City Clerk's Office
DATE: October 6, 2026
TO: Mayor Martinez and Members of the City Council
FROM: Pamela Christian, City Clerk
Subject: Contract Amendment No. 2 with Wordly, Inc. for Translation Services
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed $14,985 expenditure is included within the approved Fiscal Year 2026-2027 City Clerk budget
(Account String: 01141013–400201).
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
December 17, 2024
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
Following directions from the City Council, the City
Clerk’s Office executed a contract with Wordly, Inc. in December 2025, to receive translation services for City Council meetings via software system. The services the
software offers are allotted for hours based on the
amount purchased. The current contract is not set to
expire until December 1, 2026; however, the City Clerk’s Office anticipates running out of hours prior to then. To continue service without interruption, a second
amendment to the contract is needed to add more
service hours and extend the term through November 30,
2027.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE a second amendment to the contract with Wordly, Inc., to continue providing software to support translations at City Council meetings, increasing the
contract amount by $14,985, for a total amount not to
exceed $24,953.75, and extending the contract term
through November 30, 2027 - City Clerk’s Office (Pamela Christian 510-620-6513).
AGENDA
REPORT
15
October 6, 2026
DISCUSSION:
On December 17, 2024, the City Council directed City staff to create a plan to offer simultaneous Spanish/English translation at City Council meetings by January 1, 2026.
The City Clerk’s Office surveyed other local jurisdictions to see what methods and/or service providers were being used to provide translation services during council meetings. City staff found that many jurisdictions were using software systems with the capability to provide live translations and further researched different providers.
The City Clerk’s Office, in collaboration with KCRT staff, received demonstrations and quotes from three different translation software providers, determining that of the three providers, Wordly, Inc., was best suited to meet the City’s operational needs. The Wordly, Inc. system was selected due to price, ease of use, and the features offered such as live audio translation, live text captions, and access to translations via QR code/URL.
The initial contract with Wordly, Inc., was for a not-to-exceed amount of $6,875, to provide 100 hours of service for a one-year term beginning December 1, 2025.
Subsequently, additional service hours were needed, and the initial contract was therefore amended to add 50 hours. City staff anticipate that all service hours will be used prior to the expiration of the current contract and recommend that the City Council approve a second amendment to acquire an additional 270 hours to avoid a lapse in service.

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).

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

Revised: September 2011
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 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.

RICHMOND - ECIA COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM
FY 2026-2027 GRANT APPLICATION GUIDELINES
ECIA BACKGROUND
On July 29, 2014, the Richmond City Council approved the Chevron Environmental and Community Investment Agreement (ECIA), which will invest $90 million dollars to the Richmond community over 10-years. The ECIA includes investments in community programs, a scholarship program, competitive community grants, community-based greenhouse gas reduction programs, and a photovoltaic solar farm.
The ECIA specifies the amount and disbursement timeline of Chevron’s funding obligation, as well as funding allocations over a ten-year period (beginning in 2016) for the following programs:
• Scholarship program - $35 million
• Electric City and Easy Go - $18 million
• Roof-top solar, energy retrofit, zoning ordinance update - $6.25 million • Job training program - $6 million
• Competitive grant program - $6 million
• Transportation and transit programs - $2.75 million
• Public safety programs - $2 million
• Urban Forestry - $2 million
• Free internet access - $1 million
• Climate Action Plan - $1 million
It is proposed that $715,000 is allocated for the total FY 2026-27 ECIA grant cycle. This RFA is relevant to Categories 1 and 2 only, with a total available award amount of $565,000.
It is the goal of the Richmond City Council to provide opportunities for organizations with varying capacities and financial needs to have access to ECIA grant funds. ECIA grant funds are awarded on an annual basis and therefore, organizations should not become reliant on this funding source. All Richmond-serving non-profit organizations are eligible to apply for funding; however, in an attempt to fund a variety of organizations, the City Council would like to allocate the majority of the available grant funding to organizations that have smaller annual budgets, greater needs for capacity building and limited staffing, and that might not have access to other forms of funding.
63 Guidelines -4- FY 2026-2027 ECIA Grant (Categories 1&2)
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Organizations must meet the following conditions to be eligible to apply for a grant:

• Provide services to Richmond residents (Richmond-serving) ▪ A minimum of 80 percent of the organization’s proposed grant-funded programs/services must be provided to Richmond residents. If awarded an ECIA grant, grant funds can only be spent serving Richmond residents.
Note: Organizations that received an ECIA grant award of more than $10,000 during the previous (FY 2025-26) ECIA grant cycle are ineligible to apply in the current grant cycle (FY 2026-76).

Through this grant program, the City strongly encourages applicants to collaborate with other organizations. Collaboration is a mutually beneficial relationship to meet a common goal. Collaboration can come in many forms, from information sharing to joint programming. It can help organizations reduce redundancy in service sectors, leverage resources, share strengths, and increase efficiencies.
For purposes of this grant, when partnering with another organization, the application and budget of the lead organization will be considered for review and determination of funding. Therefore, the partnering organization is free to apply independently for funding for another project or program.
If the successful implementation of your proposed ECIA grant-funded program is dependent on the collaboration with a governmental entity (i.e., state, county, city, school district, etc.), then a written agreement authorizing the collaborative relationship must accompany your grant application. At a minimum, the agreement should contain the following information: names of the government entity(ies) or agency(ies) which will participate in the collaboration, contact information for the partner(s), and a description of the primary purpose of the collaboration. For example, if the implementation of your proposed program is contingent upon working at a school in the West Contra Costa County Unified School District or utilizing space at a Richmond recreation center, then a letter from the collaborating entity must agree to the proposed partnership.

Exhibit A
Contracted Performance Measures and Policies
PHI has contracted with AmeriCorps to implement CivicSpark as an AmeriCorps program. Fellows can only work on service outlined in performance measures approved by AmeriCorps and must abide by Federal guidelines for AmeriCorps program implementation. Performance measures define how CivicSpark will provide service to Partner by: conducting assessments; implementing planning, research or implementation projects; engaging volunteers; and transferring knowledge to Partner staff. The project scope in Exhibit B must align with the measures below:
1) Capacity Building for Local Service Recipients – Fellows’ direct service hours should be spent building capacity for local service recipients to address their relative needs with regard to specific issues (e.g., community planning, energy, transportation, water, housing, public safety, etc.). Fellows will address these needs by assisting one or more local service recipients to develop or implement projects that they would otherwise not be able to complete. Capacity building will be delivered in 3 stages, including: (1) gap assessments; (2) research, planning, and implementation service projects; and (3) transition of knowledge. 2) Volunteer Engagement – All Fellows should have the opportunity to build further capacity by engaging, recruiting, and supporting volunteers. Volunteers may be engaged as either one-time volunteers (e.g., – volunteers to assist for a specific event such as Earth Day or service activities) or as on-going volunteers such as interns).
3) Training and Professional Development for Fellows – Fellows can spend up to 20% of their service year on training. Specific hours are outlined in Exhibit D based on the length of the service term. Training includes the three-day orientation at the start of the service year, mid-year training symposium, regular monthly trainings, and professional development and networking opportunities. Training hours ensure that Fellows have the training and tools they need to succeed in their service work and to grow as professionals.
The majority of the work provided by CivicSpark to Partner via direct service only involves the first measure (Capacity Building). The second and third measures are predominantly met through training, service and professional development activities provided to the Fellows by PHI. Some activities that occur while working with local government beneficiaries or other project partners may be considered training and professional development, such as networking events and trainings conducted by or attended in partnership with Partner.
Prohibited Activities: Federal guidelines further restrict certain activities, which cannot be engaged in by CivicSpark Fellows or Supervisors while charging time to the AmeriCorps program, accumulating service or training hours, or otherwise performing activities supported by the CivicSpark program or AmeriCorps, this includes direct fundraising or grant writing which are not allowable activities in CivicSpark. In addition to only working on contracted performance measure service activities, the following activities are prohibited (see 45 CFR § 2520.65):
1. Attempting to influence legislation;
2. Organizing or engaging in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes;
3. Assisting, promoting, or deterring union organizing; 125
For PHI Internal use
CS App ID XXXX PHI00XXXX - XXXX Page 7 of 18
DocID #78488v1
4. Impairing existing contracts for services or collective bargaining agreements;
5. Engaging in partisan political activities, or other activities designed to influence the outcome of an election to any public office;
6. Participating in, or endorsing, events or activities that are likely to include advocacy for or against political parties, political platforms, political candidates, proposed legislation, or elected officials;
7. Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization;
8. Providing a direct benefit to—
(1) A business organized for profit;
(2) A labor union;
(3) A partisan political organization;
(4) A nonprofit organization that fails to comply with the restrictions contained in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 except that nothing in these provisions shall be construed to prevent participants from engaging in advocacy activities undertaken at their own initiative; and
(5) An organization engaged in the religious activities described above, unless AmeriCorps assistance is not used to support those religious activities;
9. Conducting a voter registration drive or using AmeriCorps funds to conduct a voter registration drive;
10. Providing abortion services or referrals for receipt of such services; and
11. Such other activities as AmeriCorps may prohibit.
Fellows, like other private citizens, may participate in the above listed activities on their own time, at their own expense, and on their own initiative. However, the AmeriCorps logo must not be worn while doing so.
Reasonable Accommodations: Per Federal Guidelines and PHI policies, the CivicSpark programs and activities must follow equal opportunity employment requirements and be accessible to persons with disabilities by providing reasonable accommodation. In support of this:
1. PHI and Partner will comply with Equal Opportunity Employment guidelines.
2. PHI and Partner will endeavor to make reasonable accommodations to known physical or mental limitations of qualified AmeriCorps members with disabilities unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the program operations.
3. PHI and Partner will endeavor to accommodate the sincere religious beliefs of AmeriCorps Members to the extent such accommodation does not pose an undue hardship on the Organization's operations.
4. PHI and Partner will not allow any form of retaliation against individuals who raise issues of equal employment opportunity or reasonable accommodation.
Non-Duplication and Non-Displacement: Federal guidelines further restrict engagement of CivicSpark 126

