Enforcement Vehicles:
ACE currently has 3 White 2019 Toyota Prius vehicles with “City of Santa Clarita, Parking Enforcement” logo affixed that we are using for enforcement services. Due to the high mileage of these vehicles, ACE would like to update our fleet to 3 brand new 2023 White Toyota Corolla Hybrid vehicles at an estimated cost of $1,800 per month.
ACE would like to keep one of the Prius vehicles (with the lowest mileage) as a spare, at no cost to the city, so that we can have an immediate available option if maintenance is required for one of the new vehicles. This would allow us to meet the requirement of having a backup vehicle ready to operate within 4 hours.
As part of our proposal, we are including the option for Vigilant Solutions to mount new ALPR equipment onto our vehicles. This cost for 3 vehicles to be equipped with ALPR cameras and new tablets is estimated at $72,240 (pre-tax) for Year 1 which includes extended 4-year warranty. After Year 1, there will be an annual recurring cost of $6,550 for software fees.
The mechanical maintenance and storage of the vehicles will be of paramount importance. Frequent mechanical checks and pro-active maintenance will be conducted by our staff and Field Supervisor. Any cause for concern will be reported to the dealer for a professional assessment.

1. SUMMARY OF CONTRACTUAL REQUIRMENTS
a. A contract is required for any service performed on behalf of the City of Santa Clarita (City).
b. By submitting a proposal, you have reviewed the sample contract documents contained within this request for proposals and agree to be bound by the requirements set forth.
c. Questions and requests for modification of these terms must be negotiated and approved prior to proposal submission and are at the full discretion of the City.
2. SUMMARY OF INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
a. These are the Indemnity and Insurance Requirements for Contractors providing services or supplies to City of Santa Clarita (City). By agreeing to perform the work or submitting a proposal, you verify that you comply with and agree to be bound by these requirements. If any additional Contract documents are executed, the actual Indemnity language and Insurance Requirements may include additional provisions as deemed appropriate by City’s Purchasing Agent.
b. You should check with your Insu rance advisors to verify compliance and determine if additional coverage or limits may be needed to adequately insure your obligations under this agreement. These are the minimum required and do not in any way represent or imply that such coverage is sufficient to adequately cover the Contractor’s liability under this agreement. The full coverage and limits afforded under Contractor’s policies of Insurance shall be available to Buyer and these Insurance Requirements shall not in any way act to reduce coverage that is broader or includes higher limits than those required.
The Insurance obligations under this agreement shall be: 1—all the Insurance coverage and limits carried by or available to the Contractor; or 2 —the minimum Insurance requirements shown in this agreement, whichever is greater. Any insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits and coverage required, which are applicable to a given loss, shall be available to City.
c. Contractor shall furnish the City with original Certificates of Insurance including all required amendatory endorsements and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsement Page of the CGL policy listing all policy endorsements to City before work begins. City reserves the right to require full- certified copies of all Insurance coverage and endorsements.
3. INDEMNIFICATION
a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall defend (with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to CITY), indemnify and hold harmless CITY and its officers, agents, departments, officials, representatives and employees (collectively “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, loss, cost, damage, injury (including, without limitation, economic harm, injury to or death of an employee of CONSULTANT or its subconsultants), expense and liability of every kind, nature and description that arise from or relate to (including, without limitation, incidental and consequential damages, court costs, attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses and fees of expert consultants or expert witnesses incurred in connection therewith and costs of investigation) that arise from or relate to, directly or indirectly, in whole
or in part, from: (1) CONSULTANT’s performance of Services under this Agreement, or any part thereof; (2) any negligent act or omission of CONSULTANT, any subconsultant, anyone directly or indirectl y employed by them, or anyone that they control; (3) any actual or alleged infringement of the patent rights, copyright, trade secret, trade name, trademark, service mark or any other intellectual or proprietary right of any person or persons in consequenc e of the use by CITY, or any other Indemnitee, of articles or Services to be supplied in the performance of this Agreement; or (4) any breach of this Agreement (collectively “Liabilities”). Such obligations to defend, hold harmless and indemnify any Indemnitee shall not apply to the extent such Liabilities are caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, but shall apply to all other Liabilities. The foregoing shall be subject to the limitations of California Civil Code section 2782.8 as to any design professional services performed by CONSULTANT and in particular the limitation on CONSULTANT’s duty to defend whereby such duty only arises for claims relating to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT as well as the limitation on the cost to defend whereby CONSULTANT will only bear such cost in proportion to CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault (except as otherwise provided in section 2782.8).
b. The foregoing indemnification provisions will not red uce or affect other rights or obligations which would otherwise exist in favor of the CITY and other Indemnitees.
c. CONSULTANT shall place in its subconsulting agreements and cause its subconsultants to agree to indemnities and insurance obligations in favo r of CITY and other Indemnitees in the exact form and substance of those contained in this Agreement.
4. INSURANCE
a. Before commencing performance under this Agreement, and at all other times this Agreement is effective, CONSULTANT will procure and maintain th e following types of insurance with coverage limits complying, at a minimum, with the limits set forth below:
Type of Insurance Limits
Commercial general liability: $1,000,000
Professional liability $1,000,000
Business automobile liability $1,000,000
Workers compensation Statutory requirement
b. Commercial general liability insurance will meet or exceed the requirements of ISO -CGL Form No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88. The amount of insurance set forth above will be a combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage for the policy coverage. Automobile coverage will be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage Form CA 00 01 06 92, including symbol 1 (Any Auto). Liability policies will be endorsed to name CIT Y, its officials, and employees as “additional insureds” under said insurance coverage and to state that such insurance will be deemed “primary” such that any other insurance that may be carried by CITY will be excess thereto. Such endorsement must be reflected on ISO Form No. CG 20 10 11 85 or 88, or equivalent. Such insurance will be on an “occurrence,” not a “claims made,” basis and will not be cancelable or subject to reduction except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to CITY.
c. Professional liability coverage will be on an “occurrence basis” if such coverage is available, or on a “claims made” basis if not available. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of at least th ree (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.
d. CONSULTANT will furnish to CITY duly authenticated Certificates of Insurance evidencing maintenance of the insurance required under this Agreement, including endorsements, and such other evidence of insurance or copies of policies as may be reasonably required by CITY from time to time. Insurance must be placed with California-admitted insurers with (other than workers compensation) a current A.M. Best Company Rating of at least “A:VII.”
e. Waiver of Subrogation: The insurer(s) agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, agents, volunteers and employees for losses paid under the terms of the workers compensation policy which arise from work performed by CONSULTANT for CITY.
f. Should CONSULTANT, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance required by this Agreement, CITY may obtain such coverage at CONSULTANT’s expense and d educt the cost of such insurance from payments due to CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate pursuant to TERMINATION section. In the alternative, should CONSULTANT fail to meet any of the insurance requirements under this Agreement, City may terminate this Agreement immediately with no penalty.
g. Should CONSULTANT’S insurance required by this Agreement be cancelled at any point prior to expiration of the policy, CONSULTANT must notify City within 24 hours of receipt of notice of cancellation.
Furthermore, CONSULTANT must obtain replacement coverage that meets all contractual requirements within 10 days of the prior insurer’s issuance of notice of cancellation. CONSULTANT must ensure that there is no lapse in coverage.
h. The CITY shall be entitled to any coverage in excess of the minimums required herein.
I have read and understand the above requirements and agree to be bound by them for any work performed for the City.
