AGENDA STAFF REPORT
City of West Covina | Office of the City Manager
DATE: August 18, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Milan Mrakich, City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF EXTENSIONS TO TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND LEASE AGREEMENTS WITH MV TRANSPORTATION, INC.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the amendments in such final form as approved by the City Attorney.

2. BACKGROUND:

The City's current public transit service consists of a fixed route shuttle system and a demand response Dial-A-Ride (DAR) service. The fixed route service consists of a single alignment, the Green Line, operating Monday - Friday, from 6:30 a.m. to 6:25 p.m. (North) and 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (South) provided by MV Transportation, Inc. (MVT). Each direction is served by a single vehicle with a 30-minute headway. The DAR operates Monday-Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Four vehicles are dedicated to the program.

On June 18, 2024, the City Council approved a 12-month pilot microtransit project that serves over half of the area of the City. Go West Covina launched on November 18, 2024. In October 2025, the City Council approved extending the Go West Covina service through June 2027.

The underperforming Fixed Route Red and Blue lines were discontinued on February 1, 2025, as the area they served was covered by the microtransit program. The Dial-A-Ride and Green Line services have not changed. To address the City's desire to provide real-time information, MVT installed in-vehicle technology for the Green Line vehicles. The technology provides real-time bus tracking data for riders via a mobile phone application. The platform, TripShot, has iOS and Android mobile applications.

DISCUSSION:

Current agreements with MVT are set to expire on September 2, 2026. Staff requested a proposal from MVT for a status quo service level, which includes the Green Line and Dial-A-Ride, for a term of one (1) year. The cost proposal is attached. (Attachment No. 1).

Staff recommends that the City Council approve amendments to the Transportation Services Agreement and Lease Agreement with MVT, extending the terms for one (1) year, through September 2, 2027, and authorize the City Manager to the amendments in such final form as approved by the City Attorney.

With both transit providers under contract, staff will work to develop a request for proposals for the procurement of transportation services with a target start date of July 1, 2027.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the amendments and approved them as to form.

OPTIONS:

The City Council has the following options:

1. Approve staff's recommendation; or

2. Provide alternative direction.

Fiscal Impact
FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposal from MVT, for the term September 2026 - September 2027, is for an amount not to exceed $1,479,750. There is sufficient funding to cover this Not-To-Exceed amount within the appropriated program budget. Transit services are funded with Proposition C Local Returns. The approved FY 2026-2027 budget for the shuttle and dial-a-ride services is summarized in the table below.

Program Account FY 2026-2027 Budget
Shuttle 122.504.61.53.29.61.61.61200 655,000
122.504.61.53.29.62.61.61200 460,000
Subtotal - Shuttle $1,115,000
Dial-A-Ride 122.504.61.53.30.00.61.61200 400,000
Subtotal - Dial A Ride $ 400,000
Total Program Budget $1,515,000
Contract Limit $1,479,750
Budget Balance $ 35,250
The months of July and August will be billed at rates under the current amendment. At this time, it is expected the budget will be sufficient to cover costs in Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Staff will return with a budget amendment later in the fiscal year, if necessary.

This program is funded by Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Proposition C (Fund 122), which may only be used for transportation-related purposes. Additionally, extension of the lease agreement will result in $3,000 per month or $36,000 annually in General Fund revenue.

DATE: August 18, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Milan Mrakich, City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT

WITH SAN GABRIEL VALLEY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT FOR HOMELESS

PROGRAMS AND ASSOCIATED BUDGET AMENDMENT
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute related documents and future amendments; and

2. 3. Adopt the following Resolution:

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-89 – A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR COMMENCING JULY 1, 2026 AND ENDING JUNE 30, 2027 (SGV COG -

MEASURE A LSF)
BACKGROUND:

In November 2024, Los Angeles County voters approved Measure A, a countywide ½ cent sales tax that replaced Measure H. Measure A is expected to generate over $1 billion annually to maintain existing homeless housing and services to support people currently experiencing homelessness in finding permanent solutions and expanding efforts to prevent homelessness in LA County.

