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 of Stockton (if agreed to in a written contract or agreement) before the City of Stockton’s own insurance or selfinsurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

CONTRACTOR’S duties and obligations to defend the CITY shall apply regardless of whether or not the issue of the CITYS liability, breach of this Agreement, or other obligation or fault has been determined.

It is agreed between the parties that this reimbursement provision assures CONTRACTOR is not obligated to defend or indemnify CITY in an amount greater than provided for under California law, including, without limitation, California Civil Code sections 2782, 2782.6, and 2782.8.
With the exception that this section shall in no event be construed to require indemnification by CONTRACTOR to a greater extent than permitted under the public policy of the State of California, and in addition to the other indemnity obligations in this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CITY, its Mayor, Council, officials, representatives, agents employees and volunteers from and against all claims, losses, expenses, and costs including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees, arising out of any claim brought against the CITY by an employee, office, agent, or volunteer of CONTRACTOR, regardless of whether such claim may be covered by any applicable
workers compensation insurance. CONTRACTOR’S indemnification obligation is not limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits payable by or for the CONTRACTOR under workers’ compensation acts, disability acts, or other employee benefit acts.

Notice of Cancellation

Design construction support services are needed from Indigo, Hammond + Playle Architects, LLP (design architect) during the construction phase. The services include, but are not limited to, attending construction meetings, preparing design revisions, reviewing field questions and/or changes, responding to requests for information, and completing record drawings. Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 4 to the Standard Agreement with Indigo, Hammond + Playle Architects, LLP, in the amount of $77,254, which is necessary to add the design construction support services to their contract. The total contract amount is $758,947.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Stockton Police Department Main Facility, located at 22 East Market Street, was constructed in 1970 (Attachment A). The Police Headquarters basement was partially remodeled in 2021. The remodel project addressed the overall facility space needs by expanding certain existing restrooms, showers, and locker room spaces. Hazardous material abatement, fire sprinkler modifications, and accessibility improvements were also completed. However, due to funding constraints, work to remodel the remainder of the basement, including the women’s locker room, was delayed until funding could be programmed. The Police Headquarters Women’s Locker Room Remodel, Project No. P015035-A, was subsequently programmed in the 2021-26 Five-Year CIP.
The City entered into a Professional Services Contract with Indigo, Hammond + Playle Architects, LLP to prepare the plans and specifications for construction of the project. The project design was completed in January 2022. The project will perform additional tenant improvements to the women’s locker room, three restrooms, and two storage rooms in the Police Department Main Facility. Other related work will include hazardous material abatement, fire sprinkler modifications, and accessibility improvements.
The project is in conformance with the City’s General Plan, pursuant to California Government Code, section 65402, and is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA as specified under Section 15301 of the CEQA guidelines. On January 28, 2020, Council adopted Resolution No. 2020- 01-28-1107 approving Notice of Exemption No. CE009-19 under CEQA.
On July 26, 2016, Council adopted a Community Workforce and Training Agreement (CWTA). The CWTA became effective August 25, 2016, and applies to all Public Works projects over $1 million that are bid after that date. On July 16, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-07-16-1403, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2024. The CWTA was not applied to this project as the estimated construction cost is less than $1 million.
Present Situation
On February 4, 2022, the Police Headquarters Women’s Locker Room Remodel, Project No.
P015035-A, was advertised for bids including a bid schedule with a base bid and four additive bid alternatives (Additive Alternative). The Additive Alternatives include optional improvements that can be included provided there is available funding. The base bid amount is the basis of award for the project. The optional Additive Alternatives improvements are:

Contractor shall not be obligated to indemnify or defend City for claims finally determined by a court of law or arbitrator to arise from the active negligence or willful misconduct of the City. It is the intent of the Parties that this indemnity obligation is at least as broad as is permitted under California law. To the extent California Civil Code sections 2782, et seq., limit the defense or indemnity obligations of Contractor to City, the intent hereunder is to provide the maximum defense and indemnity obligations allowed by Contractor under the law. The indemnity set forth in this section shall not be limited by insurance requirements or by any other provision of this Agreement.
