DAHLIN
Making Institutional
Buildings Assets
Municipal and institutional facilities
are the backbone of a healthy and
vibrant community, empowered to
achieve economic competitiveness.
DAHLIN works with city councils
and planning commissions as
well as other institutional leaders,
operators and managers to design
sustainable, long-lasting, and
vibrant institutional buildings..
DAHLIN has a diverse portfolio that
includes a wide variety of municipal
projects from recreation facilities
to administration offices for both
renovation/modernizations and new
construction. Our services include
building analysis, programming, site
analysis, feasibility studies, and design.
DAHLIN works closely with municipal
staff, leaders, owners, operators
and managers to ensure that new
or renovated buildings meet current
and future needs, are sustainable,
and contextually appropriate.
CROSS-POLLINATION:
PLANNING AND COMMERCIAL
DAHLIN has long offered both
architecture and planning services
under one roof. The future architecture
of a community, Loth the residential
and commercial components, shapes its
design just as much as a community's
design dictates its architecture.
Our planners provide their expertise
on all of our architectural projects, so
that you have the person best suited
to a particular task providing their
expertise. Conversely, our planning
staff includes trained architects who
can apply their practical architectural
experience toward creating a more
feasible and buildable land plan
than that created by a planning firm
staffed by land planners alone.
Complementing the breadth and depth
of DAHLIN's municipal portfolio is
our portfolio of commercial and office
projects. Our commercial work provides
inspiration for revenue generating
features that when translated to
a municipal facility helps balance
operational costs. It also requires us to
provide the best "bang for the buck"
in a very competitive marketplace.
We understand where the cost
benefit is and provide it for our
clients, whether it is in the basic
program and facility layout or cost-
effective construction detailing. Our
goal is to make the perceived value
significantly more than the actual
cost. And we know the difference.
STAFFING
Throughout the course of the entire
project, from design, bid, construction
and past opening day, DAHLIN will
combine access to our staff with
our expert technical knowledge
to become your trusted advisor
and preferred consultant.

Page 14 of 17
City following receipt of proof of insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review
but in no event less than $1 Million per occurrence.
Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions Insurance as appropriate shall be
written on a policy form coverage specifically designed to protect against acts, errors or
omissions of the consultant and "Covered Professional Services" as designated in the
policy must include work performed under this agreement. The policy limit shall be no
less than $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. The policy must "pay on behalf of
the insured and must include a provision establishing the insurer's duty to defend the
Named Insured. The policy retroactive date shall be on or before the effective date of this
agreement.
Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers
that are admitted carriers in the state of California and with an A.M. Bests rating of A- or
better and a minimum financial size VII.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant.
Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Consultant:
Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third -party general liability
coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials,
employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 (or
otherwise consistent with the insurer's endorsement). Consultant also
agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees, or agents, from waiving the
right of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation
rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds,
and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or
applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the
policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement
relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance
coverage.
4. 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 City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve
to eliminate so-called "third party action over' claims, including any
exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor
or subcontractor.
RHA Landscape Architects -Planners, Inc.
Page 15 of 17
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification
and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall
not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination 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
certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an
additional insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, 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 Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at
City option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City
of any cancellation of coverage. A ten (10) day notice to City shall apply to
nonpayment of premiums. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify
such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the
insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that
any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the
requirements of the certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance
coverage (except Professional Liability and Workers' Compensation)
required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to
apply first and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other
insurance or self-insurance available to City.
10. Consultant agrees to ensure that 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 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 subcontractors and others engaged in
the project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Consultant 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
RHA Landscape Architects -Planners, Inc.
Page 16 of 17
of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self -insure its
obligations to City. If Consultant's existing coverage includes a deductible
or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be
declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the
Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or
self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
12. 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
Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such
change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City will
negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to
City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be
deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking
any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards
performance of this Agreement.
14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on
the part of City to inform Consultant 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.
15. Consultant 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. Termination of this
obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that
effect.
16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein
expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced
with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such
coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A
coverage binder or letter from Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is
acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured
endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing
or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration
of the coverages.
17. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Consultant under this agreement. Consultant expressly
agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with
respect to City, its employees, officials and agents.
RHA Landscape Architects -Planners, Inc.
Page 17 of 17
18. Requirements of specific coverage features, or limits contained in this
section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other
requirements nor 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 limiting or all inclusive.
19. 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. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and
provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision
conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section.
21. Consultant 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 Consultant 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.
Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against
Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no
obligation or liability by such notice but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the
handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve
