(primary and excess limits
combined)
$2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If the policy includes a general aggregate, either the general aggregate shall apply separately to this project, service or location or the minimum required aggregate limit shall be twice the per occurrence limit.

Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.

In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.
If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.
Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.
Reporting Requirements

Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

FROM: Anil Comelo, Interim Deputy City Manager

Subject: Sole Source Contract with Bartel Associates, LLC to Prepare an Actuarial Report Necessary to Refinance the
2005 Series B Pension Obligation Bonds ("2005 POBs")
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed $30,000 cost will be budgeted accordingly for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 and will be reimbursed from
the refinance of the Pension Obligations Bonds.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
April 26, 2022 – City Council directed City staff to
refinance the 2005 POBs.
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
An actuarial analysis regarding the City's pension tax
override is necessary for making disclosures to potential bond investors.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE a Sole Source contract with Bartel Associates, LLC., in a not to exceed amount of $30,000, to prepare specialized actuarial analysis necessary to
issue bonds and refinance the 2005 Pension Obligation
Bonds, for a one-year term through May 16, 2023 –
Finance Department (Anil Comelo/Delmy Cuellar 510-
620-6790).
AGENDA
REPORT
May 17, 2022
DISCUSSION:
At the direction of City Council, City staff is proceeding with the exploration of various options including the refinancing of the Pension Obligation Bonds (“2005 POBs”). The 2005 POBs are secured by a combination of the City's pension tax override and General Fund revenues. The actuarial analysis is needed to maximize the amount of pension tax override revenues that can be used to pay debt service on the proposed refinancing.
In 2003, a State appellate court ruled that the City of Huntington Beach could only use its own pension tax override revenues to pay for CalPERS costs related to employee benefits in place prior to July 1, 1978, the date that Proposition 13 went into effect.
Consequently, the annual costs of new employee benefits added after July 1, 1978, cannot be paid for using pension tax override revenues. The City of Huntington Beach chose not to appeal that decision to the State Supreme Court, and the decision has been precedential since then.
In 2005, the City of Richmond retained Bartel Associates, LLC to calculate what percentage of its annual CalPERS costs for the unfunded actuarial liability were for employee benefits in place on or before July 1, 1978. This analysis was necessary so that potential investors in the 2005 POBs would know the maximum share of debt service on those bonds that could be paid from the pension tax override revenues.
Bartel Associates calculated at that time that the percentage of debt service that could come from the pension tax override revenues was approximately 86 percent.
The 2005 study needs to be updated in order to provide the same level of information regarding the proposed refinancing of the 2005 POBs to potential bond investors.
The Bartel Associates scope of services (Attachment I) includes the option for a 10-year projection of the percentage of annual CalPERS costs that can be funded from the City's pension tax override. This is important because if the City's total eligible CalPERS costs drop below the "Huntington Beach percentage", the City would likely need to lower the actual tax levy, reducing overall City revenues. This projection will better enable the City's finance team to structure the proposed 2005 POB refinancing in a way that optimizes availability of future pension tax override revenues.
While there are other actuarial firms experienced in CalPERS matters, Bartel Associates, LLC remains the only firm with direct experience in calculating the percentage of debt service for a pension obligation bond that can be paid from pension tax override revenues under the 2003 Huntington Beach decision. They have done the same analysis for 14 other CalPERS members with pension tax overrides since 2018.
Equally important, bond investors trust the Bartel Associates analysis. Therefore, City staff is recommending City Council approval of the one-year sole source contract with Bartel Associates, LLC.

15. Indemnification.
(a) If this Contract is a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) and Contractor is a design professional, as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify the City, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses including attorneys’ fees arising out of, or pertaining to, or relating to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, except where caused by the active negligence, sole negligence, or willful misconduct of the City. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall immediately defend and indemnify the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all liabilities, regardless of nature or type, that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors.
Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. Contractor’s obligation to
General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 7 of 13
indemnify applies unless it is finally adjudicated that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party.
(b) If this Contract is not a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) or Contractor is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers from any and all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by Contractor or any person directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as, the agent for Contractor in the performance of this Contract, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the City, its officers, agents, employees or volunteers.
(c) It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.

