Exhibit "A"
Scope of Services
Consultant shall perform the following services (collectively, “Services”) for the City to the City’s satisfaction:
Task 1. Project Initiation and Setup
Surfline will participate in a kickoff meeting with the City and CETO. Surfline will install a new camera on the south side of pier in San Clemente which will observe the area to the south of the San Clemente pier between the pier and T-Street and allow for software derived counting of beach attendees in this area. Surfline will install, operate, maintain, and retain full ownership of the new camera for the duration of the project.
Task 2. Description of Methods
Data Capture and Processing:
Using the new camera, the project team will collect daily data on hourly attendance during daylight hours for 8 to 10 months, including the high season. Surfline’s camera placement will allow the team to estimate attendance at San Clemente’s main beach, both north and south of the pier, as well as at T-Street, which comprises the bulk of the City’s beach attendance.
Surfline will run its proprietary software on all footage captured by the new camera and four existing cameras for one year from the start of the project. The software will also be applied to historical footage from the existing cameras from the prior year, enabling the analysis to begin immediately. The existing cameras include:
Two cameras in the T-Street area: one with a close-up view of the surfing zone, and a second (T-Street Overview) with a wider perspective including both the beach and the surf zone One camera at San Clemente Pier, Northside, capturing surf activity just north of the pier One camera mounted on the pier, facing south toward the beach (T-Street Lefts) The software will generate hourly counts of surfers and beachgoers within each camera’s field of view. This attendance data will be accessible in near real-time via an online portal and can be downloaded for analysis.
Cellphone-Derived Visitation Data:
Surfline will work with CETO to develop customized polygons to match each camera’s field of view, ensuring alignment between video-based counts and cellphone-derived datasets. This integrated approach will allow the team to assess daily and hourly visitation, length of stay, and seasonal trends.
Task 3. Results and Analysis
Attendance Data Analysis:
Surfline will work with CETO to compile and analyze beach attendance data from the past year, and potentially from prior years if historical data is available. The primary goals of this analysis are:
To model daily attendance, including identification of “peak” days when beach capacity may be exceeded (for example, July 4), which can help inform management and resource allocation.
To model hourly attendance patterns during the day, along with analysis of where and how beach users access different areas of the beach at specific times.
To model the “visitor-shed,” including analysis of visitation from inland communities and the recreational activities visitors pursue while at San Clemente’s beaches. This analysis will incorporate CalEnviroScreen 4.0 and SB535-designated Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) to evaluate how many visitors originate from environmentally burdened or underserved areas. The project will also describe socioeconomic and demographic patterns using an environmental justice lens, including spatial overlays and interpretation of disparities in coastal access.
To model how surfing activity differs from other forms of beach recreation, including variations by time of day, location, and visitor demographics.
To estimate the economic impacts of beach visitation, including spending levels, sales tax revenue, and transient occupancy tax revenue, with disaggregation by beach area where feasible.
Sea Level Rise and Adaptation Considerations:
Surfline will support CETO on this task. The analysis will draw from existing SLR studies to evaluate what beach loss could mean for beach attendance, economic inputs, and the equitable distribution of recreational benefits.
Task 4. Draft and Final Report
Surfline will support CETO is preparing a comprehensive report summarizing findings and recommendations from the project. This report will be made available on the City of San Clemente’s website (City LCP Page).
The report will include guidance on how the State and local jurisdictions can improve the collection and management of beach attendance data. It will also address how the study’s findings can inform the City’s long-range planning for sea level rise.
Based on the results, the report may recommend strategies to increase coastal recreation opportunities, particularly for underserved communities. It may also suggest methods to maintain and update a reliable baseline for beach attendance over time. Additional recommendations may relate to coastal adaptation planning, improvements to public services, and the evaluation of potential beach nourishment projects.

EXHIBIT “C”
insurance requirements
Insurance.
Time for Compliance. Consultant shall not commence work under this Agreement until it has provided evidence satisfactory to the City that it has secured all insurance required under this section. In addition, Consultant shall not allow any subconsultant to commence work on any subcontract until it has provided evidence satisfactory to the City that the subconsultant has secured all insurance required under this section.
Types of Insurance Required. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement for work to be performed hereunder, and without limiting the indemnity provisions of the Agreement, the Consultant, in partial performance of its obligations under such Agreement, shall procure and maintain in full force and effect during the term of the Agreement the following policies of insurance. If the existing policies do not meet the insurance requirements set forth herein, Consultant agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the policies to do so.
Commercial General Liability: Commercial General Liability Insurance which affords coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office "occurrence" form CG 0001, or the exact equivalent, with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and no less than $2,000,000 in the general aggregate. Defense costs shall be paid in addition to the limits. The policy shall contain no endorsements or provisions (1) limiting coverage for contractual liability; (2) excluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another (cross-liability); or (3) containing any other exclusion(s) contrary to the terms or purposes of this Agreement.