DocID #78488v1
Fellows to duplicate or displace staff (see 45 CFR § 2540.100(e)-(f), noted below) (1) Nonduplication. AmeriCorps assistance may not be used to duplicate an activity that is already available in the locality of a program. And, unless the requirements of paragraph (2) of this section are met, AmeriCorps assistance will not be provided to a private nonprofit entity to conduct activities that are the same or substantially equivalent to activities provided by a State or local government agency in which such entity resides.
(2) Nondisplacement.
(i) An employer may not displace an employee or position, including partial displacement such as reduction in hours, wages, or employment benefits, as a result of the use by such employer of a participant in a program receiving AmeriCorps assistance. (ii) An organization may not displace a volunteer by using a participant in a program receiving AmeriCorps assistance.
(iii) A service opportunity will not be created under this chapter that will infringe in any manner on the promotional opportunity of an employed individual. (iv) A participant in a program receiving AmeriCorps assistance may not perform any services or duties or engage in activities that would otherwise be performed by an employee as part of the assigned duties of such employee. (v) A participant in any program receiving assistance under this chapter may not perform any services or duties, or engage in activities, that—

Labor Union Concurrence: In following non-duplication and non-displacement AmeriCorps policies as noted above, the Partner must obtain the written concurrence of any local labor organization(s) representing employees of the Partner who are engaged in the same or substantially similar work as that proposed to be carried out by the Fellow in Exhibit B if they:
1. Will serve as a placement site for AmeriCorps members (Fellows);
2. Has employees engaged in the same or substantially similar work as that proposed to be carried out by AmeriCorps members; and
3. Those employees are represented by a local labor organization.
Written concurrence can be in the form of a letter or e- mail from the local union leadership. Written concurrence should be included along with this contract if applicable. 127

Partner is not required to obtain labor organization concurrence if:
1. There are no local labor organizations representing employees of the Partner who are engaged in the same or substantially similar work as that proposed to be carried out; or

Non-Harassment and Civil Rights Policy:
Program Civil Rights and Non-Harassment Policy
Advancing civil rights and equal opportunity is the responsibility of the whole of government, and AmeriCorps is committed to these principles, including treating all persons who participate in our programs with dignity and respect. The service environments demand that AmeriCorps maintains a zero tolerance for unlawful harassment or discrimination against any individual or groups engaged in national service.
AmeriCorps expects the same commitment from all recipients (Recipients) of services, programs, and benefits; including service members, volunteers, associated individuals, organizations, programs, and projects. This policy is incorporated by reference into the terms and conditions for AmeriCorps Recipients, inclusive of sub-grantees.
Recipients are expected to notify service members and volunteers of their rights under this policy.
In accordance with applicable laws and regulations, AmeriCorps prohibits all forms of discrimination and harassment based on the protected categories of race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, sexual orientation, disability (mental or physical), political affiliation, marital or parental status, pregnancy, reprisal, genetic information (including family medical history), or military service. All entities receiving federal financial assistance from AmeriCorps; and all programs, services, and benefits administered by such entities; must be free from all forms of discrimination and harassment. Harassment is any unwelcome conduct or conduct done in reprisal for opposing discrimination or participating in the discrimination complaint process, when such behavior has the purpose or effect of interfering with service performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive service environment.
Harassment may include slurs and other verbal or physical conduct relating to an individual’s sex, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected category. Examples of harassing conduct include, but are not limited to: explicit or implicit demands for sexual favors; pressure to engage in a romantic relationship or for dates; deliberate touching of another person without consent; leaning over or cornering a person; repeated offensive teasing, jokes, remarks, or questions; unwanted letters, text messages, emails, or phone calls; distribution or display of offensive materials, including on social media; offensive looks or gestures; and/or sexual, racial, ethnic, or religious baiting. Harassment can also include physical assault or other threatening behavior, as well as other demeaning, debasing, or abusive comments or actions that intimidate.
AmeriCorps does not tolerate discrimination and harassment from anyone, including Recipients; AmeriCorps employees and supervisors; project or site employees and supervisors; project or site non-employees (e.g., contractors or clients of a project or site); or national service participants. Harassment is unacceptable in AmeriCorps offices or campuses and in other service-related settings such as convenings, training sessions, service sites, and at service-related social events, whether in-person or online.
Any discrimination or harassment, when substantiated, will result in corrective action, up to and including removal or termination of any individual engaging in such misconduct. AmeriCorps Recipients permitting discrimination or harassment in violation of this policy will be subject to a finding of non-compliance, which may result in termination of federal financial assistance.
129
For PHI Internal use
CS App ID XXXX PHI00XXXX - XXXX Page 11 of 18
DocID #78488v1
Recipients are expected to take prompt action to effectively address service member and volunteer complaints.
Recipients must immediately investigate complaints of discrimination or harassment and take appropriate measures to remedy the situation. Supervisors and managers of AmeriCorps programs and projects; when made aware of alleged discrimination or harassment by employees, service members and volunteers, or any other associated individuals; must report the matter to the personnel in the Recipient’s organization who are responsible for investigating such claims or AmeriCorps’ Office of Civil Rights (OCR). OCR conducts service member and volunteer discrimination and harassment inquiries.
AmeriCorps prohibits any retaliatory action against a person who raises discrimination or harassment concerns.
Service members and volunteers who believe they have been subjected to treatment in violation of any civil rights laws, regulations, or this policy, or have been subject to retaliation for opposing discrimination or participating in discrimination complaint proceedings (e.g., filing a complaint or acting as a witness) in any AmeriCorps program or project, may contact the OCR at (202) 606-7503 or [email protected]. Recipients must contact OCR within 30 calendar days of an occurrence of discrimination or harassing conduct to initiate an inquiry in the civil rights complaint process.
Service members and volunteers are not required to use a program, project, or sponsor dispute resolution process before contacting OCR. While Recipients are expected to take prompt action to effectively address service member and volunteer complaints, Recipients cannot institute policies requiring any such matters be handled “in house.” If a service member or volunteer chooses to pursue another dispute resolution or complaint procedure, it does not suspend the 30 calendar-day time limit for contacting OCR. Discrimination and harassment claims that are not brought to the attention of OCR within 30 calendar days of the occurrence may not be accepted for investigation if a formal complaint of discrimination is filed.
Service members, volunteers, grantees, sub-grantees, and Recipients may contact OCR at [email protected] for information or assistance. Further details on AmeriCorps’ civil rights complaint process can be found at 45 C.F.R.

