CITYOF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
DT
BACKGROUND:
Since Summer 2020, the City has been engaged in efforts to create and implement
holistic parking and access solutions for the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. These efforts
have included:
• Consideration of a Preserve capacity analysis
• Traffic and parking analysis
• Parking solutions at the City’s busiest trailhead within the Del Cerro neighborhood ,
including:
• ParkMobile Parking System
• Dedicated parking enforcement
• Parking fees and revised citation fines
• Temporary parking moratorium on 330-ft section of Crenshaw Boulevard
• A web and social media campaign
• Methods to more evenly disperse public use of the Preserve, including
• Beautification to Alta Vicente Reserve/Civic Center
• A pilot shuttle program
Tonight, Staff is providing updates on several of these efforts, and seeking the City
Council’s direction on modifying the ParkMobile Parking System, expiring the temporary
parking moratorium on six spaces on Crenshaw Boulevard, and sunsetting the Pilot
Shuttle Program.
DISCUSSION:
1. Status Update on ParkMobile Parking System
The City implemented a soft-launch of the ParkMobile app-based parking system along
Crenshaw Boulevard south of Crest Road and on Park Place on July 6, 2021. July was a
trial month during which the City required reservations but charged no parking fee and
used education rather than enforcement to address violations. In August 2021, the City
fully implemented ParkMobile. Below are the parking regulations associated with the
ParkMobile system:
• Reservations to park along Crenshaw Boulevard (south of Crest Road) and on
Park Place must be made by 11:59 p.m. the evening prior to a visit. Reservations
cannot be made more than three days prior to a visit.
• Parking (39 spaces) along Crenshaw Boulevard (south of Crest Road) is available
in 2.75-hr blocks only (with the exception of free time slots discussed directly
below), for a charge of $10 and a $.35 transaction fee.
• Free parking is available along Crenshaw Boulevard Monday through Friday from
7 a.m. – 8:45 a.m.
2
• 15 parking spaces on Park Place are reserved for residents possessing a
Recreational Residential Parking Permit. The provisions for reservations and 2.75-
hr blocks of time defined above apply.
• Two Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) parking spaces exist on Park Place, but
do not require reservations.
• Parking enforcement monitors the area.
• Street parking in excess of 75 cars exists on Crenshaw Boulevard north of Crest
Road for free.
Since ParkMobile was fully implemented in August, there has been a 7% use rate for the
39 public parking spaces along Crenshaw Boulevard south of Crest Road. This breaks
down to a 5% use rate for the paid periods of time and a n 18.5% use rate for early
weekday mornings, when parking is free. Paid time periods are weekends, holidays, and
weekdays from 9 a.m. – sunset. Additionally, 68% of reservations are being made on
weekends and 32% are being made on weekdays. See the tables below for a monthly
breakdown:

Residential/ADA Parking Stalls
Staff has provided additional figures for the 15 Residential Recreational Parking Permit
spaces and two ADA parking spaces on Park Place. However, this data is not as useful
for the following reasons: There are additional levels of complexity for residential permit
holders to book a reservation, and about 60% of visitors who park in this area do not
make a reservation, but display their City-issued parking permit placard, as was the
previous system. Park Rangers have not been issuing citations if the vehicle has a valid
3
City-issued placard displayed. Due to the complicated additional steps needed to make
a ParkMobile reservation for the Residential Recreational Parking Permit spaces, Staff
recommends discontinuing requiring ParkMobile reservations for these permit holders.
That said, on average, the 15 Recreational Residential Parking stalls are at approximately
60% capacity on weekends and about 30% capacity on weekdays. These numbers are
comprised of both visitors who made a reservation, and those who did not make a
reservation, but displayed a valid parking permit placard. See the tables below for a
monthly breakdown:

Since parking enforcement for the ParkMobile system began in August 2021, 288
citations have been issued for non-compliance with related parking regulations as broken
down below:
• Recreational Residential Permit Parking on Park Place violations: 71
• Failure to acquire ParkMobile reservation on Crenshaw Boulevard: 203
• Parking afterhours: 14
Revenue and Expenditures
Staff and ParkMobile’s original revenue assumptions were based on 25%-50% usage.
Our current usage rate for paid reservations is 5% through the first approximately two
months. Projected revenue and usage fell far below original projections . Staff is
recommending some changes to the parking system, as described below, to address
some core sources of dissatisfaction expressed by users. Staff will assess use levels
associated with these changes over the next few months of implementation. Additional
information is provided in the April 20, 2021, staff report (Attachment A).

Parking Program Revenue to Date:
• ParkMobile reservation fees collected (with ParkMobile fees subtracted): $2,903
• Parking citation fines (pending failures to pay): $31,680
Annual Program Costs:
• Parking enforcement personnel cost: $110,000 a year
• ParkMobile initial annual cost (included installation expenses): $24,308
• Annual fee for subsequent years: $8,808
o $.35 transaction fees borne by the user for each paid reservation
o $.35 transaction fee borne by City for each free reservation
o $.15 transaction fee borne by the City for each paid reservation
o 3% of total City revenue is paid to ParkMobile
2. Proposed Modifications to the ParkMobile Parking System
The original goal of the ParkMobile system was to provide immediate relief to the Del
Cerro area from traffic and related negative impacts that have increased over the last 13
years and sharply increased during the pandemic, when use doubled at this most popular
access point to the Preserve. This dramatic increase in trail use was seen throughout Los
Angeles County and beyond. Since many pandemic-related restrictions were lifted in
May 2021 and ParkMobile was implemented in July 2021, public use of the two trailheads
in the Del Cerro neighborhood has returned to the pre-pandemic levels. The ParkMobile
system was implemented as part of a multi-pronged, balanced approach to mitigate traffic
impacts while accommodating the increasing public use of the Preserve.
While Staff worked with ParkMobile to design a system that was expected to be
extensively utilized by the public, it is clearly being underutilized at a 7% reservation rate.
The following parking program configurations, consisting of reservation by 2.75-hour
blocks of time and an advanced reservation requirement are not typical of most parking
reservation systems but intended to reduce vehicle turnover to minimize impacts to the
surrounding residential neighborhoods. The City implemented the program with the
understanding that it is scalable and adjustable, and will reach the desired equilibrium to
balance public access, minimize traffic issues, and attempt to achieve acceptable cost
recovery. Since implementation, the City has received concerns from the public regarding
the requirement for advanced reservations and that the reservation system (especially
the app) is difficult to use. Many also communicated that the $10 fee deters them from
parking in the paid areas. Additionally, the process to make a reservation with a
Recreational Residential Parking Permit contained an added level of complexity that
residents have found challenging. However, the parking system has only been fully
implemented for two months. Staff recommends a combination of both implementing
changes to the parking program outlined below while also continuing to allow the public
to learn and become accustomed to using the app. The modifications to the ParkMobile
system listed below are recommended by Staff. If approved, Staff would monitor the
results over the next 90 days and return with another status update for the City Council’s
consideration.
5
• Allow same-day reservations (with cutoff one hour prior to reservation start)
• Create simplified access to the ParkMobile reservation link
• Improve instructional signs
• Discontinue requiring reservations for Recreational Residential Parking Permit
holders
Staff is making these recommendations to directly address some of the more common
feedback from the public that the program is confusing and that it is difficult to plan a visit
the night before the visit. Additionally, ParkMobile has recommended directing users to
the ParkMobile weblink rather than the app, becau se it is easier to use. Staff is
recommending changing signage and the City’s website to direct visitors to the
ParkMobile webpage rather than the app, and to potentially include QR codes for easy
access to information.