With exception that this section shall in no event be construed to require indemnification, including the duty to defend, by Contractor to a greater extent than permitted under the public policy of the State of California, the parties agree that Contractor’s duty to defend City is immediate and arises upon the filing of any claim against the City for damages which arise out of or are in any way connected with the work performed, materials furnished, or services provided under this Agreement by Contractor or Contractor’s officers, agents, employees, volunteers or subcontractors. Contractor’s duties and obligations to defend the City shall apply regardless of whether or not the issue of the City’s liability, breach of this Agreement, or other obligation or fault has been determined.
Contractor shall be immediately obligated to pay for City’s defense costs of the claim, including, but not limited to, court costs, attorney’s fees and costs, expert consultant and witness fees and costs, other witness fees, document reproduction costs, arbitration fees, and, if after final judgment an appeal is pursued, all of such costs for the appeal.
At the conclusion of the claim, if there is any determination or finding of sole active negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the City, City will then reimburse Contractor for amounts paid in excess of Contractor’s proportionate share of responsibility for the damages within 30 days after Contractor provides City with copies of all bills and expenses incurred in the defense of the claim(s). It is agreed between the
Local Construction Contract – STRATUS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY – PROJECT NO. P015035-A (Updated 12/31/20)
parties that this reimbursement provision assures Contractor is not obligated to defend or indemnify City in an amount greater than provided for under California law, including, without limitation, California Civil Code sections 2782, 2782.6, and 2782.8.
With the exception that this section shall in no event be construed to require indemnification by Contractor to a greater extent than permitted under the public policy of the State of California, and in addition to the other indemnity obligations in this Agreement, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City, its Mayor, Council, officials, representatives, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against all claims, losses, expenses, and costs including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, arising out of any claim brought against the City by an employee, office, agent, or volunteer of Contractor, regardless of whether such claim may be covered by any applicable workers compensation insurance. Contractor’s indemnification obligation is not limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits payable by or for the Contractor under workers’ compensation acts, disability acts, or other employee benefit acts.
The City’s acceptance of the insurance certificates required under this Agreement does not relieve the CONTRACTOR from its obligation under this paragraph. The indemnification obligations of this section shall survive the termination of this agreement.
Any exceptions to this language may result in a proposal being deemed non-responsive.
CONTRACTOR/Subcontractor's responsibility for such defense and indemnity obligations shall survive the termination or completion of this agreement for the full period of time allowed by law.
The defense and indemnification obligations of this agreement are undertaken in addition to, and shall not in any way be limited by, the insurance obligations contained in this agreement. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this indemnification is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this indemnification.

Re: Amendment #4 – Design Support During Construction, for Women’s Restroom / Lockers Room and Toilet Rooms 4 & 18 for Police Headquarters, 22 E. Market Street, Stockton, CA, ref. # 013 1936478
Dear Josh,
This letter, revised per the request of Jesse Garcia, describes certain changes in service and is an amendment to the existing agreement with an effective date of November 21, 2016. All other terms and conditions of the original existing agreement remain in full force and effect. The following attachments are referenced.
• 2022 Fee Schedule, may be updated from time to time.
Description of Scope of Services change:
This proposal provides design support during construction services, additional to the formerly referenced Construction Administration CA services to supplement scope added under Amendment 3 which included final design and minimal Bidding and CA services. Amendment #4 adds fee to more closely align with the services provided on the Men’s Remodel project which was completed last year and also included added design scope performed during bidding. The design scope now provides new finishes and a new opening in existing CMU into the Property Vault 46.
Changes to Agreement:
Section 3., Term: Extend contract time from 3/31/22 to 3/31/23. The 3/31/22 term was approved under Amendment 3 by the First Extension of the Contract dated 4/25/19.
Section 4., Compensation: For the additional work described in this amendment, change total compensation amount from $681,693 as authorized in Amendment 3 to $758,947. The attached 2022 Fee Schedule will be used for billing time and expense (t&m).