Subject: Contract with W.R. Forde Associates, Inc. for the 2026 Point Potrero Marine Terminal Infrastructure and
Maintenance Project
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed not-to-exceed amount of $5,478,693 for a three-year contract term will be funded by $3,950,000
available within the approved Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Port Budget under Account String 40163080-400708, within
Project Codes 36009, 36012, and 36036, and an
appropriation of $1,528,693 to the Port Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 under Account String 40163080-400708,
Project Code 36012. Existing funds within Project Codes 36009, 36012, and 36036 will be transferred to Project
Code 36012, resulting in total project funding of
$5,478,693. There is no impact on the General Fund.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
The Port of Richmond operates the Point Potrero Marine
Terminal (PPMT) and is responsible for infrastructure
maintenance of pavement, storm drainage, utility
metering, lighting, safety, and fire water systems that have reached the end of their service lives and require rehabilitation to support continued safe and secure
operating environment at the Port.
AGENDA
REPORT
142
October 6, 2026
RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT a resolution to APPROPRIATE $1,528,693 from the Port’s cash account to the Port’s Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 Budget; AUTHORIZE the transfer of available funds
under Account String 40163080-400708 within Project
Codes 36009, 36012, and 36036 to Project Code 36012,
resulting in total project funding of $5,478,693; and
APPROVE a three-year contract with W.R. Forde
Associates, Inc. of Richmond, California, for pavement
rehabilitation, storm drain repair, striping, lighting, utility metering, and fire water valve upgrades at the Point
Potrero Marine Terminal in an amount not to exceed
$5,478,693, with a term expiration of October 14, 2029 – Economic Development Department (Charles Gerard
510-620-6792).
DISCUSSION:
The Port of Richmond owns and operates the Point Potrero Marine Terminal (PPMT), which supports a variety of tenant marine-related operations, including international automobile imports and processing, critical commercial marine operations that support the Bay Area, emergency environmental response operations, marine contractors and repair, historical and educational areas, and the Bay Trail for community access and enjoyment. Port operations depend on the condition of the terminal's paved areas, storm drainage, and utility systems. Maintenance of the pavement is required to preserve its integrity. Several storm drain lines and water valves dating to the 1950s have deteriorated and require repair. Finally, the Port proposes to install additional lighting, as well as water and electrical metering system to improve its ability to quickly and efficiently recoup utility expenses.
The 2026 Point Potrero Marine Terminal Maintenance Project addresses these conditions under a single construction contract. The scope of work includes asphalt crack sealing and slurry sealing of approximately 430,000 square yards of terminal pavement, localized pavement repair and sinkhole repair, asphalt mill and overlay in multiple areas, storm drain slip lining and drain inlet installation, thermoplastic and painted striping and delineation, light-emitting diode (LED) and solar lighting, installation of electrical and water metering and communication infrastructure, replacement of water valves, including fire water valving, and related site improvements such as guardrail, fencing, and fender replacement on the wharf.
The Port advertised the project on August 11, 2026, through the City's Bids Online system, which distributed the invitation for bids to 753 registered vendors (Attachment 1). Ten contractors attended the pre-bid meeting held on August 17, 2026. Sealed bids were opened on September 10, 2026, and four bids were received (Attachment 2). The engineer's estimate for the work was $4.6 million.
143
October 6, 2026
Bidder Location Bid Amount Evaluated Amount
Lucas Electrical Antioch $298,700.00 Non-responsive
Dynamo Construction Moraga $5,384,508.70 $5,384,508.70
W.R. Forde Associates, Inc. Richmond $5,478,693.00 $5,204,758.35 Argonaut Constructors Santa Rosa $6,623,148.00 $6,623,148.00 Port staff reviewed each bid for responsiveness, including contractor licensing, Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) public works registration, bid bond, signed addenda, non-collusion affidavit, workers' compensation acknowledgment, and subcontractor listing (Attachment 3). Lucas Electrical submitted prices for only three of the 48 bid items and did not bid the balance of the work. Its bid is therefore deemed non-responsive and cannot be considered for award.
The bids of Dynamo Construction, W.R. Forde Associates, Inc., and Argonaut Constructors were each found responsive. All three bidders hold active California contractor's licenses in good standing with the Contractors State License Board, and all three are registered with the DIR as required for Public Works. Each submitted the required bid bond, signed addenda, non-collusion affidavit, and workers' compensation acknowledgment, and each attended the pre-bid meeting.
Dynamo Construction submitted the apparent low responsive bid at $5,384,508.70.
W.R. Forde Associates, Inc. is a local Richmond-based business and qualifies for the City's Richmond Business Opportunity Ordinance which gives first preference to businesses within City limits to support local employment and economic growth. Under this policy W.R. Forde Associates, Inc. qualifies as a local bidder and price is reduced by five percent for purposes of bid evaluation only. Applying the preference, the evaluated bid of W.R. Forde Associates, Inc. is $5,204,758.35, which is $179,750.35 below the bid of Dynamo Construction. W.R. Forde Associates, Inc. is therefore the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The preference governs the comparison of bids only; the contract amount and all payments to the contractor are based on the bid as submitted, $5,478,693.
The engineer's estimate is about 18 percent lower than the bid for W.R. Forde Associates, Inc. The California Construction Cost Index, which measures inflation in the construction economy, was relatively flat earlier this year but increased about 4.5 percent between May and August 2026. In discussions with the construction community, staff heard consistent concerns about material cost inflation. However, the two lowest responsive bids are within 2 percent of one another, indicating that the bid amounts reflect current market pricing for this type and volume of work rather than an irregularity in any single bid. Sufficient funds are available within the approved Port budget to award the contract at the bid amount.
The Port staff recommend the City Council adopt the resolution to appropriate $1,528,693 to the Port’s Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget and awarding the construction contract to W.R. Forde Associates, Inc. as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in an amount not to exceed $5,478,693 (Attachments 4 and 5). Award of this contract allows the Port to restore the terminal's pavement, drainage, and utility systems to 144
October 6, 2026
serviceable condition, to meter tenant water and electrical use accurately, and to maintain safe operating conditions for terminal tenants and their employees. Work will begin once a Notice to Proceed (NTP) is issued.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project consists of the repair, maintenance, and minor alteration of existing terminal pavement, drainage, utility, and lighting facilities, involves negligible or no expansion of existing use, and is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities).
SYNERGISTIC POLICIES:
City Council Goals and Priorities – Strategic Goal Area 2.5: Revitalization of the Port.
This contract will advance the Port’s goals while maintaining a safe and secure area for all Port users.

In the event of a discrepancy between the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid, and the amount entered as the base bid on the Bid Proposal form, the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid will be deemed the base bid price.

C. The Contractor and any subcontractor under the Contractor shall comply with Labor Code Sections 1774 and 1775. Pursuant to Section 1775, the Contractor and any subcontractor under the Contractor shall forfeit to the State or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded a penalty of not more than fifty dollars ($50) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done under the contract by the Contractor or by any subcontractor under the Contractor in violation of the requirements of the Labor Code and in particular, Labor Code Sections 1770 to 1780, inclusive.

If a worker employed by a subcontractor on a public works project is not paid the general prevailing per diem wages by the subcontractor, the prime contractor of the project is not liable for the penalties described above unless the prime contractor had knowledge of that failure of the subcontractor to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the prime contractor fails to comply with all of the following requirements:
1. The contract executed between the contractor and the subcontractor for the performance of work on the public works project shall include a copy of the requirements in Sections 1771, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813 and 1815 of the Labor Code.