Measure A requires at least 15% (or approximately $96.3 million) of the Comprehensive Homelessness Services funds to be allocated to the Local Solutions Fund (LSF) to support cities, Councils of Governments, and unincorporated areas. The LSF distribution uses a formula based on the point-in-time count required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and/or similar measures of people experiencing homelessness, as determined by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (LACoBOS).

Based on the formula approved by the LACoBOS, the City of West Covina's FY 2026-27 allocation is $273,182. Along with $170,146 carried over from FY 2025-26, the City will have a total of $443,328 available in FY 2026-27. The City is a subrecipient of the funds through the County’s contract with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG), which is responsible for complying with all the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG), which is responsible for complying with all the terms and conditions of Measure including reporting and progress on meeting metrics. The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) sets forth use and reporting obligations for the City as a recipient of the subrecipient funding (Attachment No. 2).

DISCUSSION:

The City of West Covina has opted to receive an LSF allocation as a subrecipient to utilize for the purposes set forth in Measure A within its jurisdiction rather than participate with the SGVCOG on a regional basis. The SGVCOG has reviewed the City’s proposal on the use of funds and agreed that City may be a subrecipient of the LSF.

The funds will support providing Interim Housing for Persons Experiencing Homelessness (PEH) through a motel voucher program and beds provided through the Los Angeles Center for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (LA CADA). Funding will also support LA CADA's operation and administration of the existing program that provides Case Management and Outreach Services for Clients with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and/or Severe Mental Illness (SMI).

On March 19, 2024, the City Council approved extending the term of the agreement with LA CADA for four years. LA CADA provides case management and supportive services, with the goal of stabilizing participants and moving PEH into permanent housing.

The SGVCOG is proposing to amend the agreement so that it is consistent with the recent amendment to its agreement with the County. Relevant provisions of the proposed amendment include:

Increases the maximum reimbursement amount from $338,802 to $509,634. This amount includes the $66,306 expended by the City in FY 25-26 and the $443,328 that the City can expend for FY 26-27.

1. Provides that the SGVCOG will retain $104,635 of the City's allocation to implement the SGV Home Renter Protection and Homelessness Prevention Program through the SGVCOG's contracted service provider (God's Pantry).

2. 3. Updates certain invoicing and reporting deadlines.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney's Office will review and approve the final form of the amendment prior to execution.

OPTIONS:

The City Council has the following options:

1. Approve the staff recommendation; or

2. Provide alternative direction.

Prepared by: Kelly McDonald, Assistant to the City Manager Fiscal Impact
FISCAL IMPACT:

Measure A Local Solutions Funding is paid out on a reimbursement basis. The maximum amount available for reimbursement to the City in FY 2026-2027 is $443,328. The attached Budget Amendment allocates these funds.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-90 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST

COVINA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR COMMENCING JULY 1, 2026 AND ENDING JUNE 30, 2027 (TRANSTECH ENGINEERS) BACKGROUND:

Historically, the City of West Covina provided Engineering services through a fully staffed Engineering Division of the Public Works Department. In 2015, the City hired Willdan as its contract Traffic Engineer to oversee traffic issues and improvements. In June 2018, upon the resignation of the Public Works Director/City Engineer, the City contracted with Willdan to manage the Public Works Department.

In November 2018, City Hall was reorganized to eliminate the Public Works Department and create the Community Development Department (Building, Economic Development, Engineering, and Planning) and the Public Services Department (Community Services and Public Works Maintenance). At that time, the City contracted with Willdan to serve as its contract City Engineer. In June 2019, as part of the discussions on the Fiscal Year 2019-20 Budget, it was determined that the remaining Engineering Division positions would be eliminated (vacant and filled positions) and an Engineering consultant firm would be contracted to provide all Engineering services for the City. In October 2023, the City Council approved the reorganization of City departments, including re-establishing the Public Works Department. The Engineering Division remained within the Community Development Department.

Currently, the City's Engineering Division services are provided by Transtech, Inc. (Transtech) with one City staff member serving as the CIP Project Manager (since June 2024). Transtech has provided the City's engineering, traffic engineering, grant writing, and administrative engineering services since September 2019. On September 3, 2024, the City Council approved extending the agreement with Transtech on a month-to-month basis to provide the City with sufficient time to complete a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process.

