Proposed Approach

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Our team has reviewed your Request for Proposal and we
understand the desire to renovate the Santa Fe Springs Aquatic Center in order to bring the relatively untouched 1985 facility into modern times. We recognize that key elements of this project include an existing building that consists of locker and shower facilities, a multi-purpose room for training, and lobby; a concession stand, picnic area, spa/sauna area, large pool with diving boards, small pool, pump house facility, pool equipment, storage rooms, potential splash zone and water slide, and parking lot loading zone. HED brings significant experience in addressing similar challenges on a variety of aquatic projects throughout California. Our team of professionals and operational specialists provides us with unmatched expertise, exceptional collaboration skills and in-depth understanding of the programming, functional and technical considerations for successful delivery of the Santa Fe Springs Aquatic Center renovation.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Our approach is driven by a set of guiding principles that are unique to each project. We have identified the following initial principles as essential to the successful development of the Santa Fe Springs Aquatic Center project:
• Ensure that the pool remains a favorite community resource accessible to all.
• Sensitively update its facilities to meet modern building and health code standards and provide ease of access
throughout without detracting from or compromising the
pool’s historic character.
• Upgrade the facilities with sustainability in mind.
• Embed health, safety and welfare considerations in each decision to renew and upgrade the facility.

UNDERSTANDING THE UNIQUE

CHALLENGES OF THIS PROJECT
HED’s firmwide mission is to have a positive impact on
our clients, the community, and the world through design excellence. Our definition of design excellence is a solution built from thoughtful decision-making that creates measurable, real world positive impact. Sustainability is inseparable from design excellence, and significantly benefits what we refer to as “the triple bottom line” - the social, economic, and environmental impacts of a project.

Project Approach
HIGH PERFORMANCE DESIGN: MAKING SANTA FE SPRINGS

AQUATIC CENTER RESILIENT AND SUSTAINABLE
Our team’s knowledge and experience with high performing building projects will bring added value to the Santa Fe Springs Aquatic Center renovation project. The city is undertaking a civic project that has long term community significance. Integrating architecture, engineering, and building science, we have been leaders in achieving high performance civic projects.

Successfully executing high performing projects requires an integrated approach to resource efficient design to maximize the effectiveness of building systems and minimize initial and operating costs. Our projects start with a series of integrated charettes involving all stakeholders to facilitate creative thinking, the cross-pollination of ideas, identification of sustainable design strategies focused on ten metrics: integration, community, ecology, water, economy, energy, wellness, resources, change, and discovery. These paradigms, taken from the AIA COTE Top Ten, provide a more comprehensive and analytical process that benefits our clients.

MAINTAINING BUDGET COMPLIANCE
Budget compliance is of paramount importance to HED and we have developed a rigorous process to keep our project costs on target, adhering to an established budget review and cost estimating process that includes multiple cost estimates.

At the conceptual and programming phase of a project, HED utilizes historical cost databases and past project results to validate the project budget in relation to the owner’s scope and quality expectations. We believe that it is important to validate the initial project budget to make sure that there is alignment between the scope and the budget.

Typically, HED enlists the expertise of a cost estimating consultant to provide regular cost estimates at each phase of the project.

At the conclusion of each phase of work, we schedule a scopebudget alignment meeting between the client, HED, and our cost estimating consultant. This meeting is intended to identify any discrepancies between the scope and the estimate of the work to ensure alignment with the client’s expectations. By conducting this meeting, we can make sound budget decisions early in the project, reducing or eliminating the need for value engineering at later phases. At all times, we seek to retain the quality, function, and durability that our clients are targeting in their projects. 5 7
Value Engineering
HED defines value engineering (VE) as the pursuit of maximum value for both initial and long-term investment. VE should result in achieving the same aesthetics and function at a lower cost.

Based on industry research, the potential cost efficiencies range between 10 – 20% if VE is applied early in the design process. We consider VE in the early phases of design,
however, it is equally important to consider a reduced project schedule, improved quality for durability, features that mitigate risk, and enhanced sustainability.

Being a LEAN practice, we prefer to engage in a Target Value Design (TVD) process whenever possible. TVD relies on an early feasibility study establishing the client’s values and constraints, the development of a target cost, which equates to the budget that the client is willing to pay and designing and constructing to that target cost. The TVD process requires the involvement of key participants early in design to foster collaboration, develop of common goals, and pursue continuous improvement, to keep the design on course to the target cost. TVD requires more upfront work to have a deeper understanding of the project but is usually more efficient than value engineering in subsequent phases as key decisions are made early with informed costing.

ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED PROJECT SCHEDULE
HED has the capacity and the intent to proceed in an efficient, expedited manner to meet the earliest possible delivery milestones. Successfully completing projects on time requires an experienced team, dedicated professionals, and solid communication from start to finish. Three key strategies are discussed further below:
• Organized Decision Approach: HED plans and shares a project schedule to ensure stakeholders are able to attend workshops; decision-making is timely; and the City has adequate review time. We schedule and continually monitor all aspects of the process. Tools include scheduling all design team activities with pool planning, establishing team-wide protocols, and scheduling weekly milestone meetings, as needed.
• Design and Constructability: We combine design excellence with construction knowledge. We collaborate with
stakeholders to achieve your program intentions and
optimal configuration. At the same time, our team focuses on constructability by working with you, the contracting community, and third- party reviewers. This results in a project that is easily scoped and constructed.
• Project Deliverables: HED is committed to meeting project deadlines. Knowing that the schedule(s) may be tight,
HED will work with the City’s team to best understand any options to streamline the schedule within your parameters for reviews and approvals.

This interactive process establishes the entire Project Team’s roles and responsibilities tied to a project schedule. This work plan will be generated with input by all project stakeholders to facilitate buy in and dedication to successful project execution.

We will facilitate communication between team members so that a coordinated effort can be sustained. We will include all appropriate meetings, design, cost estimating, consultant coordination, approval durations and agency reviews in all schedules. The work plan is reviewed at each meeting with updates for critical decision making and championed by the project manager, in this case, Grace Milenkov, for
team coordination.

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS OF

AQUATIC DESIGN AND ENGINEERING
HED has built up a strong alliance with Counsilman-Hunsaker (CH-H20), collaborating on six aquatic projects over the last decade. With 50+ years of proven experience in aquatic
design, CH-H20 leads the industry with the latest innovative pool design features and technical solutions when undertaking a new or renovated facility. From tile replacement to complete structural pool design, you can be assured that our team of professionals have the knowledge and expertise to complete your swimming pool project on schedule and within your
budgetary constraints. We create conceptual designs to
include additional recreation components to the facility to increase attendance and lower operating costs.

Like HED, CH-H20 is involved in the design of numerous
projects each year, ranging in size and scope. They have the available staff to accomplish the simultaneous management of over 200 projects per year for a wide variety of market sectors.

Utilizing a carefully calibrated project management system, we have demonstrated a successful track record in completing our projects on time and within budget, year after year.

WORKING APPROACH
Our design team will lead meetings aimed at finalizing the program for the facility. If the scope of the project is well defined, then the focus of the programming will be narrowed to fill in gaps. We will start the discussions at the very beginning to either confirm the decisions previously made or explore alternatives as the City of Santa Fe Springs may desire.

Likewise, in designing projects just like this one, we have developed a detailed list of items that need to be determined to set the direction of the project program. This technical checklist acts as a guiding document for a programming
meeting to ensure that we systematically walk through all the decisions that make up an aquatic facility.

We will address:
• Preliminary design / environmental & entitlements support, environmental reports
• Hazardous building materials removal and disposal
determination (hazmat)
• Geotechnical investigation, soils report, geotechnical report • Seismic Analysis
• Site Survey and Survey Report
• Demolition phasing and contract documents
• Development of complete specifications
• Architectural Design, including but not limited to design of locker room, restrooms, lobby area and support spaces,
bleachers and terrace levels, and storage spaces.
• Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing Design – building systems, including ventilation
• Aquatics Design, including Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing Design for pool systems and consolidation of pumps, filters, and pool equipment into one pump room.
• Reconfiguration of pools, gutters, and accessibility to meet health code and aquatics programming requirements.
• Filtration (DE, high-rate sand)
• Training features (lengths, lane count, lane width)
• Water safety and training: swim lessons, safety classes. • Other programming (learn-to-swim, water aerobics, youth and adult swim teams, practice water polo, therapy, lap swim, triathletes, etc.)
• Recreational amenities to provide “unobstructed” play time, recreational swimming, and special community events.
• Therapy/Exercise amenities
• Temperature (heating, differentiated temperatures
between pools)
• Lighting (in and above pool)
• Civil Engineering
• Wet and dry utilities design
• Fire Protection (Fire Sprinkler system for the entire building/ Fire protection of existing trusses, and fire alarm).
• Lighting (including in and above pool)
• Low Voltage Security
• Code Compliance and Accessibility (ADA) Compliance
• Audio Visual
• Acoustics
• Mosaic Art Design for entrance – coordination with Arts and Culture Committee will be required.
• Owner-Purchased, Contractor-Installed (OPCI)
recommendations for pool equipment and furniture.