An allegation or determination that persons other than Contractor are responsible for the claim does not relieve Contractor from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this Section 15. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent counsel if Contractor asserts that liability is caused in whole, or in part, by the negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party. (d) The review, acceptance or approval of the Contractor’s work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the Contractor’s indemnification or defense obligations. This Section 15 survives completion of the services or the termination of this Contract.
The provisions of this Section 15 are not limited by, and do not affect, the provisions of this Contract relating to insurance.

Contractor acknowledges that the services which Contractor shall provide under this Contract are unique, personal services which, except as otherwise provided herein, Contractor shall not assign or sublet to any other party without the prior written approval of City, which approval may be withheld in City's sole and absolute discretion. In the event that City, in writing, approves any assignment or subletting of this Contract or the retention of subcontractors by Contractor, Contractor shall provide to City upon request copies of each and every subcontract contract prior to the execution thereof by Contractor and subcontractor. Any assignment by Contractor of any or all of its rights under this Contract without first obtaining City's prior written consent shall be a default under this Contract.
The sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Contractor (if applicable), or of the interest of any general partner or joint venturer or syndicate member if Contractor is a partnership or joint-venture or syndicate, which shall result in a change of control of Contractor, shall be deemed an assignment.

26. Force Majeure. Neither party hereto shall be considered in default in the performance of its obligations hereunder to the extent that the performance of such an obligation is prevented or delayed by reason of acts of God, strikes, boycotts, lock-outs, inability to procure materials not related to the price thereof, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws and regulations enacted after the date of this Contract, riots, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, insurrection, war, declaration of a state or national emergency or other reasons of a like nature not within the reasonable control of such party.

Anil Comelo
Interim Deputy City Manager
City of Richmond
450 Civic Center Plaza, Suite 300
Richmond, CA 94804
Dear Mr. Comelo:
Bartel Associates would be happy to provide actuarial consulting services regarding the City of Richmond. The City participates in CalPERS, providing
Miscellaneous employees hired before January 1, 2013 and classic employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 the 2.7%@55 benefit formula, with the PEPRA 2.0%@62 formula for PEPRA members.
Police Safety employees hired before January 1, 2013 and classic employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 the 3%@50 benefit formula, with the PEPRA 2.7%@57 benefit for PEPRA members. Fire Safety employees hired before January 1, 2013 and classic employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 the 3%@55 benefit formula, with the PEPRA 2.7%@57 benefit formula for PEPRA members.
We understand the City established a Pension Override Tax (POT) before Proposition 13 which, effective July 1, 1978, limits the benefit level that can be paid from the POT.
Bartel Associates provided the POT calculations for the 2005 Pension Obligation Bond. We believe the POT percentage will be unchanged for the current refinancing of that bond. However, events since that time will have changed the POT percentage for current CalPERS payments and so a new evaluation is needed. The POT can be expected to change every year in the future. In addition, CalPERS or legislative changes could potentially have a significant impact on the POT percentage.
Bartel Associates
Bartel Associates is an actuarial consulting firm based in San Mateo, California. Since 2003, our firm has served California public agencies, assisting with pension, CalPERS, and retiree healthcare benefits. We have performed Pension Override Tax calculations for 14 municipalities since 2018.
Cost Analysis for CalPERS Pension Benefit Improvements Before and After July 1, 1978 The City is interested in quantifying how much of the City’s current CalPERS contribution rates are due to the benefits in effect before and after July 1, 1978. It is important to understand no single method accomplishes this and there’s no single answer. We will use a method that is generally acceptable. Bartel Associates will review CalPERS actuarial information, then clearly explain the methodology in a report.
We will estimate the June 30, 2020 Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL), plus the FY2021/22 and 2022/23 employer Normal Cost (NC) and total projected contribution for Miscellaneous and Safety plans and allocate them between benefit levels effective before and after July 1, 1978.
Contribution Rate Projection (Optional)
You may be aware of the many CalPERS changes over recent years which are being phased in to the required contribution rates. For the City of Richmond, the effect of these changes could be a pension cost increase in excess of amounts available from the POT. To help the City budget for these costs, we could project CalPERS contribution rates for the next 10 years in detail, and also for the next 30 years. Doing this work in conjunction with the project above would provide information we believe is useful for the City.