4. Prior to making final payment to the subcontractor for work performed on the public works project, the contractor shall obtain an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury from the subcontractor that the subcontractor has paid the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages to the subcontractor's employees on the public works project and any amounts due pursuant to Section 1813 of the Labor Code.

If the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement determines that employees of a subcontractor were not paid the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and if the Department did not retain sufficient money under the contract to pay those employees the balance of wages owed under the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, the contractor shall withhold an amount of moneys due the subcontractor sufficient to pay those employees the general prevailing rate of per diem wages if requested by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. The Contractor shall pay any money retained from and owed to a subcontractor upon receipt of notification by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement that the wage complaint has been resolved. If notice of the resolution of the wage complaint has not been received by the Contractor within 180 days of the filing of a valid notice of completion or acceptance of the public works project, whichever occurs later, the Contractor shall pay all moneys retained from the subcontractor to the Department.
These moneys shall be retained by the Department pending the final decision of an enforcement action.
E. Pursuant to the requirements in Section 1773 of the Labor Code, the City has obtained the general prevailing rate of wages (which rate includes employer payments for health and welfare, pension, vacation, travel time and subsistence pay as provided for in Section 1773.8 of the Labor Code, apprenticeship or other training programs authorized by Section 3093 of the Labor Code, and similar purposes) applicable to the work to be done, for straight time, overtime, Saturday, Sunday and holiday work. The holiday wage rate listed shall be applicable to all holidays recognized in the collective bargaining agreement of the particular craft, classification or type of workmen concerned.
F. The general prevailing wage rates and any applicable changes to these wage rates are available from the California Department of Industrial Relations' Internet Web Site at: http://www.dir.ca.gov.
G. The wage rates determined by the Director of Industrial Relations for the project refer to expiration dates. Prevailing wage determinations with a single asterisk after the expiration date are in effect on the date of advertisement for bids and are good for the life of the contract. Prevailing wage determinations with double asterisks after the expiration date indicate that the wage rate to be paid for work performed after this 164
Bid Schedule
14 date has been determined. If work is to extend past this date, the new rate shall be paid and incorporated in the contract. The Contractor shall contact the Department of Industrial Relations as indicated in the wage rate determinations to obtain predetermined wage changes.
H. Pursuant to Section 1773.2 of the Labor Code, general prevailing wage rates shall be posted by the Contractor at a prominent place at the site of the work.
I. Changes in general prevailing wage determinations which conform to Labor Code Section 1773.6 and Title 8 California Code of Regulations Section 16204 shall apply to the project when issued by the Director of Industrial Relations at least 10 days prior to the date of the Notice to Contractors for the project.
J. The City of Richmond will not recognize any claim for additional compensation because of the payment by the Contractor of any wage rate in excess of the prevailing wage rate set forth in the contract. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Contractor in determining the bid, and will not under any circumstances be considered as the basis of a claim against the City on the contract.
19. GUARANTY
All work shall be guaranteed for a period of one (1) year from the date of acceptance by the City. The Contractor shall promptly make all needed repairs arising out of defective materials, workmanship and equipment.

In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount as the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price; (b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentagewise the unit price or item total in the CITY’s Final Estimate of cost.
If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular. Likewise if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.
In the case of a discrepancy between the Total Bid and the sum of all item totals/extensions (due to math errors by the Bidder), the extensions shall prevail and the CITY shall reconcile the error.
Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items total shall prevail.
The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to cover every omission, inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any situation not specifically provided for will be determined in the discretion of the CITY, and that discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the CITY to best protect the public interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the CITY respecting the amount of a bid, or the existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be final.
In accordance with Public Contract Code 5103, within five days after the opening of bids, a bidder may withdraw its bid providing the bidder can establish to the CITY's satisfaction that a mistake was made in preparing the bid. A bidder desiring to withdraw shall give 169
Bid Schedule
19 written notice to the CITY, specifying, in detail, how the mistake occurred and how the mistake made the bid materially different than it was intended to be. Withdrawal will not be permitted for mistakes resulting from errors in judgment or carelessness in inspecting the site of the work or in reading the Contract Documents. Other than as provided above for discrepancies, CITY will not waive clerical errors.
The quantities given in the Notice to Contractors, Proposal, and Contract forms are approximate only, being given as a basis for the comparison of Proposals, and the City does not, expressly or by implication, warrant that the actual amount of work will correspond therewith, and reserves the right to increase or decrease the amount of any item or portion of the work, or to omit portions of the work, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the City Engineer. Payment for changes in quantities shall be in accordance with Caltrans Standard Specifications section 4-1.05, as revised herein and in the Special Provisions. No allowance will be made for anticipated profit on work which is deleted or decreased.

66 Section 2.2 Remedies.
The occurrence of any Default hereunder following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods will, either at the option of the City or automatically where so specified, relieve the City of any obligation to make or continue payments and shall give the City the right to proceed with any and all remedies set forth in the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the following:
(a) Specific Performance. The City shall have the right to mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity to require Contractor to perform its obligations and covenants under this Agreement or to enjoin acts on things which may be unlawful or in violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of the City to exercise any such rights and remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the City of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of such right or remedy, or any other right or remedy.
Section 2.3 Waiver of Damages.
Contractor, in having tendered the Proposal, shall be deemed to have waived any and all claims for damages because of termination of this Agreement for any reason. Contractor shall not be entitled to any lost profit in the event of termination.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 3.1 Relationship of Parties.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or understood by any of the Parties, or by any third persons, as creating the relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, limited or general partnership, or joint venture between the City and Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors, and Contractor shall at all times be deemed an independent contractor and shall be wholly responsible for the manner in which it or its agents, or both, perform the services required of it by the terms of this Agreement.

CONTRACT
67 withholding, and all other laws and regulations governing such matters, and shall include requirements in each contract that subcontractors shall be solely responsible for similar matters relating to their employees. Contractor shall be solely responsible for its own acts and those of its agents and employees.
Section 3.2 Change Orders.
(a) Changes affecting the time of performance, unit pricing, or total contract price shall be set forth in a written Change Order that shall specify:
1. The work performed in connection with the change to be made;
2. The amount of the adjustment to the Payment Limit, if any, and the basis for compensation for the work ordered; which adjustment may be a negotiated lump sum amount, agreed unit price, or paid under Section 9-1.04 “Force Account” of the 2010 State of California Department of Transportation Standard Specifications; and
3. The amount of time to be adjusted in the schedule for performance, if any. (b) A Change Order will become effective when signed by the Department Head, or his or her representative, notwithstanding that Contractor has not signed it. A Change Order will become effective without Contractor’s signature, provided the Department Head or his or her representative so indicates by noting thereon “unilateral change order.” (c) All changes in any plans and specification approved by any authority with jurisdiction over the Project may also require addenda or change orders approved by that authority.
(d) Where the City requests, a performance bond rider covering the changed work must be executed and delivered to the City before proceeding with the changed work, or shortly in time thereafter.
(e) The Department Head or his or her representative has the authority to approve Change Orders with a cumulative dollar value of up to ten percent (10%) of the contract price.
Section 3.3 Claims By Contractor.
(a) No Third-Party Claims. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or justify any claim against the City by any person that Contractor may have employed or with whom Contractor may have contracted relative to the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment, or the furnishing or the performance of any work or services with respect to the construction of the Project, and Contractor shall include similar requirements in any contracts entered into for the construction of the Project.
(b) Obligation to File Claims for Disputed Work. Should it appear to the Contractor that the work to be performed or any of the matters relative to the Contract Documents are not satisfactorily detailed or explained therein, or should any questions arise as to the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents, or should any dispute arise regarding the true value of any work performed, work omitted, extra work that the Contractor may be required to perform, time extensions, payment to the Contractor during performance of the work, construction of the Project, and/or compliance with procedures or standards set forth in the Contract Documents, or should Contractor otherwise seek extra time or compensation FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, then Contractor shall first follow the procedures set forth in this Agreement, 218
CONTRACT
68 including but not limited to Section 3.2, “Change Orders.” If a dispute remains, then Contractor shall give written notice to the City that expressly invokes this Section 3.3 and requests a determination of the issue. City shall decide the issue in writing within 15 days; City’s decision shall be final and the limitations period for the filing of a claim shall commence upon the City’s issuance of its decision. If Contractor disagrees with City’s decision, or if Contractor contends that City failed to provide a timely decision, then Contractor’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY is to file a written claim setting forth Contractor’s position as required herein. (c) Form and Contents of Claim. The Claim shall be submitted to the City within thirty (30) days of receiving the City’s written decision regarding the dispute, or the date the Contractor contends such decision was due, and in no event later than the date of final payment. Contractor’s written claim must identify itself as a “Claim” under this Section 3.3 and must include the following: (1) a narrative of pertinent events; (2) citation to contract provisions; (3) theory of entitlement; (4) complete pricing of all cost impacts; (5) a time impact analysis of all time delays that shows actual time impact on the critical path; (6) documentation supporting items 1 – 5; and (7) verification under penalty of perjury of the claim’s accuracy. The Claim shall be priced like a Change Order, and must be updated every thirty (30) days as to cost and entitlement if it remains a continuing Claim.