Changes to Exhibit A – Scope of Work:
The Exhibit A – Scope of Services, Schedule of Delivery, and Compensation, also indicated as EXHIBIT 1, is replaced in its entirety with the following, note that Design Support During Construction and Construction Administration are used interchangeably for this discussion.
EXHIBIT 2
The following describes the work required for the remodel of Women’s Restroom, Shower & Locker Rooms, Toilet Rooms 4 & 18, and abatement with new flooring in Storage 41 & Closet 43 shown on the approved Basement Floor Plan. Design has already been completed and the project has been successfully bid with the low bid at $325,000. Scope has been added in the Property Vault 46 which includes added finishes and new opening in existing CMU wall.
Several factors have changed since Amendment 3 which contained limited construction administration services. Since the City has decided to bid the work to a new contractor instead of change ordering it with the existing contractor, a whole new bidding and construction sequence is planned, requiring a considerable amount of work for a very small area and small construction value. A new contractor will have to be selected in a public bid process, then mobilize, coordinate a whole new slate of subcontractors, prepare submittals, etc. Since the new contractor will be unfamiliar with the project, he/she can be expected to issue many RFIs compared to the existing contractor and subs who are already familiar with the site and its various existing conditions. Thus, the level of effort for the bidding and construction effort is significant as compared to project size. City staff will handle day-to-day affairs, minimizing the need for our services during construction.
The level of effort for construction administration work is dependent on many factors, most of which are not entirely predictable, thus work will be completed on a T&M allowance basis. Indigo will perform all construction administration services requested by the City, and will endeavor to complete the assignment within the budget provided by this amendment. Work that requires more compensation than the cost included in this amendment is beyond the scope of this agreement, and if required would be the basis of a further amendment.
DESIGN SUPPORT DURING CONSTRUCTION (formerly referred to as Construction Administration) T&M allowance basis
A. Add services Design Support During Construction – T&M services on an allowance basis. a. Additional services to be provided as directed by City, and may include: answer bidder questions; attend meetings; review submittals; respond to requests for information RFI; conduct final inspection; review record documents submitted by contractor; from contractor record documents, prepare “Record Drawings” for submittal to City of Stockton for safekeeping (mylars not included); and other services as may be requested by City.
Fee Discussion
Amendment 3 included a total fee of $62,000 for Final Design through permitting with an allowance of $25,100 for Bidding and Construction, including a $13,000 for hazmat monitoring, leaving only $12,000 allowance for A&E construction support. Indigo spent $5,121 as of 5/12/22 for Bidding services, leaving at that time only $6,879 remaining in contract for A&E design support during construction.
Even assuming minimal design support during construction services, for this small, publicly bid, complicated remodel project located in the basement of a 1980’s vintage essential services building, explaining the need for an additional amendment to cover design support during construction services this fee was low, also considering the City will not be engaging a construction manager. This amendment will allow Indigo to provide design support during construction services as requested.
As with the prior project, this scope assumes that the essential services building exemption found in the 2019 California Administrative Code, Article 4, section 4-207 will still be found to apply to this projected by the CBO: “Existing buildings housing essential services facilities owned or leased by the state, a city, a EXHIBIT 2
city and county or a county prior to the effective date of the (Essential Services Buildings Seismic Safety Act of 1986) Act are exempt from these regulations.”
Changes to Exhibit A – Compensation Schedule:
The prior authorized fixed-fee amount of $681,693 is thereby increased by $77,254. by this amendment resulting in an adjusted total fee of $758,947 as follows and as indicated on the separate Project Fee Estimation dated 6/7/22:
Add service Design Support During Construction (t&m allowance basis) $77,254..
Total this amendment $77,254.

execute a City-County Cooperative Agreement for the Pershing Avenue Sidewalk Gap Closure, Project No. WT23033.
DISCUSSION
Background
In July 2021, the County Public Works Department awarded a Construction Contract for the Pershing Avenue Widening project between Thornton Road and Meadow Avenue which is in the unincorporated county. The project is presently in construction and will widen Pershing Avenue to include a continuous left-turn pocket, one lane in each direction, new pavement, storm drainage, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks.
