The City of San Pablo (“City”) invites proposals (“Proposals”) from qualified individuals or firms (individually, a “Proposer” and collectively, “Proposers”) in response to this Request for Proposals and Qualifications (“RFPQ”) to prepare the design and construction requirements (“Bridging Documents”) for design-build delivery of the New Police Facility Project (“Project”), pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22160 et seq., as more particularly described herein. The Project involves the design and construction of a two story, concrete tilt -up building with up to 42,000 square feet of floor space for police operations, an essential operations center, training facilities, and site development including a secure police yard and parking, public parking lot and other site improvements.
1. ABOUT SAN PABLO
San Pablo is located in West Contra Costa County off Interstate 80, minutes away from the Bay Area cultural centers of Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco. Interstate 80 is the principal arterial route between the Bay Area and Sacramento. The City of San Pablo is nestled between the cities of Pinole and Richmond and by the neighboring cities of El Cerrito and Hercules. Historically one of the oldest Spanish settlements in the region, San Pablo has become a thriving residen tial and business community with a population of about 32,000 in an area of approximately two and one -half square miles. Additional information about the City can be obtained from the City of San Pablo website :
www.sanpabloca.gov.
Bridging Architect RFPQ Page 2

2. SCOPE AND NEEDS OF THE PROJECT
A. Summary. The City owns an approximately 2. 25-acre piece of property (“Property”) on Chattleton Lane within its Plaza San Pablo development, generally depicted in Exhibit 1, Parcel Map. The Property is adjacent to the new San Pablo City Hall and to a new residential development currently in the planning phase. The site backs up to the new Wildcat Creek trail and is currently vacant with several feet of uncompacted fill deposited and spread to help achieve grading goals for the project. The City desires to contract with a qualified architect and design consultants (“ Bridging Architect ”) to design a 42,000 square foot Police Facility (“New Police Facility”).
B. Project Background. The City has completed a concept study of potential concept site plan and architectural character. The concept design study of the New Police Facility is depicted in Exhibit 2, New Police Facility Concept Study. The concept study was identified as the preferred option of two initial alternatives as it was deemed to be compatible with the existing City Hall facility on the adjacent site. The New Police Facility will be located across a shared entry drive with City Hall and should b e considered a partner civic building across a shared civic plaza. Pursuant to the concept design, the Property will be developed with a police facility building, interior gun range, secure police yard and parking with two secure vehicle entrances at Chattleton Lane and at the shared entry drive with City Hall. Public parking and public entry to the Police Facility will be along the shared entry drive with City Hall. The project borders the new Wildcat Creek Trail but no additional public access need be provided beyond that already provided on the City Hall site. The police yard entry off Chattleton will share an access drive with the adjacent residential project currently in design.
C. Project Requirements. The New Police Facility will be designed and constructed as a two -story building, with the interior designed to support all designated police operation and training program elements including an interior gun range. The City has conducted an initial needs assessment with the Police Department and other key stakeholders and developed a preliminary space program and design criteria for the Project as shown in Exhibit 3, Preliminary Program and Design Criteria . This is to serve as a starting point for the bridging architect team for verification of preliminary programming and design criteria through the design process and to serve as minimum standard for materials and content to be included in Bridging Documents. It is the responsibility of the Bridging Architect to confirm and expand on these requirements for inclusion in the Bridging Documents.
D. Form of Agreement. A copy of the City’s standard Agreement for Consulting Services (“Agreement”) is attached hereto as Exhibit 4, Agreement for Consulting Services, and incorporated herein .

Alternatively, the additional insured endorsement may be provided as a separate owner’s policy that complies with all of the requirements set forth in this Section 15.
b. The inclusion of more than one insured will n ot operate to impair the rights of one insured against another, and the policies will apply as though separate policies have been issued to each of the Additional Insureds. c. The insurance provided by the Consultant is primary and no insurance or self - insurance held or owned by any of the Additional Insureds may be called upon to contribute to a loss or defense.
d. Any failure by Consultant to comply with the reporting requirements for a policy will not affect nor abridge the coverage provided for any Additional Insureds. e. The coverage or endorsement will not contain any limitations on the scope of protection available to the Additional Insureds.
2. Notice: Each insurance policy required by this clause must provide or be endorsed to state that coverage will not be reduced, canceled, or allowed to expire without at least 30 days written notice to the City, unless due to non -payment of premiums, in which case 10 days written notice is required.
3. Waiver of Subrogation: Each required policy must include an endorsement providing that the insurer will waive any right of subrogation it may have against the City.
Consultant hereby agrees to waive subrogation which any insurer of Consultant may acquire from Consultant by virtue of the payment of any loss.
C. Deductibles and Self -Insured Retentions. Any deductibles or self -insured retentions for the required insurance policies are subject to prior approval by the City Manager . Before beginning performance of the Services, Consultant must disclose the amounts of the deductibles and self-insured retentions that apply to the required policies. If the City Manager determines that the deductible or self- insured retention for any required policy is unacceptably high, at the option of City, (1) the insurer must reduce or eliminate the deductible or self-insured retention with respect to the Additional Insureds, or (2) the Consultant must provide a bond or financial guarantee satisfactory to the City guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses. During the
Term of this Agreement, Consultant may not increase any deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to the Additional Insureds, without the prior written consent of the City Manager. The City Manager may condition such consent upon the Consultant procuring a bond or financial guarantee that is satisfactory in form to the City, guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses.
D. Subconsultants or Subcon tractors. Consultant must ensure that each subconsultant or subcontractor is required to maintain the same insurance coverage required for Consultant under this Section (15), with respect to its performance of Services, including the required endorsements .
Consultant must confirm that each subconsultant or subcontractor has complied with these insurance requirements before the subconsultant or subcontractor is permitted to begin Services under this Agreement. Upon request by the City, Consultant must provi de certificates and endorsements submitted by each subconsultant or subcontractor to prove compliance with this requirement.