DISCUSSION:

On February 18, 2026, the City posted an RFP for City Engineering services, Traffic Engineering services, Grant Writing/Administration services, and On-Call General Engineering services on PlanetBids. On March 5, 2026, the City received proposals from the following five consultant firms:

AYCE Consulting Engineers, Inc. (AYCE)
Mulholland Consulting Group, Inc.

TKE Engineering, Inc.

Transtech Engineers, Inc.

Z & K Consultants, Inc.

The proposals from Transtech, Z&K, TKE, AYCE, and Mulholland are included as Attachments Nos. 1-5, respectively.

These proposals were reviewed by the CIP Project Manager and Purchasing Manager, who determined that all five proposers met the criteria outlined in the Request for Proposals (RFP) posted on PlanetBids and therefore invited all five consultants to participate in an interview. With the assistance of the City’s Purchasing Manager, an email was sent to each of the five consultants inviting them to participate in the interviews.

The Purchasing Manager subsequently provided the panel members with the Bidder Information List, Non-Disclosure and Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form, and the Scope of Services from the RFP. On the day of the interviews, the CIP Project Manager met with the interview panel and provided each panel member with a physical copy of the RFP, the consultants’ proposals, and the interview materials.

The interview materials included seven (7) questions, a section for comments, and a ranking table used to rank each consultant. Following the interviews, the CIP Project Manager met with the panel members to discuss their observations and feedback regarding each consultant. The CIP Project Manager collected all completed scoring sheets and comments. Based on the panel’s evaluations, Transtech received the highest overall rank among the five consultants.

The interviews were evaluated based on the question topics and corresponding rank outlined in the following table:

Question Topic Maximum Points
Resource Management 5
Grant Expertise 5
Brownfield Redevelopment 5
Sustainability and Compliance 5
Community Engagement and Stakeholder 5
FEMA Funding and Disaster Recovery 5
City Engineering Availability 5
Total Score 35 = 100%
The following table indicates the rankings of each firm:

Vendor Ranking
Transtech, Inc. 5
Z & K Consultants, Inc. 4
TKE Engineering, Inc. 3
AYCE Consulting Engineers, Inc. 2
Mulholland Consulting Group, Inc. 1
The panel determined that Transtech (highest ranked) was the most qualified firm with the ability to fulfill the City's engineering services needs. Among the firms interviewed, Transtech received the highest overall ranking due to its demonstrated technical expertise, staffing, experience in local government, and understanding of the City's operational needs. Transtech demonstrated the strongest overall understanding of the City's needs and provided the most comprehensive responses during the interview process.

The proposed City Engineer, Ahmad Ansari, brings more than 32 years of engineering and public sector experience. He previously served as the Public Works Director/City Engineer for the City of Moreno Valley and the City of Rialto, the Public Works Director for the City of Perris, and has also served as a City Manager. Mr. Ansari is a licensed civil engineer with extensive experience managing municipal infrastructure, public works operations, and capital improvement programs.

Transtech employs over 200 professionals, providing the capacity and flexibility to maintain uninterrupted service, even in cases of staff illness or extended absences, ensuring project deadlines are met. In addition, Transtech employs experienced grant writers with a track record of identifying funding opportunities, preparing grant applications, and securing grand funding to support municipal projects.

2. PROJECT SUMMARY SECTION
Technical Proposal 3

CITY ENGINEERING, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING, GRANT WRITING/ADMINISTRATION, ON-CALL GENERAL ENGINEERING SERVICES Budget/CIP (Capital Improvement Plan)
Capital Improvement Program (Reference Source: City Web-Site) The City of West Covina develops a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that consists of and extensive list of projects necessary to maintain and improve the City’s infrastructure. The City defines a CIP as having (1) a capital asset with a minimum dollar value of $45,000, and (2) an estimated useful life of three years or more. A multiyear CIP is necessary because it is impossible to fund all capital projects immediately. To meet the City’s needs, it is imperative that the City continues to plan and strategize how it will allocate limited financial resources for capital projects.