South of Meadow Avenue, Pershing Avenue is a four-lane roadway and within the City of Stockton. A gap in the City’s sidewalk network exists on the west side of Pershing Avenue from Meadow Avenue to Lincoln Road, a distance of approximately 900-feet. The City wishes to close this gap and install the necessary frontage and/or sidewalk improvements within the stated limits to enhance pedestrian access and mobility. The County has agreed to use their contractor to install the needed frontage and/or sidewalk improvements in the City’s jurisdiction with their Pershing Avenue Widening project.
Present Situation
A City-County Cooperative Agreement is needed to formally include City frontage and/or sidewalk improvements in the County’s Pershing Avenue Widening project. The City-County Cooperative Agreement is scheduled to be presented to the County Board of Supervisors for approval on July 12, 2022. Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager to execute a City-County Cooperative Agreement for the Pershing Avenue Sidewalk Gap Closure, Project No. WT23033.
The project is in conformance with the City’s General Plan, pursuant to California Government Code, section 65402, and is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA as specified under Section 15301(c) of the CEQA guidelines. The activities related to this project constitute a discretionary project under the City’s jurisdiction and qualifies as a project that does not have a significant effect on the environment. The resolution will approve the filing of Notice of Exemption No. NOE22-22 under CEQA.
The sidewalk gap closure work is anticipated to be complete by fall of 2022.
Findings
Pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) section 3.68.070, Council may approve findings which support an exception to the competitive bidding process. These findings include:
1. Adding the Pershing Avenue Sidewalk Gap Closure project’s scope to the County’s existing Pershing Avenue Widening project will save the administrative expense of City staff conducting a separate construction procurement, providing the most efficient use of public funds.
2. The County competitively bid the Pershing Avenue Widening project and awarded a City of Stockton Page 2 of 3 Printed on 7/20/2022
powered by Legistar™
File #: 22-0505, Version: 1
Construction Contract to the lowest bidder, Tom Mayo Construction.
3. The estimated unit prices for the City’s Pershing Avenue Sidewalk Gap Closure project are comparable to the unit prices for similar work on the County’s competitively bid Pershing Avenue Widening project.
4. Due to economies of scale, the County is able to add the City’s project scope to the Pershing Avenue Widening project for a competitive price.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The total amount for the work described is estimated to be $400,000. The Pershing Avenue Sidewalk Gap Closure, Project No. WT23033, Account No. 4510-000-800007-300-000-30-45- 000-000, is a newly created project and therefore does not have funding. With the transfer of funds in the amount of $400,000 from the Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Infill, Project No.
WD18016, Account Number 4570-000-800007-300-000-30-45-000- 000, sufficient funds will be available to fund the Pershing Avenue Sidewalk Gap Closure, Project No. WT23033.

ADOPT RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE LOCAL STREET RESURFACING PROGRAM -
SLURRY SEAL PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to:
1. Approve the Notice of Exemption No. NOE17-22 under the California Environmental Quality Act for the Local Street Resurfacing Program FY 2021-22 SB1 - Slurry Seal, Project No.
WT22003.
2. Approve the plans and specifications for the Local Street Resurfacing Program FY 2021-22 SB1 - Slurry Seal, Project No. WT22003.
3. Award a Construction Contract in the amount of $698,275 to Pavement Coatings Co. of Sacramento, CA, for the Local Street Resurfacing Program FY 2021-22 SB1 - Slurry Seal, Project No. WT22003.
It is also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to take appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.
Summary
The Local Street Resurfacing Program FY 2021-22 SB1 - Slurry Seal, Project No. WT22003, will apply a slurry seal resurfacing treatment to approximately 12 miles of residential and collector roadways citywide (Attachment A). Slurry Seal is a thin layer applied to an asphalt pavement surface to seal the surface and extend the roadway’s life expectancy. The project was included in the 2021- 26 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
On May 12, 2022, the City received three bids for the project. Staff recommends award of the Construction Contract to the lowest responsive bidder, Pavement Coatings Co., in the amount of $698,275. Staff also recommends that Council adopt a resolution approving Notice of Exemption No.