City’s Closed Pension Plans
The City also has the following 3 closed pension plans:
City of Richmond General Pension Fund: A defined benefit pension plan that covers former City employees not covered by CalPERS; all of them have since retired. We understand the current costof-living provisions and $500 per month minimum benefit were amended after July 1, 1978 and, thus, may not be paid from the POT. We further understand there were 19 participants receiving benefits as of the July 1, 2013 valuation and the average age then was 89. Because the small numbers and advanced age of these participants, we believe the cost of the POT evaluation for this plan likely outweighs its benefit. Therefore, we do not recommend including this plan in the study. City of Richmond Police and Firemen’s Pension Plan: A defined benefit pension plan that covers Police and Fire personnel employed prior to October 1964. We understand the Plan’s provisions were included in the City Charter prior to July 1, 1978 and have not since been changed. Therefore we believe the POT can be used to pay the total cost for this plan. Garfield Pension Plan: a defined benefit pension plan that was set up for a retired police chief, whose life expectancy in 2013 was 7 years. We understand the City has not used the POT to pay for this plan. We believe no evaluation is needed.

CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, agreement, or other order for work, services or supplies, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract. Failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract.
CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery.
CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.
Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability coverage, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.
City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.
Minimum coverage is detailed below. The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated herein shall not serve to reduce the policy limits of coverage of CONTRACTOR.

General Liability
(primary and excess limits
combined)
$2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage.

Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.

In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.
If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.
Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.
Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.
Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
January 11, 2022 – First Amendment to Ellis
Investigations, L.C. legal services agreement
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
The Human Resources Department is requesting City
Council approval to amend the term and payment limit of the legal services agreement with Kramer Workplace
Investigations and Ellis Investigations, and to approve a legal services agreement with Boucher Labor and
Employment Law for employment attorneys to conduct
confidential personnel investigations on an as needed
basis for an amount not to exceed of $50,000 per
agreement, over a three-year term.
AGENDA
REPORT
May 17, 2022
RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE a first amendment to the legal services agreement with Kramer Workplace Investigations and a
second amendment to the legal services agreement with
Ellis Investigations and an initial legal services
agreement with Boucher Labor and Employment Law.
Terms of these agreements are until June 30, 2024, for
an amount not to exceed $50,000 per agreement, to
conduct confidential personnel investigations for the
Human Resources Department – Human Resources
Department (Anil Comelo/Sharrone Taylor 510-620-
6600). This item was continued from the May 3,
2022, meeting.
DISCUSSION:
The City must address complaints of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation by conducting an immediate, thorough, and objective personnel investigation. The City also investigates other workplace issues when appropriate. Investigations can be conducted internally or externally depending on the circumstances and the alleged parties.
When an external personnel investigation is needed, the City engages a firm to conduct such an investigation. Kramer Workplace Investigations, Boucher Labor and Employment Law, and Ellis Investigations all have highly skilled employment law attorneys who conduct personnel investigations. These firms specialize in workplace investigations involving allegations of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, as well as misconduct and disciplinary matters. They have previously conducted investigatory services for the City and performed in a satisfactory manner. Further, continuing the working relationship with Kramer Workplace Investigations, Boucher Labor and Employment Law, and Ellis Investigations will ensure current, critical investigations will continue and provide stability and uniformity in the investigations process.
Kramer Workplace Investigations was engaged to conduct a critical investigation, and therefore a $10,000 legal service agreement was executed on March 3, 2022. In addition, the City entered into an initial legal services agreement with Ellis Investigations on October 22, 2021, for $10,000 and an amendment on January 22, 2022, to amend the payment limit by $90,0000, for a total contract limit of $100,000, to enable the firm to continue providing investigatory services for the City.
The Human Resources Department is now requesting approval to amend Kramer Workplace Investigations legal services agreement to extend the term to June 30, 2025, and increase the contract by $40,000 for a not-to-exceed limit of $50,000, amend Ellis Investigations legal services agreement for a second amendment to extend the term to June 30, 2025, and increase the contract by $50,000, for a not-to-exceed limit of $150,000, and execute a new legal services agreement with Boucher Labor and

