May 7, 2024
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

APPROVE a one-year sole-source contract with
Superion, LLC for the continued licensed use of the
TRAKiT permitting, business licensing, code
enforcement, and Citizen Response Management
(CRM), for the term from April 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025, for the contract payment limit of $56,609.22 –
Information Technology Department (Sue Hartman 510-
620-6874).

DISCUSSION:

The City of Richmond is in the initial phase of implementing the new software system iMS to replace the legacy Superion, LLC, TRAKiT system. This replacement is anticipated to take twelve months with a go-live date of February 28, 2025. It is essential for Superion, LLC, TRAKiT to be operational until iMS is live.

The second contract amendment for the TRAKiT permitting, business licensing, code enforcement, and Citizen Response Management (CRM) system expired March 31, 2024, and a new sole-source contract is essential for the continued use, and technical support, for the existing components of TRAKiT.

The proposed new contract with Superion, LLC is for the continued licensed use of the TRAKiT permitting, business licensing, code enforcement, and Citizen Response Management (CRM), for the term from April 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025. The new contract includes the subscription for an interactive voice response module (IVR) for contractors and property owners to be able to schedule building inspections by phone.

Continuing this capability is more convenient for customers and saves staff time. The new contract also includes the licensing and maintenance of five additional user licenses for the Rent Control department to use the TRAKiT system for the administration and reporting required by the Just Cause and Rent Stabilization ordinance.

NEXT STEPS:

Staff recommends approval of the proposed new contract for the term of twelve months.

It is essential that the City continues to utilize Superion LLC, TRAKiT, while the City implements the replacement software system. Total funding for one additional year in the amount of $56,609.22 is included in the approved fiscal year 2023-2024 budget.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

APPROVE a contract with Farber Specialty Vehicles in
the amount of $609,418 for construction and delivery of a new all-electric Bookmobile for Richmond Public Library, with a term beginning May 8, 2024, and ending May 8,
2027; and AUTHORIZE the Deputy City Manager of
Community Services - Library to approve contingencies
not to exceed five percent of the total contract –
Community Services Department (LaShonda White 510-
620-6828/Kate Eppler 510-620-5452/Christopher Larsen
510-620-5524).

DISCUSSION:

On June 7, 2022, the City Council approved a resolution to accept and appropriate a $250,000 grant from the California State Library for purchase of a new bookmobile for Richmond Public Library (Resolution 74-22). The Library’s existing bookmobile, which has been in service since 1993, no longer meets state emissions standards and is inoperable. The project is additionally funded by $70,000 in grant matching funds from Library impact fees.

The City of Richmond, through its Climate Action Plan and various City Council actions, has indicated its support for lowering greenhouse gas emissions and green innovation.

An all-electric bookmobile supports these goals by enabling mobile library services with zero tailpipe emissions and providing a model for the various uses of electric vehicles.

On February 6, 2024, City Council approved the appropriation of up to $400,000 in Environmental and Community Investment Act transportation funding to support the purchase of an all-electric bookmobile (Resolution 7-24).

Working with a consultant from Specialty Vehicle Services, the Library developed a set of desired vehicle specifications and issued a Request for Proposals. Five vendors responded and their proposals were evaluated on previous library experience, adherence to the desired vehicle specifications, price, and delivery date. A review panel determined the proposal from Farber Specialty Vehicles, a well-known manufacturer of library outreach vehicles, met most of the library’s needs while also providing timely delivery of the new bookmobile. The new bookmobile will have a range of 150 miles on a full charge, two doors for patron access, and flexible modular shelving. We anticipate delivery on or before March 31, 2026.

This provision shall survive the termination of this Contract for one (1) year.

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 434
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. Contractor shall be obligated to defend, in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel approved by the City, the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers, immediately upon tender to Contractor of the claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. 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.

DISCUSSION:

Beginning Monday, June 10, 2024, until Friday, August 9, 2024, the City of Richmond Community Services-Recreation will provide Elevate Summer Camps at the May Valley Community Center and the Richmond Recreation Complex; and Achieve Summer Camps at the Booker T. Anderson, Nevin, Shields Reid, and Parchester Community Centers.