Contractor shall bear all costs incurred in preparation, submittal, and administration of a Claim. (d) Administration After Claim Submittal.
1. City may render a final decision based solely on the materials submitted in support of the Claim or may in its sole discretion conduct an administrative hearing on the Claim, in which case Contractor shall appear, participate, answer inquiries, and present any further evidence or analysis requested by City. Should City take no action on the Claim within forty-five (45) days (if the Claim is for less than $50,000) or within sixty (60) days (if the Claim is for $50,000 or more) of submittal, it shall be deemed denied.
2. Notwithstanding and pending the resolution of any Claim or dispute, Contractor shall diligently perform the disputed work to final completion in accordance with the City’s direction.
3. After their submittal, claims less than $375,000 shall also be subject to Section 20104 of the Local Agency Public Construction Act.
(e) Compliance
1. The provisions of this Section 3.3 constitute a non-judicial claim settlement procedure that, pursuant to California Government Code Section 930.2, shall constitute a condition precedent to the submittal of a valid claim under the California Government Code. Any Government Code claims alleging disputed work must affirmatively indicate prior compliance with this Section 3.3. In accordance with Richmond Municipal Code Section 1.10.010(b), all Government Code claims must be presented no later than the 100th day after the earlier of (i) the date the City actively or passively denied the Claim, or (ii) substantial completion or termination of the contract.
2. Failure to submit and administer Claims as required in Section 3.3 shall waive Contractor’s right to compensation for any disputed work not included in a timely Claim. Disputes not raised in a timely protest and timely Claim submitted under this Section 3.3 may not be asserted in any subsequent Government Code claim, administrative hearing, or civil action.
219
CONTRACT

The indemnification obligations of Contractor and its subcontractors shall extend to Claims asserted after termination of this Agreement for whatever reason. (b) In Claims against any person or entity indemnified under Section 3.4(a) above by an employee of Contractor or its subcontractors, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any one of them or anyone for whose acts one of them may be liable, the indemnification obligation under Section 3.4(a) above shall not be limited by a limitation on amount or type of damages, compensation of benefits payable under workers' compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts.

Upon award of the construction contract, the prime contractor and all subcontractors must use the system for their monthly progress payment status reports, fringe benefits statements, weekly certified payroll reports and non-performance reports. Prime Contractors are also responsible for entering all of the contract/sub-contract amounts for the project. The City will provide training for contractors. Contractors’ payroll staff will be required to attend an hour-long training at a City designated location. It is mandatory that contractors' and sub-contractors’ payroll coordinators or payroll administrators attend the training session.
Full compensation for conforming to the provisions in section “Payroll Records,” shall be considered as included in the contract prices paid for various items of work involved and additional compensation will be allowed therefor.

10-1.12 Full Depth Base Repair (8-inch Depth)
A. Description. This work shall consist of the removal of existing pavement materials, and any underlying materials, to the depth indicated on the Plans, and replacement with compacted hot-mix asphalt concrete (HMA) at locations marked in the field and as directed by the Engineer. The replacement section is HMA throughout for the entire depth of the repair; no aggregate base is included in the repair section except where over-excavation of unsuitable subgrade material. Over-excavation shall be in accordance with Section 10-
1.13. The minimum width of base repairs shall be four (4) feet. The base repair dimensions indicated on the Plans are approximate. Actual quantities may be greater or less than the quantities shown on the bid schedule, which reflects a 10% contingency. Changes in quantities, either up or down, will not result in a change of the unit price entered in the Bid Schedule.
Base repair depths are measured and shall be completed from the existing surface street grade.
After base repairs have been marked in the field, the Contractor shall arrange for and conduct a field review of each base repair location with the Engineer. During the field review, the Engineer and Contractor shall record the agreed upon dimensions for each base repair at each location. The size of the base repairs shall then not vary from what is recorded during the field review unless first agreed to in writing by the Engineer. Additional compensation shall not be allowed for base repairs in excess of the sizes agreed to during the field review.
The Contractor shall remove existing asphalt concrete pavement and any underlying materials either by milling or by saw-cutting with a power-driven saw.

Rubble from the excavation shall be removed immediately.
251
10-1 GENERAL
101
Further excavation (over-excavation) of unsuitable subgrade material below the bottom of the directed repair depth may be required by soil conditions (i.e. yielding subgrade) as determined by the Engineer. Over-excavation of unsuitable subgrade materials shall be performed as part of Bid Item: “Subgrade Over-Excavation (Revocable Bid Item)”.
Increases in repair depth directed by the Engineer are not over-excavation and shall be performed under the incremental depth increase Bid Items as specified in this Section 10-
1.12. At some base repair locations, the existing asphalt concrete may extend deeper than the 8-inch repair depth. Where the 8-inch removal does not extend through the full depth of the existing asphalt concrete, the Engineer may direct that the repair be deepened by 2 inches (from 8 inches to 10 inches) or by 4 inches (from 8 inches to 12 inches). Depth increases shall be performed under Bid Items “Increase Base Repair Depth by 2” from 8” to 10” (Incremental) (Revocable Bid Item)” and “Increase Base Repair Depth by 4” from 8” to 12” (Incremental) (Revocable Bid Item)”, respectively, and only where and to the extent directed in writing by the Engineer.
Where existing asphalt concrete remains at the bottom of the 8-inch excavation, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer before placing HMA in the affected area. Each directed depth increase by the Engineer will be confirmed in writing, by field directive or daily report entry, noting the location and the directed depth.
If the Engineer does not direct a depth increase, the 8-inch repair depth shall be acceptable and complete, and any existing asphalt concrete remaining below the bottom of the 8-inch excavation shall remain in place. The Contractor shall have no obligation to deepen, and no right to deepen or to receive compensation from the City for deepening, any repair area absent the Engineer’s written direction.
Where a repair area has been deepened to 12 inches and existing asphalt concrete still remains at the bottom of the excavation, the remaining asphalt concrete shall remain in place unless the Engineer directs otherwise. Deepening beyond 12 inches, if directed by the Engineer, is not included in the incremental depth increase Bid Items and will be paid for as extra work as provided in the Contract Documents.
Repair areas deepened at the direction of the Engineer shall be backfilled with HMA for the full depth of the repair, including the incremental depth. The HMA type, aggregate gradation, asphalt binder, tack coat, maximum lift thickness, compaction, and acceptance requirements specified in this Section 10-1.12 for the 8-inch base repair shall apply to the full depth of deepened repairs. Pavement repairs deepened to 10 inches or 12 inches shall be made using four (4) lifts, conforming to the maximum individual lift thickness of three (3) inches, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.
Existing asphalt concrete surfacing and underlying base materials removed from vehicular travel lanes during a work period shall be replaced with permanent HMA before the lane is re-opened to public traffic.
Surfacing and base materials shall be removed without damage to adjacent asphalt surfacing that is to remain in place. Damage to pavement shall be removed and replaced with new HMA if ordered by the Engineer. Removing and replacing pavement damaged outside the limits of pavement to be replaced shall be at the Contractor’s sole expense 252

