Item No. 10.D. Page 2 of 3
On December 1, 2022, the City Council awarded a design contract to Parisi Transportation Consulting to develop crosswalk improvements in conjunction with the District's proposed improvements. The design includes a curb extension for the southwest curb ramp for the crosswalk on La Salle Avenue at Lindberg Court, median refuge with an offset crossing, rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs), modifying the corresponding pavement markings, roadway delineators, and school area signage.
The design was completed and the Ord Terrace Elementary School Crossing Improvement Project (Project) was released for construction bids on April 20, 2023, and bids were opened on May 16, 2023. Bids were received from the following three contractors:
Contractors Base Bid
Coastal Paving & Excavating Inc. $158,417.00
Monterey Peninsula Engineering $256,995.00
Don Chapin Company $244,855.00
Based upon an evaluation of bid documents received, Coastal Paving & Excavating Inc. was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a total bid of $158,417.00 and has satisfactorily completed similar work projects for other municipalities. Staff recommends a construction agreement for this Project be awarded to Coastal Paving & Excavating Inc.

Each of the said bonds shall be executed in a sum equal to one hundred percent of the Contract price and issued by a bonding company with an A.M. Best rating of A- or better, or instrument of credit.

In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where City's active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.
3.08 RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE AND INSURANCE. Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the work, Contractor will maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Contractor will use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here, it will be amended to do so.

all contractors, subcontractors, and anyone else involved in any way with the project contemplated by this agreement to do likewise.
2. Any waiver of subrogation express or implied on the part of City to any party involved in this agreement or related documents applies only to the extent of insurance proceeds actually paid. City, having required that it be named as an additional insured to all insurance coverage required herein, expressly retains the right to subrogate against any party for sums not paid by insurance. For its part, Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors, subcontractors or others involved in any way with the project(s) contemplated by this agreement, to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage maintained or procured by Contractor or required of others by Contractor pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to delete the subrogation condition as to City, or to specifically allow Contractor or others providing insurance herein to waive subrogation prior to a loss. This endorsement shall be obtained regardless of existing policy wording that may appear to allow such waivers.
4. It is agreed by Contractor and City that insurance provided pursuant to these requirements is not intended by any party to be limited to providing coverage for the vicarious liability of City, or to the supervisory role, if any, of City. All insurance coverage provided pursuant to this or any other agreement (express or implied) in any way relating to City is intended to apply to the full extent of the policies involved. Nothing referred to here or contained in any agreement involving City in relation to the project(s) contemplated by this agreement is intended to be construed to limit the application of insurance coverage in any way.

6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises.
Contractor shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. e1imation of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of binders of coverage, or endorsements, or certificates of insurance, at the option of City, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from sums due Contractor, at City option.
8. Contractor agrees to endorse, and to require others to endorse, the insurance provided pursuant to these requirements, to require 30 days notice to City and the appropriate tender prior to cancellation of such liability coverage and notice of any material alteration or non-renewal of any such coverage, and to require contractors, subcontractors, and any other party in any way involved with the project contemplated by this agreement to do likewise.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available to City.
10. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor. Contractor 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. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Contractor agrees that all layers of third party liability coverage required herein, primary, umbrella and excess, will have the same starting and expiration date. Contractor agrees further that all other third party coverages required herein will likewise have concurrent starting and ending dates.
12. Contractor agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If contractor's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to the City. At that Packet Page 564
ORD TERRACE SCHOOL CROSSINGS – Page 10
time the City shall review options with the contractor, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
13. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
14. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, all contracts pertaining to the project will be deemed to be executed when finalized and any activity commences in furtherance of performance under this agreement.
15. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
16. Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason.
The insurance shall include but not be limited to products and completed operations and discontinued operations, where applicable.
Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.
17. Contractor agrees to waive its statutory immunity under any workers' compensation statute or similar statute, in relation to the city, and to require all subcontractors and any other person or entity involved in the project contemplated by this agreement to do likewise.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitations on other requirements or as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. 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.
19. Any provision in any of the construction documents dealing with the insurance coverage provided pursuant to these requirements, is subordinate to and superseded by the requirements contained herein. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.
20. All liability coverage provided according to these requirements must be endorsed to provide a separate aggregate limit for the project that is the subject of this agreement and evidencing products and completed operations coverage for not less than two years after issuance of a final certificate of occupancy by all appropriate government agencies or acceptance of the completed work by City.
21. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements.
There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
22. Contractor agrees to obtain and provide to City a copy of Professional Liability coverage for Architects or Engineers working on this project through Contractor. City shall determine the liability limit.