Coordination with City Aquatics Supervisor will be required. • Cost estimating and scheduling
Discussions will also cover the functionality of the building at the facility, continuing the refinement of concepts developed in the feasibility study. Operationally, our team will consider how do they function and what needs within the facility are being met and which needs are unmet. Concepts will be developed that facilitate designing the function areas of point of entry, restrooms, showers, changing rooms, administrative staff rooms, pool equipment room, and all other spaces desired as part of the design. Additionally, the physical aspects of the facility alterations will be reviewed for compatibility with the historic structure including architecture styles, materials and finishes, plumbing fixtures, lighting, and security. Similarly, there will be additional conversations about site elements such as entry approach and short-term drop-off.

Your willingness
to explore design
solutions and to
continuously add
value to these
solutions has been
rewarding. It really is
an ‘iconic’ design,
and I mean that in
every positive way.” – Amy Bodek
Director of Development Services, City of Long Beach
Belmont Beach Aquatic Center

PROGRAMMING PHASE
The programming meeting will be an intensive effort to fully confirm, refine and clarify the desired characteristics of the facility. The outline of issues to discuss will provide a template for discussing the various decisions to be made. The value of having an experienced design team will become evident during these discussions where we can offer in depth guidance and recommendations to help the Santa Fe Springs representatives make knowledgeable decisions in meeting their goals.

Following the programming effort, we will develop an outline program that describes the project that is envisioned. This document will be a clear outline of the decisions made and will guide us in the further development of the project. With this information in hand, our team will perform a planning effort that incorporates the desired features into several conceptual alternatives for the facility. During this stage, we will provide an estimate of probable cost of construction and evaluate its relation to the proposed budget for the project.

Through an interactive process with Santa Fe Springs
representatives, these concepts and estimates will be refined for presentation. The deliverables at the end of this phase will be conceptual site plans, floor plans and renderings with the ultimate outcome of this process being a single concept that is approved for further development.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE
We believe that creating an open and efficient process of communication is the cornerstone of a successful project.

We have developed a detailed, key stakeholder process
methodology that identifies project needs and goals, project opportunities and constraints, and a process to optimize the possibilities for your project. Assembling and assessing the information gleaned from each stakeholder is critical to defining the aquatic program and physical functionality for each pool. Once the aquatics program has been verified, schematic layouts for the reconfiguration of the existing pools will be developed to illustrate various arrangements and space relationships of the program. These layouts elicit comments and suggestions from the stakeholders to confirm a common understanding of project parameters in reaching consensus on the overall functionality of the project. During the schematic design phase, we will also determine the relationship of the pools to the surrounding support spaces and to identify opportunities for improvement.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE
This identifies all the questions that must be resolved by the design team including the coordination of issues such as the utilities, and the mechanical systems. CH-H20 takes a lead role during this phase with coordinating all the aquatic infrastructure requirements (e.g. domestic water, power, sewer, etc.)
required for the interfacing with the pool and pool systems.

Information is collected and compiled for completion of the Division 13 Swimming Pool Specifications which identify all the systems and components for the pools.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT DEVELOPMENT
The development of the construction documents is a
continuation of the project design process with final
construction documents being utilized for project bidding and permitting. The construction documents and specifications provide the details for pool construction and the pool systems to be provided to the project. The internal Quality Control processes in place throughout the design phase of the project lead to quality plans and specifications that define the project, minimize questions during bidding, and allow contractors to provide quality bids. Under HED’s leadership, CH-H20 also commits to reviewing other design disciplines progress construction documents to ensure that there are no scope gaps or overlooked coordination items.

CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
This is a critical phase of the project to ensure construction follows the decisions made throughout the design process and in conformance with the construction documents. During the pool construction process, HED attends weekly construction meetings and observes the progress of the work. CH-H20 is on site at several pre-established construction milestones to observe the progress of the pool construction, including for punch list development and close-out. A formal report on pool construction activities and deficiencies is submitted following each observation of construction. Other responsibilities in the construction administration phase include the review of contractor submittals, shop drawings, product information and requested substitutions. HED and CH-H20 are diligent throughout the review process to maintain project quality. 9 OPTION 1

Excellence Through Experience
19 At HED, great design is about thinking creatively to overcome challenges and improve real world outcomes. Our firm has a long history and reputation for excellence because we believe that all the facets of our design, from architecture, consulting, engineering, and planning, must create a positive impact for our clients, the community, and the world through responsive, innovative, and sustainable design solutions.

We are excited to partner with Counsilman-Hunsaker (CH-H20) on your project, a best-in-class aquatics design firm that has completed over 500 pool projects for the Park and Recreation market sector. The HED | CH-H2O team is currently designing the Belmont Plaza Pool Revitalization Project in Long Beach— an important recreation and Olympic training facility that combines indoor and outdoor facilities to create a major focal point for the City’s waterfront in a highly public location.

Our combined team is committed to a seamless, transparent, consensus-building process, including effective community outreach through a structured workshop process. HED has successfully planned and completed aquatic, recreation and athletic facilities throughout the firm’s history. In recent years, we have frequently teamed with CH-H20 for major aquatic facilities and feasibility studies, including recently completed Aquatic / Recreation Facility Feasibility Studies for the Cities of Walnut Creek and Piedmont, and a newly constructed 50-meter pool at Santa Monica High School. Each of these projects requires a unique response and a design approach that is specifically crafted for the needs of the community.

The following projects, four of which have been jointly developed by our HED | CH-H2O team highlight the depth and relevance of our collective aquatic experience.

21 AQUATICS CENTER MASTER PLAN | HED AND COUNSILMAN HUNSAKER Originally constructed in 1964, the existing Aquatics Center was the only such facility providing for aquatics-related activities in the community including Piedmont Unified School District. HED, in association CH-H20, was hired by the City to conduct a feasibility study and develop a preliminary concept for transforming the Aquatics Center. The concept for transforming the facility was developed after meetings with staff, user interviews, public workshops, and an online survey. The new Recreation and Aquatics Center will include a 3,900 SF leisure pool as well as a 10-lane competitive lap pool with two one-meter diving boards to accommodate diving, interactive activity areas, administration offices, and a new bathhouse with multipurpose room for community events.

AND AQUATIC CENTER | HED AND COUNSILMAN-HUNSAKER
HED, in collaboration with Moore Ruble Yudell Architects & Planners, designed a dramatic new academic complex that transforms Santa Monica High School’s (SAMOHI’s) North Campus. Benefiting both school and the surrounding community, the complex elevates educational, cultural, and recreational pursuits; improves campus access and circulation; and supports whole child development and diverse learning styles.

HED and CH-H20 designed SAMOHI’s publicly accessible Aquatic Center to meet the needs of the school and the surrounding community for the next fifty years. The outdoor pool is a 50-meter competition pool constructed of concrete, tile, and plaster, with a regenerative media filter system and movable bulkhead that allows several events to take place simultaneously. Bleacher seating and viewing galleries surround the northeast and south sides of the pool, and the center also includes changing rooms, restrooms, team rooms, classroom, reception area, and equipment rooms. All loose and deck equipment are as required by Health Department Regulations and the requirements of USA Swimming and the NFSHSA. The Aquatic Center completed construction in August, 2021.

36 HED utilizes internal work plans on every project to organize the design and documentation work and to manage a project’s schedule. The work plan is tailored to each project’s needs and requirements and identifies every task and responsibility by all participants in a project’s development, including owner, users, associated design firms and consultants, and agencies; and ties these tasks and responsibilities to a project schedule.

These work plans are assembled with input and consensus from all participants and are an important agenda item for the project’s kick-off meeting. We then monitor the work plan throughout the project and use it to inform all parties of items requiring resolution, impacts, and possible resolutions.