The finished surface of the remaining material shall not extend above the grade established by the Engineer.
Base repair areas that are low as a result of excavation beyond the required depth shall be filled with HMA at the Contractor’s expense. HMA shall be Type A and be produced at a central mixing plant. The aggregate shall conform to the 3/4-inch aggregate gradation as specified in Section 39-2.02B(4)(b), “Aggregate Gradations,” of the State Specifications.
Asphalt binder to be mixed with the aggregate shall conform to the provisions of Section 92, “Asphalt Binders,” of the State Specifications and shall be paving asphalt PG 64-10, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.
The maximum thickness of the individual HMA lift shall be three (3) inches as shown on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer. HMA shall be placed in lifts conforming to Section 39-2.02C of the State Specifications. The HMA shall be placed and compacted to ninetytwo to ninety-seven percent (92% to 97%) of theoretical maximum density and shall meet the elevation of the existing pavement contour. Areas inaccessible to rollers shall be compacted by use of a power compactor of the high impact, vibra-plate type, capable of attaining the same compaction as the rolled areas.
Pavement repairs shall be made using three lifts for 8” base repairs. The second and third lifts of HMA shall not be placed until the underlying layer is 160°F or less, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. Failure to meet these requirements shall be cause for rejection of the work.
The Contractor shall apply a tack coat to the vertical faces of the existing asphalt and between asphalt lifts. Tack coat shall be SS-1h per Section 39-2.01C(3)(f), “Tack Coat,” of the State Specifications.
The Contractor shall not perform pavement repair when the weather is rainy, foggy or when the atmospheric temperature is below 50°F. It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility, based on weather predictions, to schedule pavement repair to avoid placing HMA in the rain or fog. If the day’s operations are canceled because of predicted rain or fog, a non-working day will be allowed. HMA shall not be placed on any surface which contains ponded water or excessive moisture in the opinion of the Engineer. If paving operations are in progress and rain or fog forces a stoppage of work, loaded trucks in transit shall return to the plant and no compensation will be allowed for unused materials. 253
10-1 GENERAL
103
The Contractor shall furnish and use canvas tarpaulins to cover all loads of HMA from the time that the mixture is loaded until it is discharged from the delivery vehicle. Failure to cover HMA loads shall be grounds for rejection of the load.
Batch data and load slips shall be submitted to the Engineer as HMA is delivered to the project site to allow verification of materials and use. Failure to do so may result in nonpayment for disputed loads.
All excavations for base repairs shall be backfilled to the existing pavement level in the same working period during which the excavation is performed, and prior to opening the full roadway to public traffic. Lane closures shall remain in full force until such time as the repair area has been finished to the existing pavement level.
If necessary, due to unforeseen occurrences, excavations shall be temporarily filled to the existing pavement level at the end of the working period, and subsequently re-excavated at the Contractor’s expense. Temporarily filled excavations shall have a minimum twoinch thick asphalt concrete surface or covered with a steel trench plate held in place with temporary HMA tapers not less than (10) inches long all along the plate edges on all sides.
B. Measurement and Payment. Full Depth Base Repair (8” Depth) shall be measured on a Square Foot basis of new asphalt installed. The contract price paid per square foot for “Full Depth Base Repair (8” Depth)” shall include full compensation for furnishing all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals, and for doing all the work involved in Base Repair-HMA Type A, including, but not limited to, removal and disposal of existing structural section and furnishing and placing HMA, tack coat, material compaction, complete in place, as shown on the plans, as specified in these Technical Provisions, and as directed by the Engineer, and no additional compensation shall be provided. The City reserves the right to make additions or deletions to the original quantity amount, and/or to the streets or number of streets, at the price bid per square foot. “Increase Base Repair Depth by 2” from 8” to 10” (Incremental) (Revocable Bid Item)” and “Increase Base Repair Depth by 4” from 8” to 12” (Incremental) (Revocable Bid Item)” will be measured on a square foot basis of the area actually directed in writing by the Engineer to be deepened, constructed, and accepted, as measured in the field.
Areas deepened to 10 inches will be paid for under both “Full Depth Base Repair (8” Depth)” and “Increase Base Repair Depth by 2” from 8” to 10” (Incremental) (Revocable Bid Item)”. Areas deepened to 12 inches will be paid for under both “Full Depth Base Repair (8” Depth)” and “Increase Base Repair Depth by 4” from 8” to 12” (Incremental) (Revocable Bid Item)”. The contract unit price paid per square foot for each incremental item shall constitute full compensation only for the additional work attributable to the increased depth, including, but not limited to, additional removal and disposal of existing pavement and underlying materials; re-sawcutting and trimming of vertical faces as necessary; additional tack coat on vertical faces and between lifts; preparation and compaction of the material remaining in place at the bottom of the deepened excavation; furnishing, placing, and compacting the additional HMA; and all other incidentals attributable to the additional depth, and no additional compensation will be allowed therefor.

104
“Increase Base Repair Depth by 4” from 8” to 12” (Incremental) (Revocable Bid Item)” will be paid instead of, and not in addition to, “Increase Base Repair Depth by 2” from 8” to 10” (Incremental) (Revocable Bid Item)”; its contract unit price shall include the full four (4) inches of additional depth. No area will be measured or paid for under both incremental items.
The Bid Schedule quantities for the incremental depth increase items represent areas included within, and not in addition to, the quantity shown for “Full Depth Base Repair (8” Depth)”; they do not represent additional repair area. The quantities shown for the incremental items are estimates given for the comparison of bids only; the actual quantity of each item may range from zero to substantially more than the estimated quantity, and no adjustment will be made to any contract unit price by reason of any such increase or decrease, in accordance with Section 5-1.06, “Increases and Decreases in Work,” of these Special Provisions.
Depth increases performed without the prior written direction of the Engineer will not be measured or paid for. Excavation below the directed repair depth that has not been directed by the Engineer, and the additional HMA required to backfill such unauthorized depth, shall be at the Contractor’s expense.
Over-excavation of unsuitable subgrade material below the bottom of the directed repair depth will be measured and paid for separately under “Subgrade Over-Excavation (Revocable Bid Item)” as provided in Section 10-1.13. In no case will the same material be measured or paid for under both an incremental depth increase item and “Subgrade Over-Excavation (Revocable Bid Item)”.
“Increase Base Repair Depth by 2” from 8” to 10” (Incremental) (Revocable Bid Item)” and “Increase Base Repair Depth by 4” from 8” to 12” (Incremental) (Revocable Bid Item)” are Revocable Bid Items. The City may, at its sole discretion, delete any Revocable Bid Item in whole or in part at any time without cause. Deletion of a Revocable Bid Item, in whole or in part, shall not entitle the Contractor to any adjustment of the contract unit price of any other bid item, nor to any compensation for anticipated profit, unabsorbed overhead, or any other costs associated with the deleted work. The contract unit prices for the incremental items shall apply to any quantity of work actually performed, including zero.
The provisions in Sections 4-1.05, “Changes and Extra Work,” and 9-1.06 of the Standard Specifications shall not apply to the Revocable Bid Items. 10-1.13 Subgrade Over-Excavation (Revocable Bid Item)
A. Description. If the Contractor is unable to achieve the specified compaction of 95% of maximum dry density at base repair areas, the material will be deemed as unsuitable subgrade material and the Contractor shall notify the Engineer. The Engineer will determine whether over-excavation is necessary.
When encountered during construction, unsuitable subgrade material shall be overexcavated to a depth of six (6) inches and replaced with Class 2 Aggregate Base underlain by (Tensar Interax NX850 Geogrid or approved equivalent). Aggregate base shall comply to the requirements in Section 26-1.02B Class 2 Aggregate Base. Prior to replacing the void with aggregate base, the Subgrade and/or base materials shall be compacted with 255
10-1 GENERAL

