and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of

retentions as respects City or its respective elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and
volunteers or the Consultant shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related
investigations, claim administration, defense expenses and claims. The Consultant agrees that
the requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to
which the Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or
property resulting from the Consultant's activities or the activities of any person or persons for
which the Consultant is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit the Consultant's indemnification
liabilities as provided in Section 5.3.
In the event the Consultant subcontracts any portion of the work in compliance with
Section 4.5 of this Agreement, the contract between the Consultant and such subcontractor shall
require the subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Consultant is
required to maintain pursuant to Section 5.1, and such certificates and endorsements shall be
provided to City.

harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents ("Indemnified Parties") against, and will

administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs,
penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein "claims
or liabilities") that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in
connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein
of Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or
entity for which Consultant is legally liable ("indemnitors"), or arising from Consultant's or
indemnitors' reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Consultant's or indemnitors'
negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this

of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal costs and
attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith;

employees harmless therefrom;

agents or employees, any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or
employees in such action or proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorneys'
fees.
Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if
it fails to do so Consultant shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and
failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This
indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or
omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Consultant in the performance of professional
services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring
as a result of City's sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City's negligence,
except that design professionals' indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities
arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The
indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Consultant and shall survive
termination of this Agreement.

Insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies
qualified to do business in California, rated "A" or better in the most recent edition of Best
Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a
financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager
of the City("Risk Manager") due to unique circumstances. If this Agreement continues for more
than 3 years duration, or in the event the risk manager determines that the work or services to be
performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the
Consultant agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly

Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant
(whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in
dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or
damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by
reason of Consultant's acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant's
obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the
amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which
shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without
liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The
failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the
obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by
any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any
other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this
Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a
waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any
right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be
construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not
be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this
Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party
of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or
different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the
other party.
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in
equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel
specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain
any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections
905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.
7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.
This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided
in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this
Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Consultant,
except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be
such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant
reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60)
days' written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the
period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any
notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as
may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated
termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the
effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer
thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the
Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated
termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the
work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to
this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the
opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.
If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this
Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work
and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable
to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the
compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate
such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off
or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
7.9 Attorneys' Fees.
If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any
action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such
action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or
equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees. Attorney's fees shall include attorney's
fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney's fees shall be entitled to all other
reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other
necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be

not such action is prosecuted to judgment.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
I. Brief description of the work to be performed:
A. Evaluate the condition of all City regulatory, warning, guide, recreational, general
information, and street name signs per the latest edition of the California Manual of
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) and sign retroreflectivity standards;
B. Create a City sign inventory database based on a Geographical Information System
(GIS)Platform; and
C. Prepare a sign-replacement program based on the condition of the sign and its post(s)
in conjunction with a cost estimate.
II. Consultant will perform the following Tasks:
Task 1 —Gather Sign Inventory Information
Consultant will inventory all signs, including regulatory, warning, guide, street name,
recreational, general information, and non-standard traffic signs found along the City-maintained
roadways, parks, and open space. Consultant will gather information for each sign, including all
of the attributes listed in Exhibit A-1. As part of this Task, Consultant will also place metal bar
code plates on each inventoried signed in order to tag each sign with a unique ID.
Sign data collection must be conducted in one direction at a time, in a manner that does
not put City staff or motorists in harm's way and that follows the latest edition of the CA
MUTCD for traffic control.
Task 2—Retro-Reflectivity Assessment
Consultant will evaluate the retro-reflectivity of all signs described in Task 1 using a
RoadVista 922 reflectometer, specifically noting whether each sign meets the retro-reflectivity
requirements in the latest version of CA MUTCD.
Task 3—Development of GIS-Based Sign Inventory Database
Consultant will work with City's GIS staff to develop a GIS-based sign inventory
database and management layer that documents the information gathered in Tasks 1 and 2. The
database will be compatible with the latest version of Microsoft Excel as well as the City's
Geocortex and Cityworks software. The database must be in a form that can be uploaded as a
layer in the City's Esri ArcGIS Server System. Following the upload, Consultant will review the
entire database and check for errors. Data standards and a complete list of the attributes that
must be included in the description of each sign in the GIS layer are included in Exhibit A-1.
Task 4.1 —Sign Inventory Assessment and Recommendations Report
Consultant will produce a detailed itemized Conditions and Cost Estimate Report that
specifies all City signs (including posts and mounting)that require repairs or replacement for any
reason, and provides cost estimates for all such repairs and replacement. The sign replacement
program and cost estimate should be divided into three phases:
Phase 1: Regulatory and warning signs on main arterials and roads;
Phase 2: Regulatory and warning signs on residential streets; and
Phase 3: All guide, recreational, general information, street name signs, and non-standard
signs along the City rights-of-way roads, parks, and open space.
Task 4.2—GIS Layers for Each Sign Replacement Program Phase
Consultant will create separate GIS layers for Phases 1, 2, and 3. These layers may either
be new separate layers or sublayers of the GIS layer created in Task 3.
III. Meetings
In order to facilitate the timely completion of the services and to ensure open and
constructive communication between the parties, Consultant will participate in the following
meetings with the City:
A. Project Kick-Off Meeting: Consultant will provide the meeting agenda and prepare
meeting minutes. This kickoff meeting will serve to define the goals and objectives as
well as confirm expectations on the part of the City and Consultant for the project and
establish lines of communication for the continued progress of the project. Equipment
and data format will be reviewed to ensure compatibility with City's GIS system and
Cityworks software. Bar Code ID and labels, and field inventory procedures, will be
reviewed to ensure that the appropriate data will be collected in the field to properly
develop the field inventory database.
B. Field Review Meeting: At the discretion of the City, parties will meet in the field to
discuss issues with the project.
C. Status Meetings: The parties will both attend a minimum of three (3) status meeting,
which will occur when the work is roughly one-third complete, two-thirds complete,
and fully complete. During these meetings, among other things, Consultant will
update the City on the status of the GIS layer so that any issues can be resolved
before the GIS layer is fully completed.
IV. As part of the Services, Consultant will prepare and deliver the following tangible
work products to the City:
A. Meeting minutes and agendas
B. Field inventory/Sign assessment
C. Bar code all City owned signs
D. Create a GIS layer of all signs
E. Prepare a sign replacement program/cost estimate for each phase in Excel
F. Create separate GIS layers for each sign replacement program phase
V. In addition to the requirements of Section 6.2, during performance of the Services,
Consultant will keep the City appraised of the status of performance by delivering
the following status reports:
A. Consultant will provide a weekly activity report to the Contract Officer.
B. Consultant will provide a monthly progress report to the Contract Officer.
VI. Consultant will utilize the following personnel to accomplish the Services:
A. Min Zhou, Project Manager
B. Chuck Stephan, QA/QC Manager
C. Frank Barrera, Task Manager (Traffic Control Device Inventory, & Sign Retro-
reflectivity Analysis)
D. Roger Pelayo, Task Manager(GIS Database Management)
