Subject:

RATIFICATION OF EMERGENCY PURCHASES AND CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS WITH SANCON TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND XYLEM DEWATERING SOLUTIONS, INC. FOR CYPRUS SHORE SEWER LINING, PROJECT NO. 12209.

Fiscal Impact:

Yes. An estimated $127,000 is recommended for emergency sewer lining and bypass pumping. To fund the expenditure, a supplemental appropriation of $127,000 is recommended from the Sewer Fund Depreciation Reserve to Account No. 054-476-45300-000-12209. This emergency expenditure will reduce available fund balance to approximately $2,664,637 in the Sewer Depreciation Fund.

Expenditures to date from the Sewer Depreciation Fund, including this expenditure, for pump station operation, bypass equipment, pumps, generators, fuel and lining are approximately $1,660,627.

Additional expenditures are anticipated for temporary sewer pump station operation in the amount of $120,000 per month until it is relocated in a permanent location. Emergency expenditures may be needed in the near future to relocate the forcemain above ground if movement continues in the ancient landslide.

Summary:

To protect public health and safety due to recent movement of the ancient landslide, staff recommends the City Council ratify the emergency construction contracts approved by the City Manager with Sancon Technologies, Inc. and Xylem Dewatering Solutions, Inc. and supplemental appropriation of funds.

Background:

When the Cyprus community was developed, the collection system, a sewer pump station serving approximately 400 homes, and a portion of the storm drain system was dedicated to and accepted by the City. Due to coastal bluff movement adjacent to the Cyprus Shore Clubhouse near the intersection of Calle Ariana and Avenue de las Palmeras and to protect public safety and property, a temporary emergency sewer bypass was installed by City staff on September 20, 2021 and is currently operated by O’Connell Engineering and Construction. In addition, a bypass of the storm drain in Avenue de las Palmeras was constructed to keep storm water out of the coastal bluff landslide area.

Discussion:

Due to recent movement of the ancient landslide corresponding to slope stabilization construction by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for protection of the railroad, City construction of the relocation of the sewer pump station within the ancient landslide has been placed on hold along with final design for the storm drain. In addition, due to the movement there is concern for failure of CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE Page 1 of 3 Printed on 12/16/2022

Meeting Date: 12/20/2022 Agenda Item: G.
with final design for the storm drain. In addition, due to the movement there is concern for failure of the public water and sewer systems within the ancient landslide area. To minimize disruption to the residents, prevent a sewer spill, and maintain service within the community, lining of the sewer line was completed and evaluations of alternate sewer pump station operation, above ground sewer forcemain bypass pipeline, and addition sewer lining are being completed.

The first phase of the mitigation effort due to the recent movement is to protect the existing gravity sewer line at the interface of the ancient landslide within Calle Ariana north of Avenue de las Palmeras. The City Manager authorized construction contracts to install a flexible liner within the sewer line. Unfortunately, the existing clay sewer line is brittle and is subject to cracking and potential failure if extended movement occurs. The liner was installed without excavation within the existing clay sewer line (host pipe) and will become the new pipeline which will not be subject to leaks prior to failure due to the flexibility of the material. To prevent a sewer system failure, the City Manager has the authority to approve emergency contracts and purchases when there is a need to protect public health and safety per Section 3.40.070 of the City of San Clemente Municipal Code.

The estimated cost for liner installation is shown below.

Sewer Lining
Design and Administration $ 15,000
Bypass Pumping (Xylem) 18,850
Liner Installation (Sancon) 80,940
Contingency 12,210
Total $ 127,000
Plan and Policy Consistency:

The approval is consistent with the following General Plan Goals and Policies:
• Goal: Maintain and improve a comprehensive system of potable water supply, storage and distribution, and wastewater treatment, reclamation, and reuse to meet daily and emergency needs in San Clemente.
• Policy: PSFU-5.10. Wastewater System. We provide and maintain a system of wastewater collection and treatment facilities to adequately convey and treat wastewater generated in the City of San Clemente service area.

Council Strategy:

The approval is consistent with Council Strategy 3 - Update and maintain Infrastructure that reflects best available technology and service - in that Utilities is providing uninterrupted sewer and storm drainage service to approximately 400 homes within the Cyprus Shore community with temporary solutions while more permanent facilities are designed and constructed.