NOE17-22 under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and approving the plans and specifications for the project. Construction is anticipated to begin in early summer 2022 and to be completed by fall 2022, weather permitting.
DISCUSSION
Background
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB1 funding provides for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and City of Stockton Page 1 of 3 Printed on 7/20/2022
powered by Legistar™
File #: 22-0595, Version: 1
critical safety needs on the State highway, local streets, and road systems. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) is responsible for oversight of funding and/or programs created with the approval of SB1.
SB1 provides funding for the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Program. Other programs include the Local Partnership Program, the Active Transportation Program, State Highway Operation and Protection Program, and Local Streets and Roads Program. The RMRA funding is part of the City’s overall Gas Tax allocation; however, RMRA funds can only be expended on projects that meet eligibility criteria and have been approved by the CTC. RMRA funds are accounted for and reported separately from regular Gas Tax funds.
An estimated $6.2 million in SB1 RMRA Program funding was allocated to the City for FY 2021-22, and the project list was approved by Council on May 11, 2021, by Resolution No. 2021-05-11-1208.
The project list was subsequently approved by the CTC.
SB1 funding will be used to resurface approximately 12 centerline miles of various residential and collector roadways citywide (Attachment A). The project includes slurry seal, removal and replacement of pavement striping and legends, and removal and replacement of failed pavement areas. Slurry seal is a mixture of water, asphalt emulsion, finely crushed rock, and additives applied in a thin layer to an asphalt pavement surface. This treatment seals the surface and extends the roadway’s life expectancy by at least five years.
The list of roads for this project was developed from the City of Stockton Pavement Management System. Roadways with a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ranging between 65 and 80 are suitable for this treatment. The Local Street Resurfacing Program FY 2021-22 SB1 - Slurry Seal, Project No.
WT22003, was included in the 2021-26 Five-Year CIP.
On July 26, 2016, Council adopted a Community Workforce and Training Agreement (CWTA). The CWTA became effective August 25, 2016, and applies to all Public Works projects over $1 million that are bid after that date. On July 16, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-07-16-1403, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2024. The CWTA was not applied to this project because the engineer’s estimate was under $1 million.
Present Situation
On April 20, 2022, the Local Street Resurfacing Program FY 2021-22 SB1 - Slurry Seal, Project No.
WT22003, was advertised for bids. On May 12, 2022, three bids were received with the following results:
COMPANY NAME BID AMOUNT
Pavement Coatings Co. (Sacramento, CA) $698,275
Dryco Construction, Inc. (Sacramento, CA) $744,185
VSS International, Inc. (West Sacramento, CA) $861,165
Engineer’s Estimate $679,835
City of Stockton Page 2 of 3 Printed on 7/20/2022

File #: 22-0595, Version: 1
The requirements of Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) section 3.68.090, Local Business Preference, apply to this project. Application of the Local Business Preference has no effect on the bid order, as no local firms bid on the project.
The bid from Pavement Coatings Co., the lowest responsive bidder, is regular in all respects.
Pavement Coatings Co. has the proper license to perform the work. Staff recommends Council approve the plans and specifications for the project and award a Construction Contract to Pavement Coatings Co. of Sacramento, CA, in the amount of $698,275.
The project is in conformance with the City’s General Plan, pursuant to California Government Code, section 65402, and is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA as specified under Section 15301(c) of the CEQA guidelines. As a result, the project has been granted a Categorical Exemption. The activities related to this project constitute a discretionary project under the City’s jurisdiction and qualifies as a project that does not have a significant effect on the environment. The resolution will approve the filing of Notice of Exemption No. NOE17-22 under CEQA. Construction is anticipated to begin in early summer 2022 and to be completed by fall 2022, weather permitting.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
RMRA funding in the amount of $3,850,000 was approved by Council on May 11, 2021, and allocated to the Local Street Resurfacing Program FY 2021-22 SB1, Project No. WT22003, Account No. 4570- 715-800007-240-241-30-45-000-000. There is sufficient funding to award a Construction Contract to Pavement Coatings Co. in the amount of $698,275.