The Elevate Summer Camp is an at-cost summer camp opportunity where participants enjoy activities, games, sports, and special events. The Achieve Summer Camp is a no-cost summer camp provided in collaboration with the West Contra Costa Unified School District and the West Contra Costa Public Education Fund (Ed Fund). The camps include an educational component to help prevent summer learning loss while in a fun and interactive environment.

Both camps are designed to enrich the lives of youth ages 6 through 14. Each summer, to augment the camp curriculum, excursions are offered as a supplement to daily activities. These excursions are a traditional and integral part of each participant’s experience. Due to the large number of participants, bus transportation services are needed to manage the excursions effectively.

Therefore, staff solicited proposals via a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) through Bids Online from numerous transportation providers to provide the transportation needed for the 2024 summer excursions. The RFQ included the following information on the selection process and the criteria for rating the bids.

General

The City’s overall objective is the selection of a highly qualified transportation company to provide bus trips at a reasonable cost. Within its overall objective, it is also the City’s intent that:

 The selection process be fair and open.
 The selection of the transportation company be based on clearly stated objective criteria.
 Proposals be evaluated by a qualified evaluation committee.

Selection Process and Evaluation Criteria

 The selection process started with the receipt of proposals from interested firms.  The proposals were reviewed by an evaluation committee using the “Proposal Rating Matrix” to determine the most responsible bidders and to make a recommendation regarding the award of a contract.
 Staff had the discretion not to recommend a firm if the Staff Review Committee determined if the proposals received did not adequately meet the criteria set forth in the RFQ.

Rating Criteria

The following questions were used by the evaluation committee to rate the proposals:
 Experience demonstrated in providing transportation services, i.e., references.  Experience demonstrated in managing the company, i.e., internal controls, management personnel, etc.
 Background and skills demonstrated in understanding of the requirements of State Laws
 Proposed price
 Flexibility and Reliability

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 514
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.

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.

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.

Subject:

Standard Contract with NOMAD Transit to Expand City-
wide Shuttle Service
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The grant funds awarded from the California State Transportation Agency in the amount of $3,117,500, in
combination with the City’s match of $3,117,500 from the Environmental and Community Investment Agreement
(ECIA) Transportation Fund (Fund 1017), will cover the
cost of the amended Contract to expand shuttle service
to additional areas of Richmond.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

October 17, 2023

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

On October 17, 2023, City Council accepted and
appropriated grant funds and a grant match totaling
$6,235,000 and approved a sole-source fourth contract
amendment with Nomad Transit, LLC (Via) to expand the
Richmond Moves shuttle service city-wide. Subsequently, City staff was notified by the grantor that a contract
amendment would not be accepted and instead a new
contract was required.

AGENDA
REPORT
655

Page 2 of 4 ends

May 7, 2024
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

APPROVE a sole-source contract with Nomad Transit,
LLC (Via) for expanded city-wide shuttle service through Richmond MOVES, for a not-to-exceed contract limit of
$6,235,000, and a term from March 1, 2024, through July 7, 2027 – Community Services Department (LaShonda
White 510-620-6828/Lori Reese 510-620-6869).

DISCUSSION:

City staff is requesting approval to change the amended contract approved by City Council on October 17, 2023, to a standard contract to meet the grantor’s request (Attachment 1). The scope of work and ending term of the contract will remain the same.

On October 17, 2023, City Council approved the following action to expand transit routes for an existing citywide shuttle service through Richmond MOVES (Attachment 2).
 ADOPT a resolution authorizing the city manager or their designee to enter a master funding agreement with the California State Transportation Agency and fulfill all related grant requirements;
 ACCEPT and APPROPRIATE $3,117,500 in grant funds awarded by the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program;
 AUTHORIZE and APPROPRIATE a grant match in the amount of $3,117,500 from the Environmental and Community Investment Agreement (ECIA) transportation budget; and
 APPROVE a sole-source fourth contract amendment with Nomad Transit, LLC (Via) to increase the contract limit by $6,235,000, for a new total contract limit not to exceed $8,335,731 and extend the term through July 7, 2027.

The Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) was created by Senate Bill (SB) 862 (Chapter 36, Statutes of 2014) and modified by Senate Bill 9 (Chapter 710, Statutes of 2015), to provide grants from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) to fund transformative capital improvements that will modernize California’s intercity, commuter, and urban rail systems, and bus and ferry transit systems, to significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, vehicle miles traveled, and congestion. Through the six cycles of TIRCP funding, the California State Transportation Agency (CALSTA) has awarded more than $10 billion in funding to 132 projects throughout the state.

Richmond MOVES
The City of Richmond is expanding the Richmond MOVES program through funding from the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP), along with a 50 percent match from Richmond’s Environmental and Community Investment Agreement (ECIA) Grant Program. This will amount to an additional $6,235,000 in funding for three years of service (50 percent from TIRCP and 50 percent from ECIA).

656

Page 3 of 4 ends

May 7, 2024
Funding will enable Richmond MOVES to expand from what is currently a six square mile zone to a zone that will cover the entire City (see below for the updated service map). Blue indicates the current service zone, green is the Clean Mobility Voucher plus up funded expansion zone, and red is the new TIRCP expansion zone.

The service will still operate Monday-Friday from 7:00am to 7:00pm. In order to provide sufficient coverage for all residents living within the City, funding will be mainly allocated toward increasing the number of vehicle hours and the number of vehicles actively on the road. Vehicles will also be fully electrified and charging infrastructure will be installed to support the service.

The expanded service will offer additional vans to meet the growing ridership demand.

Richmond MOVES functions like a shared taxi, where on-demand, convenient and affordable rides are available to Richmond residents. With Richmond experiencing an increasing interest in carpooling and ridesharing, the “Richmond Moves” technology makes it easier to connect and manage people who want to use the service. Utilizing a cloud-based management software gives commuters the tools to carpool with coworkers and neighbors who want to save money and reduce congestion.

Other objectives the service meets:

 The service reduces pollution in Richmond caused by greenhouse gas emissions. 657

Page 4 of 4 ends

May 7, 2024
 Commuters who share rides can save big on their monthly transportation costs.  The service helps participants forge and develop new personal and professional connections.
 People who use the service report lower levels of commute-related stress than solo drivers.
 The service helps reduce commute times by giving access to specialized infrastructure.

The project supports residents in reaching major employer and educational destinations and provides a critical first-mile last-mile connection to regional transit hubs, including BART, Amtrak, and the Richmond Ferry Terminal. The City of Richmond has and will continue to work with community organizations, such as Friends of Richmond, Commission on Aging, Strategic Growth Council, and Richmond Community Foundation to deeply engage low-income and disadvantaged residents.

The delay in bringing this item for City Council approval is due to staffing constraints and staff ensuring that contract language met grantor’s requirements. Approval of this contract will allow the continued expansion of the Richmond MOVES program.

(“Via”), and City of Richmond (“Customer”) agree to collaborate towards the initiation of Customer’s demand response transit service in Richmond, California, for 36 months, subject to extension by mutual agreement of the parties.

In accordance with the Agreement, Nomad will provide Customer with technology and technology-enabled integration services (the “Services”), acting as a broker coordinating the services of third-party service providers to effectuate the on-demand transit service (the “Deployment”). Nomad will contract with third party service providers to effectuate such integration, including with fleet managers, vehicle suppliers, driver partners, background check providers, customer service support agencies, a payment processor and insurance brokers and underwriters. Nomad’s Services will include:

● Localization of a proprietary cloud-based dynamic vehicle routing and real-time passenger aggregation system;
● Access to the Via mobile rider application (iOS and Android) for individuals using the Customer’s service (“Riders”) to book and pay for rides through a smartphone; ● Access to telephonic bookings for Riders who do not have access to a smartphone; ● Access to the Via mobile driver application for drivers to route and service rides through a smartphone or tablet;
● Establish relationship with vehicle rental company (“Vehicle Partner”) to provide access to vehicles on a rental basis to independent contractor driver partners (“Driver Partners”) who shall provide transportation services;
● Accompanying technical and operational support service; ● Marketing and outreach initiatives as described herein. ● Data sharing and reporting as described herein.