Automobile Liability Insurance: Automobile Liability Insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office Form CA 0001 covering "Any Auto" (Symbol 1), or the exact equivalent, covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities with limits of not less than $1,000,000 combined limit for each occurrence.
Workers' Compensation: Workers' Compensation Insurance, as required by the State of California and Employer's Liability Insurance with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and disease.
Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions): Professional Liability insurance or Errors & Omissions insurance appropriate to Consultant’s profession with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per claim. Covered professional services shall specifically include all work to be performed under the Agreement and delete any exclusions that may potentially affect the work to be performed (for example, any exclusions relating to lead, asbestos, pollution, testing, underground storage tanks, laboratory analysis, soil work, etc.). If coverage is written on a claims-made basis, the retroactive date shall precede the effective date of the initial Agreement and continuous coverage will be maintained or an extended reporting period will be exercised for a period of at least three (3) years from termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Cyber Liability Insurance with limits not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence or claim, $2,000,000 aggregate. Coverage shall be sufficiently broad to respond to the duties and obligations as is undertaken by Contractor in this agreement and shall include, but not be limited to, claims involving security breach, system failure, data recovery, business interruption, cyber extortion, social engineering, infringement of intellectual property, including but not limited to infringement of copyright, trademark, trade dress, invasion of privacy violations, information theft, damage to or destruction of electronic information, release of private information, and alteration of electronic information. The policy shall provide coverage for breach response costs, regulatory fines and penalties as well as credit monitoring expenses.
Insurance Endorsements. Required insurance policies shall contain the following provisions, or Consultant shall provide endorsements on forms approved by the City to add the following provisions to the insurance policies:
Commercial General Liability:
Additional Insured: The City, its officials, officers, employees, shall be additional insureds with regard to liability and defense of suits or claims arising out of the performance of the Agreement.
Additional Insured Endorsements shall not (1) be restricted to "ongoing operations"; (2) exclude "contractual liability"; (3) restrict coverage to "sole" liability of Consultant; or (4) contain any other exclusions contrary to the terms or purposes of this Agreement. For all policies of Commercial General Liability insurance, Consultant shall provide endorsements in the form of ISO CG 20 10 10 01 (or endorsements providing the exact same coverage) to effectuate this requirement.
Cancellation: Required insurance policies shall not be canceled or the coverage reduced until a thirty (30) day written notice of cancellation has been served upon the City except ten (10) days shall be allowed for non-payment of premium.
Automobile Liability:
Cancellation: Required insurance policies shall not be canceled or the coverage reduced until a thirty (30) day written notice of cancellation has been served upon the City except ten (10) days shall be allowed for non-payment of premium.
Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions):
Cancellation: Required insurance policies shall not be canceled or the coverage reduced until a thirty (30) day written notice of cancellation has been served upon the City except ten (10) days shall be allowed for non-payment of premium.
Contractual Liability Exclusion Deleted: This insurance shall include contractual liability applicable to this Agreement. The policy must “pay on behalf of” the insured and include a provision establishing the insurer’s duty to defend.
Workers' Compensation:
Cancellation: Required insurance policies shall not be canceled or the coverage reduced until a thirty (30) day written notice of cancellation has been served upon the City except ten (10) days shall be allowed for non-payment of premium.
Primary and Non-Contributing Insurance. All policies of Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance shall be primary and any other insurance, deductible, or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers shall not contribute with this primary insurance. Policies shall contain or be endorsed to contain such provisions.
Waiver of Subrogation. All policies of Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductible or self-insured 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.
Evidence of Insurance. The Consultant, concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, 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 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. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy shall be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. 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, Consultant 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.
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.
Acceptability of Insurers. Each such policy shall be from a company or companies with a current A.M. Best's rating of no less than A- VII and authorized to transact business of insurance in the State of California, or otherwise allowed to place insurance through surplus line brokers under applicable provisions of the California Insurance Code or any federal law.
Enforcement of Agreement Provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligation on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements Not Limiting. If the Consultant carries insurance with coverages or limits beyond the minimum requirements set forth herein, those coverages and limits shall be available.
Insurance for Subconsultants. Consultant shall include all subconsultants engaged in any work for Consultant relating to this Agreement as additional insureds under the Consultant's policies, or the Consultant shall be responsible for causing subconsultants to purchase the appropriate insurance in compliance with the terms of these Insurance Requirements, including adding the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers as additional insureds to the subconsultant's policies. All policies of Commercial General Liability insurance provided by Consultant’s subconsultants performing work relating to this Agreement shall be endorsed to name the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers as additional insureds using endorsement form ISO CG 20 38 04 13 or an endorsement providing equivalent coverage. Consultant shall not allow any subconsultant to commence work on any subcontract relating to this Agreement until it has received satisfactory evidence of subconsultant’s compliance with all insurance requirements under this Agreement, to the extent applicable. The Consultant shall provide satisfactory evidence of compliance with this section upon request of the City.