The CIP should not be confused with the capital improvement budget. The capital improvement budget represents the first year of the CIP that is reviewed and adopted by the City Council. It authorizes specific projects and appropriates specific funding for those projects.

Projects and funding sources listed in the CIP for years other than year one (commonly called “out years”) are not authorized until the annual budget for those years is adopted by the City Council. The “out years” serve only as aguide for future planning and are subject to further review and modification in subsequent years. The City Council adopts a five-year CIP to provide a standard by which to:

1. Prioritize the increased needs of the City

2. Analyze the various funding sources

3. Match, as appropriate, the funds to the various needs

4. Plan to meet the City’s capital needs over an extended period, as funding becomes available.

5. Help to eliminate deficiencies, yet accommodate changing priorities while progressing toward a goal The CIP has been developed with the combined input from the City Council and City staff. Requests are submitted to a committee of City staff members to review along with justifications, suggested funding source(s) and associated costs including any ongoing operating costs. The projects are categorized as City Wi de, Building, General, Parks, Regional, Sewer, Streets, or Traffic.

They are assessed based on the funding availability and the needs and priorities of the City, then presented to the City Council for consideration and approval. Projects not funded in the current fiscal year are put in “out years.” Conversely, during the budget year there may be additional CIP projects approved by the City Council that were unforeseen during the budget adoption process.

CITY ENGINEERING, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING, GRANT WRITING/ADMINISTRATION, ON-CALL GENERAL ENGINEERING SERVICES Customer Care and Responsive Service Approach:
✓ Our services are founded on the principals of Total Quality Management for Total Customer Care and Satisfaction. ✓ All telephone calls or e-mails received are returned within the same working day, or the following day. We take pride in our “Same Day Response” motto.
✓ Transtech also provides a 24-hour emergency contact number to its clients. ✓ Customer Care means highest quality customer service. Transtech is committed to providing “Customer Care” to the City, City's patrons, including responding quickly and effectively to the walk-in, telephone, and electronic inquiries of the public related to our services. Responsiveness is an integral part of Transtech’s “Customer Care” service approach.

✓ Responsiveness is an integral part of Transtech’s “customer friendly” service approach. While our service is always on an “as needed” basis, our responsiveness is on “full-time” basis. ✓ Transtech understands the importance of being able to expedite certain projects, when requested, by the City.

Structured Approach: We have a structured approach to execute projects in an efficient manner that makes Transtech capable of providing the City with an efficient and quality product. Transtech has established guidelines and policies, including written manuals on quality control, project management, and design procedures for its staff and for its contract cities. These guidelines ensure a consistent approach to the execution of assignments undertaken by our organization in compliance with City’s specific procedures, standards and requirements. The following paragraphs describe our general approach to deliver projects in an efficient and cost-effective manner. A project specific approach will be provided for each assigned project and will become part of the specific contract for the specific project. • Project Management: Our approach is to provide proactive management and attempt to identify potential issues and problems in advance and take corrective actions before they become problems. This requires extensive handson knowledge, experience and management skills of the people involved in managing the project. Our team members have extensive experience and proven track record in managing large and complex projects and bringing them to a completion on time and within budget.
• Approach to Cost Control and Change Orders: We evaluate project costs and develop feasible mitigation measures to minimize additional costs. We work as a team to solve problems or make modifications in the field to address unforeseen conditions or owner generated changes in a cost-effective manner. • Approach to Scheduling and Timely Completion of Project and Schedule Recovery: The baseline schedule should properly identify the project scope, critical path, project milestones, target dates, phases and sequences of work, and activity durations. When significant activities show that they are slipping from the baseline, we work with the contractor to develop recovery plans.
• Management of Documents: We use an electronic file management system. All construction forms, daily dairies, weekly statement of working days, etc. are stored in our electronic file system, and are per Caltrans documentation system. We provide these documents at the end of the project to the client in organized files as well as pdf files. • Safety and Security: We hold meetings with the contractor to review and discuss safety and security requirements, OSHA conformance, emergency security and safety procedures, and enforce security and safety responsibilities. • Funding Closeout: We prepare necessary closeout documentation required by the funding agencies, submit final reimbursement documentation, follow-up on the reimbursements, and final funds balance report. • Project Closeout: We recognize that closeout is an important part of the construction process. It signifies that the new facility structure is ready to use. We methodically handle all closeout tasks to ensure a smooth transition from construction to occupancy.
• Methodology for Communication to Inform City on Work Progress: Key project team members will attend periodic project progress meetings with City staff throughout the project duration. • Electronic common project information and file sharing platform: We create and provide access to project participants a common project information and file sharing platform.

