Reminder 2: Bid due date is not changed. Bid due date is 10:30 AM, on February 14, 2024. This Addendum l issues responses to the following questions received: Question 1: Is the Bidder to assume that the extracted waste from pre -installation catch basin cleaning is to be non -hazardous for cost estimating purposes? If the extracted waste is determined to be a hazardous, please either confirm that a change order would be issued to additionally compensate the Contractor, or add a separate line item for the disposal of hazardous waste. Response 1: Encountering hazardous waste within a catch basin would be considered unforeseen. If hazardous waste is encountered, it would be a contract change order. Phase I of this catch basin upgrade did not encounter any hazardous waste within catch basins that were retrofitted. Question 2: Builder's Risk Insurance (Exhibit B, pdf page 45)-- Please confirm if Builder's Risk Insurance is indeed required for this project as this would be an additional cost to Bidders. This type of coverage is typically intended to cover the course of construction on a building or new structure. Response 2: Builder's Risk Insurance is confirmed to be required per the City of Rosemead's standard insurance requirements listed in Exhibit B. Question 3: Does die city require the ARS devices to be pre -manufactured prior to installation, rather than manufactured on-site? Response 3: ARS's are custom fabricate to fit each catch basin and they have to be manufactured prior to installation. Question 4: Due to manufacturing lead times, it could take up to 6-8 weeks to receive the ARS devices after measurements have been confirmed. Measurements can take 1-2 weeks depending on deficiencies found with the curb inlet structures. Will the city count this lead time against the total allowable working days stated in the RFP? Response 4: Long lead times would not be counted toward project working days as long as the contractor provides sufficient documentation and communication to notify of any long lead time items. Addendmn 1, Page 1 Question 5: Are there any FTC or filtration devices currently installed in the inlets that could interfere with the ARS devices being installed? Response 5: There are no Devices installed. Question 6: Will the city accept an equal or better brand of ARS device other than what is specified in the RFP? Response 6: The ARS devices will need to comply with Los Angeles County of Public Works requirements. Existing LA County permit will need to be amended by submitting the necessary exhibits/shop drawings through EPIC LA for review and approval prior to moving forward with installation of ARS Units. Question 7: Will the City waive the Builders Risk Insurance for this project? Response 7: Please see response to question 2. Question 8: Are any stormwater units within this scope of work located in railroad, bus stop, or other transit right-of-way? Response 8: Coordinates for catch basins are listed on Appendix A of bid Project's Documents. There is no storm water unit located in railroad, bus stop or other transit right-of-way.

Contractor and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Contractor: 1. Contractor agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that Agency and its officers, United Storm Water, Inc. officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insurer under such policies using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010.. Contractor also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise. 2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Contract shall prohibit Contractor, or Contractor's employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Contractor 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 Contract are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Contract or any other Contract relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage. 4. None of the coverage 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. 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. 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 coverage required and an additional insured endorsement to Contractor's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Contract. 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 Contract 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. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Contractor 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. United Storm Water, Inc. 9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Contract that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contractor 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. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other parry 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 Contracts with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. 11. 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 Contract to self -insure its obligations to City. If Contractors 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 Contractor, 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 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. 13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Contract 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 Contract. 14. 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. 15.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 Contract. This obligation applies whether or not the Contract is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect. 16. Contractor shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Contract have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered United Storm Water, Inc. shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Contractor'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 coverage. 17.The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Contractor under this Contract. Contractor 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 Contract 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 Contract to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section. 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 Contract. 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. Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this Contract. 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.