Recommended Actions:

Staff Recommendation
Staff Recommends that the City Council:

1. Make a finding that an emergency exists due to the potential failure of an existing sewer line and CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE Page 2 of 3 Printed on 12/16/2022
powered by Legistar™198
Meeting Date: 12/20/2022 Agenda Item: G.
that the situation requires immediate action to prevent or mitigate impairment to property and public services, that might otherwise occur if required to incur delays attributed to the typical engineering design and public competitive bidding process.

2. Declare that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public funds to safeguard public health.

3. Approve a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $127,000 to Account Number 054-476- 45300-000-12209 from the Sewer Fund Depreciation Reserve.

4. Ratify a Construction Contract with Sancon Technologies, Inc. for $80,940, for Cyprus Shore Emergency Sewer Lining, Project No 12209.

5. Ratify a Construction Contract with Xylem Dewatering Solutions, Inc. on a time and materials basis for up to $18,850 for Cyprus Shore Emergency Sewer Lining, Project No 12209.

The failure by the City to deduct any of these sums from a progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of the City’s right to such sums.

3.7.6 Substitutions for Contract Retentions. In accordance with California Public Contract Code Section 22300, the City will permit the substitution of securities for any monies withheld by the City to ensure performance under the Contract. At the request and expense of Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the City, or with a state or federally chartered bank in California as the escrow agent, and thereafter the City shall then pay such monies to Contractor as they come due. Upon satisfactory completion of the Contract, the securities shall be returned to Contractor. For purposes of this Section and Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code, the term “satisfactory completion of the contract” shall mean the time the City has issued written final acceptance of the Work and filed a Notice of Completion as required by law and provisions of this Contract. Contractor shall be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for monies withheld and shall receive any interest thereon. The escrow agreement used for the purposes of this Section shall be in the form provided by the City.

3.7.7 Title to Work. As security for partial, progress, or other payments, title to Work for which such payments are made shall pass to the City at the time of payment. To the extent that title has not previously been vested in the City by reason of payments, full title shall pass to the City at delivery of the Work at the destination and time specified in this Contract. Such transferred title shall in each case be good, free and clear from any and all security interests, liens, or other encumbrances. Contractor promises and agrees that it will not pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber the items in any manner that would result in any lien, security interest, charge, or claim upon or against said items. Such transfer of title shall not imply acceptance by the City, nor relieve Contractor from the responsibility to strictly comply with the Contract, and shall not relieve Contractor of responsibility for any loss of or damage to items. 205
55452.01510\32977834.2
6 3.7.8 Labor and Material Releases. Contractor shall furnish City with labor and material releases from all subcontractors performing work on, or furnishing materials for, the Work governed by this Contract prior to final payment by City.

3.7.9 Prevailing Wages. Contractor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., and 1770 et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000 et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance” projects. Since the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and since the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Contract upon request. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at Contractor’s principal place of business and at the project site. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

3.7.10 Apprenticeable Crafts. When Contractor employs workmen in an apprenticeable craft or trade, Contractor shall comply with the provisions of Section 1777.5 of the California Labor Code with respect to the employment of properly registered apprentices upon public works. The primary responsibility for compliance with said section for all apprenticeable occupations shall be with Contractor. The Contractor or any subcontractor that is determined by the Labor Commissioner to have knowingly violated Section 1777.5 shall forfeit as a civil penalty an amount not exceeding $100 for each full calendar day of noncompliance, or such greater amount as provided by law.

3.7.11 Hours of Work. Contractor is advised that eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work. Pursuant to Section 1813 of the California Labor Code, Contractor shall forfeit a penalty of $25.00 per worker for each day that each worker is permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week, except when payment for overtime is made at not less than one and one-half (1-1/2) times the basic rate for that worker.

3.7.12 Payroll Records. Contractor and each subcontractor shall keep an accurate payroll record, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by him or her in connection with the public work. The payroll records shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of Contractor in the manner provided in Labor Code section 1776. In the event of noncompliance with the requirements of this section, Contractor shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice specifying in what respects such Contractor must comply with this section. Should noncompliance still be evident after such 10-day period, Contractor shall, as a penalty to City, forfeit not more than $100.00 for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated.

55452.01510\32977834.2
7 determined by the Labor Commissioner. Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, such penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. The responsibility for compliance with this section is on Contractor.