Conflicts between this Service Order and any other terms and conditions or written agreements between the parties shall be resolved in favor of this Service Order.

2. Duration & Launch Date

The duration of the Deployment shall last for a period of 36 months following the date of this Service Order (the “Initial Term”), subject to extension by mutual agreement of the parties on terms to be agreed (including any increase in monthly fees for additional months).

3. Fees

The Fees for the service described in this Order are:

1 All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Master Terms and Conditions for Via Transit as a Service signed by NoMad and Customer (the “Terms”). 662

The table below outlines the payment structure, in which Customer would be charged an upfront fee, a price per driver hour, and a price per ride. All regulatory fees related to the service will be charged as a pass through cost. The Deployment shall include a fleet of vehicles as described in Section 4, Service Parameters, subject to extension by mutual agreement of the parties on terms to be agreed (including any change in fees). The total contract value shall not exceed $6,235,000 for the Initial Term.

Customer will be billed for the above fees as described below. Driver hours and rides will be billed as incurred at the end of each month. Customer shall pay the following fees to Nomad:

Fixed (Upfront) Costs
Customer shall pay to Nomad a non -refundable installation fee of $ 325,000, $125,000 of which will be payable upon signing of this Order. The remaining $200,000 is intended to cover a Clipper Card Integration and will be invoiced upon the commencement of the integration.

Ongoing Invoice Fees
Customer shall pay the following fees to be invoiced monthly by Nomad, starting upon launch of the Deployment:
● Months 1-12: $88.27 per driver hour
● Months 13-24: $90.92 per driver hour
● Months 25-36: $93.65 per driver hour

Minimum fees: Notwithstanding the foregoing, the monthly ongoing invoice fees payable by Customer shall not be less than $45,000 per month for the duration of the Deployment.

Nomad will invoice Customer on or around the 15th of each month for driver hours and rides incurred in the prior month.

Fare Revenue
Customer shall set up a partner account with Braintree and collect and own all revenue from service fares, net of service fees, starting upon launch of the Deployment. Customer may choose to designate any amount of revenue from service fares, net of service fees, for the purchase of additional driver hours.

4. Service Parameters

Nomad will provide access to a platform service (the “ Platform”) through which Riders will be able to book and pay for rides on a shared and on-demand basis; and dedicated vehicles will be offered by the Vehicle Provider to Driver Partners on a rental basis.

● Geographic Coverage Zone: Approximately 19.4 square miles coverage zone in Richmond, California.
663
● Service Days/Hours: Monday through Friday, 7am to 7pm ● Rider Fare: The rider fare will be $2, however rider fares will be free for designated groups, to be mutually determined by Customer and Nomad in writing During the duration of the Deployment, rider fare may be amended by mutual agreement between Customer and Nomad. Nomad will ensure acceptance of Rider payment through the app via credit cards and pre-paid debit cards.
● Vehicle Fleet: The Vehicle Provider will offer a fleet of up to 8 branded, licensed and insured vehicles, to be made available to independent contractor Driver Partners, who will be able to gain access to these vehicles after being registered onto the Platform. Vehicles will have bike racks for Riders who have specified such requirements. Two vehicles will be wheelchair accessible vehicles. The operation hours will be Monday through Friday from 7 am to 7 pm.

Nomad will ensure the execution of the necessary registrations and licensing to perform the Services, with the cooperation and assistance of the Customer.

Parking: Customer shall identify and make available a depot or parking lot with ample overnight parking for the dedicated fleet.