roller type equipment to achieve a firm and non-yielding pavement surface that is suitable to be backfilled with compacted aggregate base and paved. Care should be taken by the Contractor to not overwork subgrade and/or base material that result in pumping and yielding of subgrade and/or base materials. The Engineer and/or approved representative will approve the subgrade prior to paving operations.
As requested by the City Engineer, to approve the subgrade, it may be required to be proof rolled by the Contractor with a fully loaded water truck, or similar, in the presence of a City representative. Areas that pump or yield under truck tire loading will be delineated in the field with marking paint as unsuitable material and then over-excavated as described below. In areas of removal upon approval by the Engineer, the Contractor shall install a geogrid (Tensar Interax NX850 Geogrid or approved equivalent). The aggregate base shall then be moisture conditioned, placed in lifts not to exceed six (6) inches and compacted to ninety-five percent (95%) relative compaction.
Over-excavation of unsuitable subgrade material may encounter asphalt pavement, base material and native material. The material to be excavated may contain reinforcing fabric and/or other typical constituents of asphalt concrete by-products and/or any other naturally occurred deleterious substances encountered with roadway construction. The City makes no guarantee that the material excavated will be reusable, recyclable or disposable to any disposal site designated by the Contractor. No additional compensation shall be allowed to the Contractor if the over-excavated material is not reusable, recyclable, or is required to be disposed of at a licensed disposal facility. Any testing, if required by the disposal site, shall be arranged and paid for by the Contractor.

Upon satisfactory completion of the contract, the securities shall be returned to the Contractor.
2. Alternatively, the Contractor may request and the City shall make payment of retentions earned directly to the escrow agent at the expense of the Contractor.

ESCROW AGREEMENT FOR SECURITY DEPOSITS IN LIEU OF RETENTION This Escrow Agreement is made and entered into by and between _________________________________________________ whose address is ________________________________ hereinafter called "Owner," ___________ whose address is ________________________________ hereinafter called "Contractor" and ___________ whose address is ________________________________ hereinafter called "Escrow Agent."
For the consideration hereinafter set forth, the Owner, Contractor, and Escrow Agent agree as follows:

Alternatively, on written request of the Contractor, the Owner 273
CONTRACT
54 shall make payments of the retention earnings directly to the Escrow Agent. When the Contractor deposits the securities as a substitute for Contract earnings, the Escrow Agent shall notify the Owner within 10 days of the deposit. The market value of the securities at the time of the substitution shall be at least equal to the cash amount then required to be withheld as retention under the terms of the Contract between the Owner and Contractor. Securities shall be held in the name of ____, and shall designate the Contractor as the beneficial owner. (2) The Owner shall make progress payments to the Contractor for those funds which otherwise would be withheld from progress payments pursuant to the Contract provisions, provided that the Escrow Agent holds securities in the form and amount specified above. (3) When the Owner makes payment of retentions earned directly to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall hold them for the benefit of the Contractor until the time that the escrow created under this contract is terminated. The Contractor may direct the investment of the payments into securities. All terms and conditions of this agreement and the rights and responsibilities of the parties shall be equally applicable and binding when the Owner pays the Escrow Agent directly.
(4) Contractor shall be responsible for paying all fees for the expenses incurred by Escrow Agent in administering the Escrow Account and all expenses of the Owner. These expenses and payment terms shall be determined by the Owner, Contractor, and Escrow Agent. (5) The interest earned on the securities or the money market accounts held in escrow and all interest earned on that interest shall be for the sole account of Contractor and shall be subject to withdrawal by Contractor at any time and from time to time without notice to the Owner .
(6) Contractor shall have the right to withdraw all or any part of the principal in the Escrow Account only by written notice to Escrow Agent accompanied by written authorization from the Owner to the Escrow Agent that Owner consents to the withdrawal of the amount sought to be withdrawn by Contractor.
(7) The Owner shall have a right to draw upon the securities in the event of default by the Contractor. Upon seven days' written notice to the Escrow Agent from the Owner of the default, the Escrow Agent shall immediately convert the securities to cash and shall distribute the cash as instructed by the Owner.
(8) Upon receipt of written notification from the Owner certifying that the Contract is final and complete, and that the Contractor has complied with all requirements and procedures applicable to the Contract, Escrow Agent shall release to Contractor all securities and interest on deposit less escrow fees and charges of the Escrow Account. The escrow shall be closed immediately upon disbursement of all moneys and securities on deposit and payments of fees and charges. (9) Escrow Agent shall rely on the written notifications from the Owner and the Contractor pursuant to Sections (5) to (8), inclusive, of this Agreement and the Owner and Contractor shall hold Escrow Agent harmless from Escrow Agent's release and disbursement of the securities and interest as set forth above.
(10) The names of the persons who are authorized to give written notice or to receive written notice on behalf of the Owner and on behalf of Contractor in connection with the foregoing, and exemplars of their respective signatures are as follows:

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 2.1 Events of Default.
In addition the remedies set forth in Section 2.2, below, in the event of default the Department Head reserves the right to stop work immediately if any action or inaction by the Contractor or any subcontractor creates a risk of imminent harm to the public or property.
Each of the following shall constitute a "Default" by Contractor under this Agreement:
(a) Breach of Covenants. Failure by Contractor or any subcontractor to duly perform, comply with, or observe any of the conditions, terms, or covenants of any of the Contract Documents. The City shall give Contractor written notice of the breach and specify a time in which to cure the breach. If the Contractor cures the breach within the time specified in the notice or, if the breach cannot be cured in the time specified but the Contractor has diligently pursued measures to cure the breach and to keep the City informed of its progress, then the breach shall not constitute a default provided that the breach is cured within thirty (30) days from the date of the City’s last notice and demand to cure.
(b) Disregard of Laws. Disregard of laws, rules, regulations, directions or instructions of City by Contractor or any subcontractor with respect to the performance of work.
(c) Insolvency. A court having jurisdiction shall have made or entered any decree or order (i) adjudging Contractor to be bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of Contractor or seeking any arrangement for Contractor under the bankruptcy law or any other applicable debtor's relief law or statute of the United States or any state or other jurisdiction, (iii) appointing a receiver, trustee, liquidator, or assignee of Contractor in bankruptcy or insolvency or for any of their properties, (iv) directing the winding up or liquidation of Contractor if any such decree or order described in clauses (i) to (iv), inclusive, shall have continued unstayed or undischarged for a period of ninety (90) days; or (v) Contractor shall have admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they fall due or shall have voluntarily submitted to or filed a petition seeking any decree or order of the nature described in clauses (i) to (iv), inclusive.