The requirement to submit certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner under Labor Code section 1771.4 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4.

Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor that affect Contractor’s performance of Work, including any delay, shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Contractor caused delay subject to any applicable liquidated damages and shall not be compensable by the City.

Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor.

THAT WHEREAS, the City of San Clemente (hereinafter referred to as “City”) has awarded to ____________________, (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) _______________________ an agreement for ______________________________ (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”).

WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in the Contract Documents for the Project dated ________________, (hereinafter referred to as “Contract Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, we, _______________, the undersigned Contractor and _____________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized and duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and firmly bound unto the City in the sum of ___________________________ DOLLARS, ($____________), said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of the Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.

As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship, Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of Surety hereunder shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herein shall limit the City’s rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law or equity, including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.

Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or shall promptly, at the City’s option:

The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3) Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local, California and federal law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.

Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any contractor or subcontractor which may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.

Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default, notifies Surety of the City’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the Project.

The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project, including but not limited to the provisions of sections 2819 and 2845 of the California Civil Code.

PERFORMANCE BOND
KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS:

THAT WHEREAS, the City of San Clemente (hereinafter referred to as “City”) has awarded to ____________________, (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) _______________________ an agreement for ______________________________ (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”).

WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in the Contract Documents for the Project dated ________________, (hereinafter referred to as “Contract Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, we, _______________, the undersigned Contractor and _____________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized and duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and firmly bound unto the City in the sum of ___________________________ DOLLARS, ($____________), said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of the Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.

THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its officers and agents, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.

As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship, Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of Surety hereunder shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herein shall limit the City’s rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law or equity, including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.

Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or shall promptly, at the City’s option:
267
55452.01510\32977834.2

(1) Take over and complete the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents; or
(2) Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, arrange for a Contract between such bidder, the Surety and the City, and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3) Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local, California and federal law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.

Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any contractor or subcontractor which may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.

Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default, notifies Surety of the City’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the Project.

The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project, including but not limited to the provisions of sections 2819 and 2845 of the California Civil Code.

- 37 -
Additional Insured Endorsements shall not (1) be restricted to "ongoing operations"; (2) exclude "contractual liability"; (3) restrict coverage to "sole" liability of Contractor; or (4) contain any other exclusions contrary to the terms of purposes of this Contract.

3.13.5 Waiver of Subrogation. All policies of Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability insurance (if required) shall contain or be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers or shall specifically allow Contractor or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss.

3.13.6 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductible or self-insured retention in excess of $5,000 must be approved in writing by the City and shall protect the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers in the same manner and to the same extent as they would have been protected had the policy or policies not contained a deductible or self-insured retention.

3.13.7 Evidence of Insurance. The Contractor, concurrently with the execution of the Contract, and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness thereof, shall deliver either certified copies of the required policies, or original certificates on forms approved by the City, together with 276
55452.01510\32977834.2
- 38 -
all endorsements affecting each policy. Required insurance policies shall not be in compliance if they include any limiting provision or endorsement that has not been submitted to the City for approval.

At least fifteen (15 days) prior to the expiration of any such policy, evidence of insurance showing that such insurance coverage has been renewed or extended shall be filed with the City. If such coverage is cancelled or reduced, and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with the City evidence of insurance showing that the required insurance has been reinstated or has been provided through another insurance company or companies.

3.13.8 Failure to Maintain Coverage. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Contract does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Contractor or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Contractor payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Contract, effective upon notice.

3.13.9 Acceptability of Insurers. Each such policy shall be from a company or companies with a current A.M.

APPROVE FIRST AMENDMENT TO PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT

WITH HMC ARCHITECTS FOR THE MARINE SAFETY HEADQUARTERS RELOCATION STUDY, PROJECT NO. 31501.

Fiscal Impact:

Yes. The contract increase of $35,000 is within the approved budget of $50,000 from the General Fund, CIP Project No. 31501.

Summary:

Staff recommends approval of the First Amendment to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement (Attachment 2) with HMC Architects for a contract amount increase of $35,000. The amendment includes as-needed coordination and to address comments from the Coastal Commission, which can be a lengthy process. Therefore, staff is also requesting that the contract term be extended to June 15, 2024.

