CC - Item 3D - Approval of Professional Services Agreements For On-Call Engineering ServicesROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER
DATE. JULY 9, 2013
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS FOR
ON -CALL ENGINEERING SERVICES
SUMMARY
The City utilizes professional consultant services for the design of major capital projects
involving street, landscaping, transportation, and utility improvements. As the work load
requires, staff will utilize these firms to perform design services, traffic engineering
studies, public works inspection services, review of private development projects,
geotechnical services, survey work, and special analyses. The attached on -call
professional services agreements will continue to provide the City with the ability to
obtain multiple bids for services on a project by project basis and help ensure efficient
service delivery to the community.
Staff Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the professional services agreements
with the attached engineering services firms to provide as needed on -call professional
services and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreements.
DISCUSSION
On -call agreements allow staff to retain specialized services that are regularly needed
for various projects. Fees for these services are set for a specific period of time and are
typically adjusted annually to account for changes in the Consumer Price Index. Many
cities utilize these types of agreements to help supplement City staff with additional
expertise on large, detailed projects. Staff has worked with several firms to develop on-
call agreements.
The City's Capital Improvement Program budget includes several planned projects that
will require specialized assistance, including sewer capacity enhancements, grant -
funded highway safety improvement projects, NPDES /Storm Water projects,
landscaping /beautification projects and transportation projects, among others. On -call
agreements allow staff to streamline the contracting process and expedite project

delivery for projects. Having a pool of qualified consultants also allows staff to access
competitive rates for professional services.
City Council approval of this item will authorize staff to receive project proposals from
one or more of the selected consultants. Based on the proposals received, staff will
negotiate a project agreement with the most qualified firm. The cost of these services
will then be charged directly to specific project accounts. For recurring engineering
functions (Traffic Commission support, NPDES compliance activities, regular public
works permitting, etc.) the City will be able to use pre- approved rate schedules to
ensure prompt and efficient service delivery. Procurement of services under these on-
call services agreements will continue to adhere to the City's purchasing guidelines.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Costs for professional services will be based on the attached hourly rates for each
consultant and negotiated with staff depending on the services provided. These
agreements do not commit the City to expending a specified amount for professional
services, however, each on -call services agreement shall have a not to exceed value of
$150,000.00 per fiscal year. Funding is provided through several sources — including
transportation funds, grant funds, gas tax funds, and redevelopment bond proceeds.

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.
Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of
any cancellation of coverage. 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.
It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage
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 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.
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
M
ON -CALL ENGINEERING SERVICES
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 City.