Section 2.2 Remedies.
276
CONTRACT
57 The occurrence of any Default hereunder following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods will, either at the option of the City or automatically where so specified, relieve the City of any obligation to make or continue payments and shall give the City the right to proceed with any and all remedies set forth in the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the following:
(a) Specific Performance. The City shall have the right to mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity to require Contractor to perform its obligations and covenants under this Agreement or to enjoin acts on things which may be unlawful or in violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Right of Contest. Contractor shall have the right to contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy, or assessment the assertion of which would constitute a Default hereunder. Any such contest shall be prosecuted diligently and in a manner unprejudicial to the City or the rights of the City hereunder. (c) Remedies Cumulative. No right, power, or remedy given to the City by the terms of the Contract Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power, or remedy; and each and every such right, power, or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power, or remedy given to the City by the terms of any such instrument, or by any statute or otherwise against Contractor and any other person.
Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of the City to exercise any such rights and remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the City of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of such right or remedy, or any other right or remedy.
Section 2.3 Waiver of Damages.
Contractor, in having tendered the Proposal, shall be deemed to have waived any and all claims for damages because of termination of this Agreement for any reason. Contractor shall not be entitled to any lost profit in the event of termination.
ARTICLE III
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 3.1 Relationship of Parties.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or understood by any of the Parties, or by any third persons, as creating the relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, limited or general partnership, or joint venture between the City and Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors, and Contractor shall at all times be deemed an independent contractor and shall be wholly responsible for the manner in which it or its agents, or both, perform the services required of it by the terms of this Agreement.
Contractor has and retains the right to exercise full control of employment, direction, compensation, and discharge of all persons assisting in the performance of services under the Agreement. In regards to the construction of the Project, Contractor shall be solely responsible for all matters relating to payment of its employees, including compliance with Social Security, withholding, and all other laws and regulations governing such matters, and shall include requirements in each contract that subcontractors shall be solely responsible for similar matters 277
CONTRACT
58 relating to their employees. Contractor shall be solely responsible for its own acts and those of its agents and employees.
Section 3.2 Change Orders.
(a) Changes affecting the time of performance, unit pricing, or total contract price shall be set forth in a written Change Order that shall specify:
1. The work performed in connection with the change to be made;
2. The amount of the adjustment to the Payment Limit, if any, and the basis for compensation for the work ordered; which adjustment may be a negotiated lump sum amount, agreed unit price, or paid under Section 9-1.04 “Force Account” of the 2010 State of California Department of Transportation Standard Specifications; and
3. The amount of time to be adjusted in the schedule for performance, if any. (b) A Change Order will become effective when signed by the Department Head, or his or her representative, notwithstanding that Contractor has not signed it. A Change Order will become effective without Contractor’s signature, provided the Department Head or his or her representative so indicates by noting thereon “unilateral change order.” (c) All changes in any plans and specification approved by any authority with jurisdiction over the Project may also require addenda or change orders approved by that authority.
(d) Where the City requests, a performance bond rider covering the changed work must be executed and delivered to the City before proceeding with the changed work, or shortly in time thereafter.
(e) The Department Head or his or her representative has the authority to approve Change Orders with a cumulative dollar value of up to ten percent (10%) of the contract price.
Section 3.3 Claims By Contractor.
(a) No Third-Party Claims. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or justify any claim against the City by any person that Contractor may have employed or with whom Contractor may have contracted relative to the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment, or the furnishing or the performance of any work or services with respect to the construction of the Project, and Contractor shall include similar requirements in any contracts entered into for the construction of the Project.
(b) Obligation to File Claims for Disputed Work. Should it appear to the Contractor that the work to be performed or any of the matters relative to the Contract Documents are not satisfactorily detailed or explained therein, or should any questions arise as to the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents, or should any dispute arise regarding the true value of any work performed, work omitted, extra work that the Contractor may be required to perform, time extensions, payment to the Contractor during performance of the work, construction of the Project, and/or compliance with procedures or standards set forth in the Contract Documents, or should Contractor otherwise seek extra time or compensation FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, then Contractor shall first follow the procedures set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 3.2, “Change Orders.” If a dispute remains, then Contractor shall give written notice to the City that expressly invokes this Section 3.3 and requests a 278
CONTRACT
59 determination of the issue. City shall decide the issue in writing within 15 days; City’s decision shall be final and the limitations period for the filing of a claim shall commence upon the City’s issuance of its decision. If Contractor disagrees with City’s decision, or if Contractor contends that City failed to provide a timely decision, then Contractor’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY is to file a written claim setting forth Contractor’s position as required herein. (c) Form and Contents of Claim. The Claim shall be submitted to the City within thirty (30) days of receiving the City’s written decision regarding the dispute, or the date the Contractor contends such decision was due, and in no event later than the date of final payment. Contractor’s written claim must identify itself as a “Claim” under this Section 3.3 and must include the following: (1) a narrative of pertinent events; (2) citation to contract provisions; (3) theory of entitlement; (4) complete pricing of all cost impacts; (5) a time impact analysis of all time delays that shows actual time impact on the critical path; (6) documentation supporting items 1 – 5; and (7) verification under penalty of perjury of the claim’s accuracy. The Claim shall be priced like a Change Order, and must be updated every thirty (30) days as to cost and entitlement if it remains a continuing Claim. Routine contract materials, for example, correspondence, RFI, Change Order requests, or payment requests shall not constitute a Claim.
Contractor shall bear all costs incurred in preparation, submittal, and administration of a Claim. (d) Administration After Claim Submittal.
1. City may render a final decision based solely on the materials submitted in support of the Claim or may in its sole discretion conduct an administrative hearing on the Claim, in which case Contractor shall appear, participate, answer inquiries, and present any further evidence or analysis requested by City. Should City take no action on the Claim within forty-five (45) days (if the Claim is for less than $50,000) or within sixty (60) days (if the Claim is for $50,000 or more) of submittal, it shall be deemed denied.
2. Notwithstanding and pending the resolution of any Claim or dispute, Contractor shall diligently perform the disputed work to final completion in accordance with the City’s direction.
3. After their submittal, claims less than $375,000 shall also be subject to Section 20104 of the Local Agency Public Construction Act.
(e) Compliance
1. The provisions of this Section 3.3 constitute a non-judicial claim settlement procedure that, pursuant to California Government Code Section 930.2, shall constitute a condition precedent to the submittal of a valid claim under the California Government Code. Any Government Code claims alleging disputed work must affirmatively indicate prior compliance with this Section 3.3. In accordance with Richmond Municipal Code Section 1.10.010(b), all Government Code claims must be presented no later than the 100th day after the earlier of (i) the date the City actively or passively denied the Claim, or (ii) substantial completion or termination of the contract.
2. Failure to submit and administer Claims as required in Section 3.3 shall waive Contractor’s right to compensation for any disputed work not included in a timely Claim. Disputes not raised in a timely protest and timely Claim submitted under this Section 3.3 may not be asserted in any subsequent Government Code claim, administrative hearing, or civil action.
3. City shall not be deemed to waive any provision under this Section 3.3 if, at City’s sole discretion, a Claim is administered in a manner not in accord with this 279
CONTRACT
60 Section 3.3. Waivers or modifications of this Section 3.3 may only be made by signed Change Order approved as to form by legal counsel for both City and Contractor. Oral or implied modifications shall be of no force or effect.
Section 3.4 Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permissible by law, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, and require its subcontractors to defend, indemnify and hold harmless, the City, its elected and appointed officials, and all of its employees, volunteers and agents (the "Indemnified Parties"), from all liability, penalties, costs, losses, damages, expenses, causes of action, claims or judgments, including attorney's fees and other defense costs (collectively, "Claims"), resulting from injury to or death sustained by any person (including Contractor’s or any subcontractors' employees), or damage to property of any kind, or any other injury or damage whatsoever, which Claims arise out of or are in any way connected with the construction of the Project, regardless of Contractor's fault or negligence; provided, however, that Contractor's, and Contractor's subcontractors' indemnity obligations hereunder shall not apply to the extent any Claims are caused by the active negligence or willful act or omission of an Indemnified Party.
The indemnification obligations of Contractor and its subcontractors shall extend to Claims asserted after termination of this Agreement for whatever reason. (b) In Claims against any person or entity indemnified under Section 3.4(a) above by an employee of Contractor or its subcontractors, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any one of them or anyone for whose acts one of them may be liable, the indemnification obligation under Section 3.4(a) above shall not be limited by a limitation on amount or type of damages, compensation of benefits payable under workers' compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts.
Section 3.5 Non-Liability of City Officials, Employees and Agents.
No member, official, employee or agent of the City shall be personally liable to Contractor in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to Contractor or its successor or on any obligation under the terms of this Agreement.

Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability, 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.

SAMPLE Endorsements can be found at

Umbrella/Excess Liability Policies

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.

City of Richmond - Insurance Requirements –
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Type 1 – Page 4 of 4
Revised: January 2013
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.