Background:

The City Marine Safety headquarters is an integral part of the health, safety and welfare of the public and is responsible for providing ocean lifeguard services for the public beaches in San Clemente serving approximately 2.4 million visitors per year. The Division operates from the Marine Safety Headquarters Building, located on the beach just north of the Pier, on the west side of the railroad tracks, as shown on the Location Map, Attachment 1.

The existing building was constructed in 1968 and is subject to natural threats and damage resulting from storm events, sand erosion, and future rising sea levels. To extend the usefulness of the building, a partial rehabilitation was completed in October 2020. As part of this rehabilitation process, a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) was issued by the California Coastal Commission for a 10-year period through July 2029. The CDP requires the building to be replaced or relocated within the 10- year period and allows the City to apply for a one-time extension for up to 5-years contingent upon City’s progress toward replacement or relocation of the facility. The new building design will incorporate all the modern functional features and applicable building code requirements, including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

On June 1, 2021, the City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) to HMC Architects (HMC) to perform a feasibility study for the Marine Safety Building replacement and relocation (Attachment 3), to be compliant with the CDP’s condition. After collaboration and input from Marine Safety, Public Works and the Orange County Sheriff Department, HMC completed the feasibility study. In the feasibility study, three new building sites were proposed to include: 1) a location near the current site, west of the railroad tracks next to the beach trail; 2) a location entirely CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE Page 1 of 3 Printed on 12/15/2022

Meeting Date: 12/20/2022 Agenda Item: H.
location near the current site, west of the railroad tracks next to the beach trail; 2) a location entirely on top of the hill, next to the parking lot just east of the railroad tracks; and 3) a location to be a combination of the first and second options, with the main building on top of the hill and an auxiliary small structure for easy access to the beach during emergencies.

The City recently submitted the feasibility study to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) for an early review and discussion, and received some comments. Addressing these comments and providing additional information to the Coastal Commission was not part of the original scope of work.

Since HMC is familiar with the project and has the institutional knowledge, City staff recommends approval of the First Amendment to increase HMC’s contract in the amount of not-to-exceed $35,000 for as-needed coordination and to address comments from the Coastal Commission, and potential public outreach events (Attachment 2). An amount of $50,000 has been budgeted in the General Fund CIP FY2023 for this task.

Coordination and addressing comments from the California Coastal Commission could be a lengthy process; therefore, staff is requesting that the contract term be extended to June 15, 2024.

The project cost estimates for the new Marine Safety Headquarters is $15 million to $20 million, assuming 2029 costs. Per the current CDP provisions, the existing facility could be at the same location until 2034 (i.e. 10-year duration plus a 5-year extension). Funding sources for construction costs have not yet been identified in the City’s CIP program. Staff will be actively pursuing grants for the project and start budgeting funds in the upcoming years.

Plan and Policy Consistency:

The project is consistent with the following General Plan Goals and Policies:
· Urban Design - Maintenance Goal: Achieve a sustained level of maintenance and improvement of properties, buildings, landscaping and infrastructure that protects values, encourages additional public and private investments and promotes San Clemente’s high quality of life.
· Policy UD-4.06. Maintenance of Infrastructure and Public Realm. As resources allow, we maintain and where appropriate, improve infrastructure and the public realm, including landscaping, sidewalks, signage, furniture and other streetscape elements. · Safety Goal: Minimizing risk to safety and welfare of the public, the ultimate location of the new Marine Safety building will be at a location so that lifeguard staff have minimal response time, as needed.

The ultimate design of the new Marine Safety building will be consistent with the “City of San Clemente Seal Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment” study, dated, October 2019, and the “Draft City of San Clemente Coastal Resiliency” study, dated, October 2021.

Council Strategy:

The project is consistent with Council Strategy 3 - Update and maintain infrastructure that reflects best available technology and service - in that the projects maintains City infrastructure.

Any deductible or selfinsured retention greater than $5,000 must be approved in writing by the City and shall protect the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers in the same manner and to the same extent as they would have been protected had the policy or policies not contained a deductible or self-insured retention.

3.2.12.10 Failure to Maintain Coverage. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.

3.2.12.12 Enforcement of Agreement Provisions (non estoppel).

3.2.12.13 Requirements Not Limiting. Requirement of specific coverage or minimum limits contained in this Appendix are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits, or other requirement, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.

3.2.12.14 Insurance for Subconsultants.