PROJECT: CITY OF SEASIDE – ORD TERRACE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CROSSING
LA SALLE AVENUE AND LINDBERG COURT
SEASIDE, CALIFORNIA
SUBJECT: Proposal for Geotechnical Observations and Testing Services Dear Mr. Lehman:
As requested, Earth Systems has prepared this proposal to provide grading observation and compaction testing services for the proposed Ord Terrace Elementary School Crossing in Seaside, California. This proposal is for geotechnical related consultation, observation, and compaction testing only. Special inspection of the flatwork is not anticipated and can be provided under a separate cover upon request.
We understand that the school crossing project includes improvements to two areas near the intersection of La Salle Avenue and Lindberg Court. At the north side of the crossing a refuge island will be constructed and along the south end of the crossing a bulb-out is planned. We anticipate the majority of the geotechnical observation and testing will be related to compaction testing services for subgrade and basegrade elevations for pavements and flatwork.
Geotechnical Observation and Testing Services
A construction schedule was not available during preparation of this proposal. The inspection coverages and site visits were estimated based on prior experience with jobs of a similar size and scope, Ord Terrace Elementary School Crossing plans (dated April 20, 2023, no revisions), and provided specifications. Our anticipated services during construction are outlined as follows:
1. Attendance of a preconstruction meeting;
2. Collection of soil samples for laboratory testing to measure dry density variations with moisture content of various soil types (compaction curves);
3. Measurement of in-place density and moisture content of pavement/flatwork subgrade and aggregate base to evaluate relative compaction;
Exhibit A
Packet Page 648
City of Seaside - Ord Terrace Elementary School Crossing May 11, 2023 Doc. No.: 2305-008.PRP/mg 2 Proposal No.: SAL-23-05-006
4. Observation and compaction testing of asphalt pavement;
5. Preparation of daily inspection reports summarizing the observed grading activities with the results of the in-place field compaction tests performed during the day; and
6. Engineering consultation/scheduling/supervision/project management of the services provided by our firm.
Compaction testing of pavement/flatwork subgrade and aggregate base courses will be performed on a part-time and as-needed basis. Field compaction tests will be conducted in accordance with ASTM D 6938 (nuclear test method). Relative compaction will be determined by performing laboratory maximum density and optimum moisture tests in accordance with ASTM D 1557 and comparing it with the field compaction test.
The total cost of these services is dependent upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Among the cost determining factors are:
• The number of working days required by the contractor to complete each element of work.
• The number of different soil types to be utilized during site grading. • The amount of difficulty encountered by the grading contractor in obtaining the specified compaction of materials.
• Weather and subsurface conditions encountered during grading operations.
• The amount of time our inspection services will be required each day of operation.
Proposed Fees
Earth Systems would provide our geotechnical consultations, laboratory testing, grading observation and testing services on a time and material basis per our fee schedule in effect at the time of services.
Our estimated fee to provide Geotechnical Observation and Testing Services is $6,276.00. Our “Anticipated Scope of Services & Cost Estimate” worksheet is attached for your information and review.
Packet Page 649
City of Seaside - Ord Terrace Elementary School Crossing May 11, 2023 Doc. No.: 2305-008.PRP/mg 3 Proposal No.: SAL-23-05-006 Our actual fee will be based upon a Time and Materials basis per fee schedule in effect at the time of services. Standby time of calls for services not ready will be invoiced on a time and materials basis.
SCHEDULE AND CONDITIONS
The fees and conditions of this proposal will remain in effect for a period of 180 days. As the presence of our personnel at the site will depend upon the contractor's schedule and the progress of the work, the fees presented above are to be considered as estimates only and should not be construed as guaranteed maximum fees. The invoices will reflect the actual charged based on our fee schedule for the amount of time spent and service performed and may be greater or less than the estimated amounts.
Fees for overtime, weekend, and holiday work will be adjusted, and minimum work hours will be applied, in accordance with the State requirements. Night work (before 7:00 AM and after 5:00 PM) and overtime work will be invoiced at a rate of 1.5 times the appropriate rate. Prevailing Wage field time will be subject to a four-hour minimum charge. Hourly fees for fieldwork and travel time will be charged on a portal-to-portal basis from our office in Salinas.
It is our understanding that the project is subject to California Prevailing Wage Law. For your convenience in setting up the project, we have included our DIR registration numbers below.

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 Agency 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 Agency’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance.
Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with Agency at all times during the term of this contract. Agency reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.

Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by Consultant, his agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.
Primary/noncontributing. Except for Professional Liability and Workers Compensation, Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by Agency 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 Agency before the Agency’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
Agency’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, Agency has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by Agency will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or Agency will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments.
In the alternative, Agency may cancel this Agreement.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against Agency, 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 Agency, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the Agency to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the Agency nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section 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. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the Agency 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 Agency.
Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to Agency 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 Agency and its officers, officials, employees, and 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 Packet Page 664
Ord Terrace School Xing EXHIBIT C
endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to Agency 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 project who is brought onto or involved in the project 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, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to Agency for review.