5. Project Team & Governance

Nomad will be responsible for the integration of all relevant elements of the Deployment on a continuous basis during the course of the Deployment and will designate a project manager for this purpose (the “ Nomad Project Manager”) who will lead Nomad’s Project Team. Customer will designate a project manager to be the primary point of contact with Nomad throughout the duration of the Deployment (the “Customer Project Manager”). The Nomad Project Manager will be in regular contact with the Customer Project Manager through informal and scheduled project meetings.

The Nomad Project Manager will be empowered to enact day -to-day decisions related to the Services and will serve as the primary point of contact with the Customer Project Manager on an ongoing basis. The Nomad Project Manager will appoint members to the Project Team to assist in the integration of the various elements of the Deployment, to include personnel with expertise in service scoping, independent contractor driver outreach and registration to the Platform, fleet maintenance procurement, marketing, and data analytics. For the avoidance of doubt, the Nomad Project Manager will have no power to serve notice or amend the Agreement, or this Order.

Leading up to the launch of, and during the course of the Deployment, Nomad’s Project Team, led by the Nomad Project Manager, will liaise with the Customer Project Manager over the key deliverables of this Order and to endeavor to maximize ongoing service optimization.

6. Driver Partner Registration & Supply Management

664
Nomad will source Driver Partners to provide transportation services to Customer through the Platform. Nomad will engage in a good faith effort to register Richmond residents as Driver Partners.

As part of Driver Partner registration for access to the Platform, all Driver Partners will be introduced to Nomad with the following areas covered: familiarization with the Deployment service areas; hours of service; Customer’s expectations; use of the Driver App; and reporting incidents and delays in service.

Nomad will be responsible for ensuring that there is adequate driver supply for each service zone within designated hours to meet demand with optimal quality of service, given constraints.

7. Rider and Driver Partner Support

Nomad will ensure the provision of customer service and support for Driver Partners and Riders on issues that arise in connection with use of the Platform.

Following each ride, the Rider will be prompted to submit a ride rating with feedback in the app.

If an issue arises for a Rider or Driver Partner before, during, or after a ride, these parties will be able to reach customer support staff by phone, or by submitting an email ticket, which will be replied to promptly by such customer support staff.

8. Marketing, Promotions, & Press

Nomad shall work closely with Customer to determine a unified marketing and promotional program that increases community awareness of the service and maximizes its success.

The Deployment, including the rider app will be co-branded as “powered by Via”. The “powered by Via” banner must be used only in the exact format provided by Nomad and will be prominent on all assets promoting the Deployment, including (but not limited to) printed collateral, digital materials, websites, and any vehicle wraps. The “powered by Via” banner will have equal prominence on all marketing materials to any additional partner logos or trademarks. Nomad may provide pre-approved brand assets and guidelines that must be complied with in all marketing communications distributed by the Customer.

All Customer-developed content that pertains to Via’s brand, technology, and operations must be reviewed and approved in writing (i.e. email) by Nomad before distribution. A minimum of five business days review time must be provided in advance to NoMad] for its review.

Nomad shall provide marketing strategy for the Deployment, including the following activities and tactics:

● Develop a marketing plan to guide the overall strategy and tactics to drive Rider awareness, acquisition, and growth.
● Design key marketing collateral (print and digital).
● Design vehicle branding/graphics in coordination with the Customer. 665
● Create virality by providing an intuitive and frictionless referral program with customizable incentive structures that creates opportunities for Riders to become the service’s biggest ambassadors.
● Manage digital marketing campaigns to build awareness and drive service adoption. ● Propose and implement in-app promotional programs to drive Rider activation, retention, growth.
● Customer shall assist with the execution of the marketing plan and promotion of the Platform to Riders, and will coordinate closely with Nomad in all respects, including the following activities:
● Develop a media relations plan to drive publicity for the service unique to this area, including a press release and kick-off event that is planned in conjunction with Nomad.

All key project messaging used for public relations purposes is to be developed in collaboration with Nomad. Any media announcement on the Deployment will be made available for Nomad’s review and approval prior to the Launch Date. ● Implement community outreach plan by meeting with key organizations and community members ahead of Launch Date and throughout the duration of Deployment to educate, build awareness, and garner support for the service.
● Engage with local city leaders and politicians; request support in reaching out to their communities through their own communication channels.