There is no impact to the City’s General Fund or any other unrestricted fund as a result of taking the recommended actions.

It shall be a requirement under this agreement that any available insurance proceeds broader than or in excess of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or limits shall be available to the Additional Insured.
Furthermore, the requirements for coverage and limits shall be (1) the minimum coverage and limits specified in this Agreement; or (2) the broader coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy or proceeds available to the named Insured; whichever is greater.
The Additional Insured coverage under the CONTRACTOR’s policy shall be “primary and non-contributory” and will not seek contribution from the City of Stockton’s insurance or self-insurance and shall be at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13.
The limits of insurance required in this agreement 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 of Stockton (if agreed to in a written contract or agreement) before the City of Stockton’s own insurance or selfinsurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
All self-insured retentions (SIR) must be disclosed to the CITY’s Risk Management for approval and shall not reduce the limits of liability. Payment Bond in the amount of the self-insured retention (SIR) may be required.
Policies containing any self-insured retention (SIR) provision shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the SIR may be satisfied by either the named insured or the CITY.
The CITY reserves the right to obtain a full certified copy of any insurance policy and endorsements.
Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of right to exercise later.
CONTRACTOR shall maintain insurance as required by this contract to the fullest amount allowed by law and shall maintain insurance for a minimum of five years following the completion of this project. In the event contractor fails to obtain or maintain completed operations coverage as required by this agreement, the City at its sole discretion may purchase the coverage required and the cost will be paid by contractor.
CONTRACTOR agrees to include with all Subcontractors in their subcontract the same requirements and provisions of this agreement including the indemnity and insurance requirements to the extent they apply to the scope of the Subcontractor’s work.
Subcontractors hired by CONTRACTOR agree to be bound to CONTRACTOR and the CITY in the same manner and to the same extent as CONTRACTOR is bound to the CITY under the Contract Documents. Subcontractor further agrees to include these same EXHIBIT 2 Page 2 of 53
Local Construction Contract – PAVEMENT COATINGS CO. – PROJECT NO. WT22003 (Updated 12/31/20)
provisions with any Sub-subcontractor. A copy of the CITY Contract Document Indemnity and Insurance provisions will be furnished to the Subcontractor upon request. The General CONTRACTOR shall require all sub-contractors to provide a valid certificate of insurance and the required endorsements included in the agreement prior to commencement of any work and contractor will provide proof of compliance to the City.
4. INDEMNITY AND HOLD HARMLESS. With the exception that this section shall in no event be construed to require indemnification by Contractor to a greater extent than permitted under the public policy of the State of California, Contractor shall indemnify, protect, defend with counsel approved by City and at Contractor’s sole cost and expense, and hold harmless City, its Mayor, Council, officials, representatives, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, judgments, awards, losses, liens, claims, stop notices, damages, expenses, and costs (including without limitation attorneys’ fees, expert and consultant fees, and other expenses of litigation) of every nature, including, but not limited to, death or injury to persons, or damage to property, which arise out of or are in any way connected with the work performed, materials furnished, or services provided under this Agreement, or from any violation of any federal, State, or municipal law or ordinance, or City Policy, by Contractor or Contractor’s officers, agents, employees, volunteers or subcontractors.
Contractor shall not be obligated to indemnify or defend City for claims finally determined by a court of law or arbitrator to arise from the active negligence or willful misconduct of the City. It is the intent of the Parties that this indemnity obligation is at least as broad as is permitted under California law. To the extent California Civil Code sections 2782, et seq., limit the defense or indemnity obligations of Contractor to City, the intent hereunder is to provide the maximum defense and indemnity obligations allowed by Contractor under the law. The indemnity set forth in this section shall not be limited by insurance requirements or by any other provision of this Agreement.