Coordination with City: Key project team members will attend periodic project progress meetings with City staff throughout the project duration. We will establish and maintain a close working relationship with City staff. We will manage assigned projects, carefully control costs and resources, and complete assigned work on schedule. We will provide progress reports to the City at regular intervals.

Expediting Projects: Transtech understands the importance of being able to expedite tasks when requested by the City.

Transtech has sufficient staff and resources to expedite projects.

CIP Management: Transtech manages Capital Project Programs and maintains CIP Matrix and Schedule for various

3. METHODOLOGY SECTION
Technical Proposal 11

CITY ENGINEERING, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING, GRANT WRITING/ADMINISTRATION, ON-CALL GENERAL ENGINEERING SERVICES contract Cities. The CIP Matrix includes detailed tracking information for each CIP, as well as a high-level project schedule status in bar chart format for various project phases. The CIP Matrix is updated frequently, and project status is presented to City Management at management meetings, as well as to City Council when directed by the City Management.

Project Schedules: Transtech has a proven track record for completing projects on time. Part of our role as Project Managers is to develop, review, update and manage the project schedules and confirm that tasks are scheduled within reasonable and appropriate timeframes. We constantly review, monitor and update the schedule to confirm it is in compliance with the original schedule and that related coordination with external/3rd parties/regulatory agencies/utility companies, etc. are on track. If the look ahead schedule is not in compliance with the original schedule, we take appropriate actions to avoid potential delays. Our approach to Scheduling and Timely Completion of Project and Schedule Recovery includes having the contractor prepare a baseline schedule, which identifies the project scope, critical path, project milestones, target dates, phases and sequences of work, and activity durations. When significant activities show that they are slipping from the baseline, we work with the contractor to develop recovery plans.

Contract Administration Approach (Caltrans LAPM): For construction contract administration, we follow guidelines described in Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM).

DB (Design-Built) Delivery: Transtech has extensive experience in managing DB Projects in compliance with CA Public Contract Code, CHAPTER 4. Local Agency Design-Build Projects.

Project Controls: Our staff has experience with various document control software systems including Procore, Autodesk ConstructWare (which has now become Construction Cloud), and Primavera P6. In our experience all major control software programs work basically the same way and adapting from one software offering to another has a fairly small learning curve. Because the specific software is generally a choice made by the prime contractor, our staff is ready to partner with any user of any program. That said, not all projects require the ‘fire power’ associated with an expensive, sophisticated control system. Sometimes an intelligently designed filing system that stores basic Word, Excel, PDF, and email documents in the cloud is all a project really needs.

Project Control System: Transtech has developed its in-house Project Control Procedures and System, follow guidelines similar to what is described in Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM). Following is the link to Transtech’s Project Control Procedures and System:

Plan Check Processing: When a plan check order is received, it is logged and reviewed by Building Staff and then assigned to applicable plan checkers. The plan check duration is monitored thru the plan check log data base, which generates messages at identified intervals to inform plan checkers and supervising Sr. Staff so that they are aware of how the progress and status continuously. If any potential delay is monitored, necessary steps are taken, such as meeting with plan checker to review the schedule, workload, performance, and identify actions, including assigning additional staff, if necessary, to ensure timely completion of assignment.

Plan Check Coordination: Our plan checkers respond to questions from the architect, engineer, designer, applicant, etc.

When requested, our plan checkers also meet with the architect, engineer, designer, applicant, etc. at our offices to answer questions or for rechecks.