37 11 Fee Schedule
Fee Schedule
HED structures our fees from our internal staffing scale system, which associates hourly rates to professionals
based on industry expertise and education. We use industrystandard project management software, experience, and our understanding of the scope defined in our client’s request for proposal to forecast the time and expense necessary to determine a design solution that will be high quality, sustainable, and responsive to your needs. The following charts show the range of hourly rates we employ when
requested to structure our services hourly. Variations between offices reflect varying overhead factors affected by location.

BILLING PRACTICES
Sliding Fee Schedule: Architecture / Engineering Basic Services The following sliding fee schedule is typically used to develop a percentage fee for basic design services on civic projects.

Percentage fee calculations differ according to the categories of new construction and modernization, and modular buildings.

FIXED FEE / PERCENTAGE
The sliding fee scale provided for new construction is sometimes challenging, depending on the size and nature of the specific project under consideration, and may be subject to further discussion and negotiation. We understand the City’s preference is to set a fixed fee based on a percentage of construction cost.

ALTERNATIVE PRICING
It should be noted that HED has entered into a variety of fee arrangements for various Cities, including: • Lump-sum fees based on a fixed percentage of an established construction budget
• Sliding scale percentage-based fees based on final
construction cost
• Hourly fees with a not-to-exceed limit • Combinations of the above approach

RECORD DRAWINGS
HED will provide record drawings based on ‘As-Built Drawings’ provided by the General Contractor as part of our basic services defined as a percentage of construction or lump sum fee.

ADDITIONAL COSTS
Reimbursable Expenses
Reimbursable expenses and administrative markups associated with those expenses are negotiable. The following represents the typical categories of reimbursables and markups we seek, but we conform to the terms of a City’s master agreement and specific policies governing compensation. The following out-of-pocket expenses are typically reimbursed at the rate of One and Fifteen Hundredths (1.15) times the actual cost to HED, but we will abide by the allowed markups stipulated in the City’s form of agreement: • Travel expenses by HED for trips to the project site or other locations for purposes of investigation, meeting attendance as approved by the City.
• Reproduction and delivery-related expenses for documents to be used for client purposes.
• Out-of-pocket expenses for the preparation of presentation graphics, renderings, and models requested by the City. • Expenses for specialized consultants’ services authorized by the City. The cost of specialized consultants can be structured as separate proposals with lump-sum fees or
provided on the basis on hourly rates with a not to exceed.

Additional Services Fee
Additional Services would be provided for the project if authorized or confirmed in writing by the City. Additional Services include any other services not otherwise included in the base agreement.

HED’s fee for additional services beyond the scope of basic services can be negotiated as a lump sum or hourly time and materials basis according to the scope of services.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Without limiting Consultant’s indemnification of the City, and prior to commencement of Services, Consultant shall obtain, provide, and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form satisfactory to the City. If Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimum limits shown below, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

General liability insurance. Consultant shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence, $4,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.

Automobile liability insurance. Consultant shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with Services to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.

Professional liability (errors & omissions) insurance. Consultant shall maintain professional liability insurance that covers the Services to be performed in connection with this Agreement, in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this Agreement and Consultant agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no less than three (3) years after completion of the services required by this Agreement.

Workers’ compensation insurance. Consultant shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease).

Consultant shall submit to the City, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of the City, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers.

Umbrella or excess liability insurance. [Optional depending on limits required].

Consultant shall obtain and maintain an umbrella or excess liability insurance policy with limits that will provide bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability coverage at least as broad as the primary coverages set forth above, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include the following terms and conditions:
• A drop-down feature requiring the policy to respond if any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectible in whole or in part for any reason;
• Pay on behalf of wording as opposed to reimbursement; • Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies; • Policies shall “follow form” to the underlying primary policies; and • Insureds under primary policies shall also be insureds under the umbrella or excess policies.

Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance to the City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by the City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the City at all times during the term of this Agreement. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time.

Duration of coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of the Agreement insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder by Consultant, or Consultant’s agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by the City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of the City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

The City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, the City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by the City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or the City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, the City may immediately terminate this Agreement.

Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VI (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the City’s Risk Manager.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or 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, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Enforcement of Agreement provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Agreement are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.

Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to the City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the City and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to the City and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Services who is brought onto or involved in the Services by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subconsultants, and others engaged in the Services will be submitted to the City for review.

The City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Consultant, City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation or come to some other agreement to address the additional cost.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the City.

Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give the City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Services.