With exception that this section shall in no event be construed to require indemnification, including the duty to defend, by Contractor to a greater extent than permitted under the public policy of the State of California, the parties agree that Contractor’s duty to defend City is immediate and arises upon the filing of any claim against the City for damages which arise out of or are in any way connected with the work performed, materials furnished, or services provided under this Agreement by Contractor or Contractor’s officers, agents, employees, volunteers or subcontractors. Contractor’s duties and obligations to defend the City shall apply regardless of whether or not the issue of the City’s liability, breach of this Agreement, or other obligation or fault has been determined.
Contractor shall be immediately obligated to pay for City’s defense costs of the claim, including, but not limited to, court costs, attorney’s fees and costs, expert consultant and witness fees and costs, other witness fees, document reproduction costs, arbitration fees, and, if after final judgment an appeal is pursued, all of such costs for the appeal.
At the conclusion of the claim, if there is any determination or finding of sole active negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the City, City will then reimburse Contractor for amounts paid in excess of Contractor’s proportionate share of EXHIBIT 2 Page 3 of 53
Local Construction Contract – PAVEMENT COATINGS CO. – PROJECT NO. WT22003 (Updated 12/31/20)
responsibility for the damages within 30 days after Contractor provides City with copies of all bills and expenses incurred in the defense of the claim(s). It is agreed between the parties that this reimbursement provision assures Contractor is not obligated to defend or indemnify City in an amount greater than provided for under California law, including, without limitation, California Civil Code sections 2782, 2782.6, and 2782.8.
With the exception that this section shall in no event be construed to require indemnification by Contractor to a greater extent than permitted under the public policy of the State of California, and in addition to the other indemnity obligations in this Agreement, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City, its Mayor, Council, officials, representatives, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against all claims, losses, expenses, and costs including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, arising out of any claim brought against the City by an employee, office, agent, or volunteer of Contractor, regardless of whether such claim may be covered by any applicable workers compensation insurance. Contractor’s indemnification obligation is not limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits payable by or for the Contractor under workers’ compensation acts, disability acts, or other employee benefit acts.
The City’s acceptance of the insurance certificates required under this Agreement does not relieve the CONTRACTOR from its obligation under this paragraph. The indemnification obligations of this section shall survive the termination of this agreement.
Any exceptions to this language may result in a proposal being deemed non-responsive.
CONTRACTOR/Subcontractor's responsibility for such defense and indemnity obligations shall survive the termination or completion of this agreement for the full period of time allowed by law.
The defense and indemnification obligations of this agreement are undertaken in addition to, and shall not in any way be limited by, the insurance obligations contained in this agreement. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this indemnification is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this indemnification.
5. STANDARD PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. The performance of said work and the furnishing of said materials shall be executed in accordance with Section 8-
1.04B of the City of Stockton Standard Specifications and Plans as adopted on September 27, 2016, by Council Resolution No. 2016-09-27-1213, effective September 27, 2016, and the provisions of the issued project specifications.
The Director of Public Works will furnish CONTRACTOR a weekly statement showing the number of days charged to the contract for the preceding week, the number of days specified for completion of the contract, and the number of days remaining to complete the contract. CONTRACTOR will be allowed one (1) week in which to file a written protest EXHIBIT 2 Page 4 of 53
Local Construction Contract – PAVEMENT COATINGS CO. – PROJECT NO. WT22003 (Updated 12/31/20)
setting forth in what respects said weekly statement is incorrect, otherwise the statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by CONTRACTOR as correct.
6. WORKING DAYS. This work shall be diligently prosecuted to completion before the expiration of 25 WORKING DAYS beginning on the tenth calendar day after the date shown on the Notice to Proceed. It is agreed by the parties to the contract that in case all the work called for under the contract in all parts and requirements, is not finished or completed within the number of days as set forth, damage will be sustained by the CITY, and that it is and will be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual damage which CITY will sustain in the event of and by reason of such delay; and it is therefore agreed that CONTRACTOR will pay to CITY the sum of FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($4000) per day for each and every calendar day's delay in finishing the work in excess of the number of days prescribed; and CONTRACTOR agrees to pay said liquidated damages as herein provided, and in case the same are not paid, agrees that CITY, may deduct the amount thereof from any monies due or that may become due CONTRACTOR under the contract.