These grants not only reflect our technical proficiency in preparing competitive applications but also our deep understanding of the City’s transportation needs and our commitment to securing the necessary resources to address them. Our successful track record underscores our role as a proactive partner in advancing West Covina’s infrastructure goals. Moreover, our work is far from finished. We currently have an additional $7.4 million in grant applications in progress, which, if successful, will further bolster our ability to implement transformative transportation projects within the City. These efforts are part of our ongoing commitment to securing the funding necessary to support West Covina’s vision for a safer, more connected, and more resilient community. In total Transtech has applied for $20.9 million in grant funding on behalf of the City.

"property damage" or "personal injury"; and
b. If, and only to the extent that, the injury or
damage is caused by acts or omissions of you
or your subcontractor in the performance of
"your work" to which the "written contract
requiring insurance" applies, or in connection
with premises owned by or rented to you.

The person or organization does not qualify as an
additional insured:
c. With respect to the independent acts or
omissions of such person or organization; or
d. For "bodily injury", "property damage" or
"personal injury" for which such person or
organization has assumed liability in a
contract or agreement.

The insurance provided to such additional insured
is limited as follows:
e. This insurance does not apply on any basis
to any person or organization for which
coverage as an additional insured specifically
is added by another endorsement to this
Coverage Part.
f. This insurance does not apply to the
rendering of or failure to render any
"professional services".

9. In the event that the Limits of Insurance of the
Coverage Part shown in the Declarations
exceed the limits of liability required by the
"written contract requiring insurance", the
insurance provided to the additional insured
shall be limited to the limits of liability required
by that "written contract requiring insurance".

This endorsement does not increase the limits
of insurance described in Section III —Limits
Of Insurance.
h. This insurance does not apply to "bodily injury"
or "property damage" caused by "your work"
and included in the "products-completed
operations hazard" unless the "written
contract requiring insurance" specifically
requires you to provide such coverage for
that additional insured, and then the
insurance provided to the additional insured
applies only to such "bodily injury" or
"property damage" that occurs before the end
of the period of time for which the "written
contract requiring insurance" requires you to
provide such coverage or the end of the
policy period, whichever is earlier.

2. The following is added to Paragraph 4.a. of
SECTION IV — COMMERCIAL GENERAL
LIABILITY CONDITIONS:

The insurance provided to the additional insured
is excess over any valid and collectible other
insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or
on any other basis, that is available to the
additional insured for a loss we cover. However, if
you specifically agree in the "written contract
requiring insurance" that this insurance provided
to the additional insured under this Coverage Part
must apply on a primary basis or a primary and
non-contributory basis, this insurance is primary to
other insurance available to the additional insured
which covers that person or organizations as a
named insured for such loss, and we will not
share with the other insurance, provided that:
(1) The "bodily injury" or "property damage" for
which coverage is sought occurs; and
(2) The "personal injury" for which coverage is
sought arises out of an offense committed;
after you have signed that "written contract
requiring insurance". But this insurance provided
to the additional insured still is excess over valid
and collectible other insurance, whether primary,
excess, contingent or on any other basis, that is
available to the additional insured when that
person or organization is an additional insured
under any other insurance.

COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY

3. The following is added to Paragraph 8., Transfer
Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us,
of SECTION IV — COMMERCIAL GENERAL
LIABILITY CONDITIONS:

We waive any right of recovery we may have
against any person or organization because of
payments we make for "bodily injury", "property
damage" or "personal injury" arising out of "your
work" performed by you, or on your behalf, done
under a "written contract requiring insurance" with
that person or organization. We waive this right
only where you have agreed to do so as part of
the "written contract requiring insurance" with
such person or organization signed by you
before, and in effect when, the "bodily injury" or
"property damage" occurs, or the "personal
injury" offense is committed.

4. The following definition is added to the
DEFINITIONS Section:
"Written contract requiring insurance" means that
part of any written contract under which you are
required to include a person or organization as an
additional insured on this Coverage Part,
provided that the "bodily injury" and "property
damage" occurs and the "personal injury" is
caused by an offense committed:
a. After you have signed that written contract;
b. While that part of the written contract is in
effect; and
c. Before the end of the policy period.