The terms and conditions set forth in subsection 16(A), below, are applicable to this Agreement if the Services to be provided by Consultant are not “design professional” services as used and defined in Civil Code section 2782.8 (architect, landscape architect, engineering, or land surveyor services). The terms and conditions set forth in subsection 16(B), below, are applicable to this Agreement if the Services to be provided by Consultant are “design professional” services as used and def ined in Civil Code section 2782.8 (architect, landscape architect, engineering, or land surveyor services).
A. Indemnification by Non-Design Professionals. Consultant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to the City) and hold harmless City, and its employees, officials, volunteers and agents ("Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs and liability of every nature arising out of or resulting from the performance of this Agreement by Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, volunteers, subcontractors or sub-consultants, excepting only liability arising from the sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of City. Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution.

The Consultant shall be obligated to defend, in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel approved by the City, the City and its directors, officers, and employees, immediately upon tender to the Consultant of the claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. An allegation or determination of comparative active negligence or willful misconduct by an Indemnified Party does not relieve the Consultant from its separate and distinct obligation to defend City. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exha ustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent defense counsel if the Consultant asserts that liability is caused in whole or in part by the negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party. If it is fi nally adjudicated that liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party, Consultant may submit a claim to the City for reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and defense costs.

as an employee of City, Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, subconsultants or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.
3. The review, acceptance or approval of the Consultant’s Services or work product by any Indemnified Party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the Consultant’s indemnification or defense obligations. The provisions of this Section are not limited by and do not affect the provisions of this Agreement relating to insurance.
4. Acceptance by City of insurance certific ates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Consultant from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply.
5. By execution of this Agreement, Consultant acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration, and that these provisions survive the termination of this Agreement.

Defense costs shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percent age of fault, except as set forth in section 2782.8.
1. In the event that Consultant or any employee, agent, subconsultant or subcontractor of Consultant providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (“PERS”) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits o n behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, subconsultants or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.
2. The review, acceptance or approval of the Consultant’s Services or work product by any Indemnified Party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the Consultant’s indemnification or defense obligations. The provisions of this Section are not limited by and do not affect the provisions of this Agreement relating to insurance.
3. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Consultant from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply.
4. By execution of this Agreement, Consultant acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration, and that these provisions survive the termination of this Agreement.

INTRODUCTION
This letter presents OUT geotechnical database for the San Pablo City Hall project, as well as recommendations for use in earthwork construction and paving for the subject project. This letter and the attached database are issued to facilitate earthwork contractors who we understand are bidding the project at this time. OUT final report, including recommendations for foundation and slab support will be issued under separate cover as soon as site improvement/support issues driven by soil liquefaction are resolved.
Field exploration for this investigation has included the drilling of three exploratOlY borings to depths ranging from 20 to 50 feet, the pushing of two cone penetration tests (CPT), the coring/drilling of shallow exploratOly holes through pavements, where present , and the sampling of the near sUTface soils. Both disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were obtained from the borings and pavement core locations. All samples, both distUTbed and undisturbed were returned to OUT laboratory for further review and laboratory testing. The locations of the borings, CPTs and pavement coring sites are shown together with the proposed city hall footprint over an aerial photo base on Plate 1, Plot Plan. Logs depicting soils conditions engaged in the borings are presented on Plates 2 through 4, Log of Boring. Moisture, density and unconfined compressive strength test data are presented on the boring logs at the depth of each sample tested. The nomenclature used to describe the soils on the logs is defined on Plate 5, Unified Soil Classification System. Con'ected cone resistance (qt), friction ratio (Rf), pore water preSSUTe (u), and normalized cone resistance (Qtn), from CPT 1 and CPT 2, respectively , are presented 3140 BEACO N BLVD . • WEST SACRAM ENT O, CA 9569 1 • TELEPHONE 916/37 1-043 4 • FAX 916/37 1-1809