Exhibit B
9 BILLING PROTOCOLS/GUIDELINES
The City of Richmond (“City”) has adopted the following protocols for billing, budgeting, and planning for projects involving outside counsel. Special Counsel will be required to comply with this protocol. If you have questions concerning it, please contact the City Attorney for clarification. In the event you wish to negotiate changes due to the internal operation of your firm, please raise them in writing as soon as possible. Any changes to this protocol will need prior, written approval from the City Attorney. In the interest of fairness, all Special Counsel is required to comply with this protocol. This protocol is also to be used in conjunction with any new proposal for services.
These protocols and guidelines are instituted to ensure that Special Counsel conveys the information necessary for the City Attorney to manage outside projects and litigation. Also, because these guidelines are set out in advance, they are designed to minimize any confusion or misunderstanding. Compliance with these guidelines should enhance the attorney-client relationship. If you have any comments or suggestions that could improve this system, please feel free to contact the City Attorney.
I. BILLING FORMAT
Unless otherwise agreed, the following information must be provided in monthly bills:
a. A detailed description of work, in time increments of .1 hour (one tenth of an hour) for and by each and every individual billing services. b. Identification of the lawyer who is in charge of the matter. c. Reasonably detailed disbursement breakdowns with backup documentation of any individual charge exceeding $100.00.
d. Each billing item must be separately stated on a separate line identifying the individual performing the services, the time spent and the exact nature of the service rendered.
e. When charges are made for research time, the specific issue being researched and the need for the research should be identified.
f. Each item billed should be coded to a specific litigation budget line item, if applicable.

Exhibit B
10 II. BILLING GUIDELINES
a. All tasks set forth in Special Counsel’s billing documentation shall be specific and detailed. Overly generalized listings of task descriptions such as “review contract” or “prepare for negotiations” are not acceptable. b. Billings under this Agreement shall not be provided in more than six (6) minute increments and shall represent the devotion of a full six minutes before an increment is billed. Under no circumstances shall Special Counsel use “block billing” procedures, wherein a list or series of activities is done each day with only an aggregate amount of time specified.
c. Special Counsel shall keep the City advised of the identity and billing rates of those people working on the project account.
d. All time shall be billed within 30 days of the end of the month in which services were performed.
e. Counsel shall advise City whenever it anticipates the amount of services necessary to properly execute the task will exceed the amount of the contract.
When accrued billings are equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Payment Limit, written notice shall be given to the City as soon as possible, via e-mail, to the City Attorney’s Office, of this fact. In order to satisfy this notification requirement, Counsel shall monitor its accrued billings on a weekly basis and immediately notify the City Attorney if the eighty percent (80%) threshold is met. Special Counsel acknowledges the fiscal constraints on City funding and therefore Special Counsel assumes risk of non-payment for services rendered in the event the amount of services rendered exceeds the amount of the contract unless prior written authorization is received. Authorization to exceed the amount set forth in Exhibit A may be given only by City Attorney in writing. f. Only those attorneys approved by the City may bill on the case. g. Special Counsel shall not charge for more than one attorney at any hearing, deposition, or meeting of any kind without advance approval of the City Attorney.
h. No more than two paraprofessionals may bill on a particular case without the prior approval of the City.
i. The City has retained Special Counsel for its expertise, and therefore expects not to be billed for introductory or background research. City appreciates when Special Counsel has researched an issue previously and uses that research on present cases or projects. Do not charge the City for work Special Counsel has done and billed another client for in the past.

Exhibit D
16 City of Richmond - Insurance Requirements - Type 2:
Professional Services
Claims-Made Policies
If any insurance policy is written on a claims-made form: 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 claimsmade policy form with a retroactive date prior to the contract effective date, the Contractor must purchase an extended period coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of contract work.
Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.
Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin. The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.
Original insurance certificates and required policy endorsements shall be mailed or delivered to the Designated Project Manager for the City of Richmond.
Insurance certificates and endorsements may be faxed to the Designated Project Manager. However, CONTRACTOR must mail the original certificates and endorsements to Designated Project Manager once faxed.
Continuous Coverage
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.
If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place.
Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.
Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.
Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.
Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable DocuSign Envelope ID: 0085BD89-A611-4647-8908-569D7C081FAC DocuSign Envelope ID: 02409A85-C3B0-48EC-8B42-99E164FBCD70