The Customer shall provide Nomad with a detailed marketing plan for the portions of marketing that the Customer is leading at least 4 weeks before the launch of the service. Nomad and Customer will work collaboratively to refine the plan as needed. For the avoidance of doubt, Nomad will have the flexibility to execute similar marketing initiatives as the Customer at its own expense. In such cases, Nomad will coordinate with the Customer in advance.

666

9. Data Sharing & Reporting

Nomad will share data from the Deployment as set forth in Appendix 1 (the “Deployment Data”).

The Deployment Data shall be made available in formatted numerical and graphical reports.

VOC use and Data Sharing

Authorized Users
The below exhibit sets forth the members of the Customer’s “Core Team” of personnel who are designated authorized users of the VOC including access to the data detailed below (the “Core Team”). Access to the VOC is conditional upon Customer notifying Nomad with reasonable advance notice of the name, title, email address and any other details Nomad may reasonably require of the members of the Customer Core Team. The Core Team may be updated during the Term subject to Nomad’s consent.

Exhibit 1.

Customer to provide details no later than one month prior to Launch
Customer to provide details no later than one month prior to Launch

Customer Core Team will be granted suitable permissions to allow them to manage and authorize access of additional Customer personnel as secondary users (“ Secondary Users”) to the VOC. All Core Team and Secondary Users will be subject to Customer’s confidentiality and non -disclosure obligations, as described in the Terms. For the avoidance of any doubt, Customer’s Core Team responsibility includes granting permissions to S econdary Users only to the extent such permission is needed for the Customer’s 674
operation of the Deployment and in compliance with applicable privacy legislation, and removing any Secondary User access once it is no longer needed. Nomad retains the right to deny or revoke any Core Team or Secondary User access if Nomad suspects that such access may be causing or have caused a breach of the Terms, or any user guidance Nomad issues from time to time.

Authorized Operators

Customer may not provide access to the Via Solution to any third party except with Nomad’s prior written consent. In the event that Customer wishes to engage a third -party operator (“Operator”) to operate the Deployment, Customer shall provide Nomad a copy of an Operator Acknowledgement Form in the form required by Nomad, duly executed by such Operator, as a prerequisite for Nomad’s allowing the Operator access to the Via Solution. For the avoidance of doubt, no Operator will be allowed access to the Via S olution without having signed the Operator Acknowledgement Form. Customer Core Team will be responsible for grant of VOC permissions to the Operator’s team, which will be considered Secondary Users for all purposes. As between Customer and Nomad, Customer shall remain responsible for acts and omissions of any Operator as it relates to Operator's access to the Via Solution.

Data Sharing Plan

As part of the Deployment, and as detailed below, Nomad will make access to data available to members of the Customer’s Core Team, and any above-authorized Customer’s Secondary User(s) and/or Operator(s), for the purpose of research and program evaluation for the duration of the Term. The data will be accessib le in the VOC, and may not be shared through any other method unless otherwise authorized in writing by Nomad. Any and all data made available under this Order are trade secrets of Nomad, and subject to the confidentiality and other protective provisions set forth in the Terms at all times. Customer may not share any such data with anyone not authorized in accordance with this Appendix 1.

To protect Nomad’s Intellectual Property Rights and the privacy of riders, Nomad will provide the following data tables and dashboards in the form of aggregated reports and data tables to Customer through VOC:
● Service KPI Dashboards: Visualized dashboards and graphs of Key Performance Indicators. These dashboards provide a high level view of the overall service performance across a number of metrics and periods of time. Dashboards are available for download as .jpeg files or in raw form as excel spreadsheets. ● Data Generator: Set of tables with granular raw data about the service that are available for download as excel or csv spreadsheets.

The reports will be refreshed daily. The reports are aggregated and any information about individual riders is de-identified. [Additional off-the-shelf reporting may be made available to Customer upon request at Nomad’s discretion. Custom reports will need to be scoped and may come at additional cost.]

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.

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.

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.