3. Lift the Temporary Parking Moratorium
Since September 2020, a temporary parking restriction has been in place along
Crenshaw Boulevard south of Crest Road, near Crenshaw Boulevard’s intersection with
Park Place, to provide traffic relief to the Del Cerro neighborhood until a larger -scale
parking solution is implemented. The temporary parking restriction was formally adopted
by the City Council, via resolution, on September 1, 2020, for 60 days and was extended
on October 20, 2020, December 15, 2020, March 16, 2021, May 18, 2021 , and September
7, 2021.
The number of spaces subject to the temporary parking restriction were reduced from
nine to six, because in March 2021, the City Council permanently restricted parking 155
feet north of Park Place to provide adequate sight distance, as recommende d in a traffic
study. The reasons for the extending the temporary parking moratorium included
determining long-term parking and traffic solutions and the intent to leave the temporary
parking restriction in place until these solutions were implemented for a period of time
long enough to effectively reduce and calm traffic on Crenshaw Boulevard.
The current temporary parking restriction expires on October 19, 2021. Now that
ParkMobile has been fully implemented for a period of more than two months and traf fic
has been significantly reduced, Staff recommends allowing the parking moratorium to
expire on the current October 19 expiration date. This will give staff time to work with
ParkMobile to enter these additional six parking spaces into the ParkMobile reservation
system, repaint the curb, and install temporary signage.
However, if it is the City Council’s desire to extend the temporary parking moratorium to
allow more time to assess traffic impacts on Crenshaw Boulevard south of Crest Road,
as an alternative action, attached is a draft resolution (Attachment A) extending the
moratorium until January 18, 2022.
4. Status Update on the ParkMobile Parking System’s Impacts to other Trailheads
and Neighborhoods
6
In addition to the Burma Road and Rattlesnake Trailheads, Staff has been monitoring
other Preserve entry points to detect increases in use or negative impacts to
neighborhoods resulting from changes to parking management in the Del Cerro area.
Park Rangers have observed that parking has nearly doubled along Crenshaw Boulevard
north of Crest Road, where street parking is free. Staff has not received complaints from
residents or businesses along Crenshaw Boulevard, north of Crest Road. Feedback from
Preserve-adjacent neighbors and businesses follows:
Del Cerro HOA (Portuguese Bend Reserve)
Staff has been in contact with the Del Cerro HOA throughout the process of the Holistic
Preserve Parking and Access management effort, and specifically ParkMobile
implementation. They will provide more specific feedback as late correspondence.
St. John Fisher Church (Portuguese Bend, Filiorum and Three Sisters Reserves)
Overall, the impacts of ParkMobile have been positive because traffic has been reduced
on Crenshaw Boulevard south of Crest Road. Church staff ha ve observed hikers parking
in the church parking lot on weekends, and will be installing additional sign s stating that
this is prohibited.
Seacrest HOA (Filiorum and Three Sisters Reserves)
While there doesn’t appear to be a consistent increase in car traffic or parking in this
neighborhood, neighbors are seeing a definite increase in foot traffic on sidewalks
throughout the neighborhood and Crooked Patch Trail. Staf f will remain in contact with
the neighborhood representative to assess conditions and recommend solutions as they
become necessary/requested.
Ladera Linda HOA (Forrestal Reserve)
The HOA has indicated that public use has been high at Forrestal Reserve. The City has
had a trail counter at Pirate Trail (Forrestal’s busiest trailhead) since July 2018. It is
important to note that trail counters are not 100% accurate on daily counts but have
general accuracy and show trends in use. While Pirate Trail is one of four trailheads for
Forrestal Reserve adjacent to Ladera Linda neighbors, use nearly doubled during the
pandemic. However, once significant pandemic-related closures were lifted and more
recreational and entertainment options became available in June 2020, use did drop at
Pirate Trailhead from the peak pandemic use levels. However, use remains higher than
pre-pandemic use levels. Trail counter data is difficult to interpret because ParkMobile
was implemented just one month after significant pandemic-related closures were lifted,
and not enough data is available to determine a trend. Staff will continue to monitor use
levels at Forrestal Reserve. Additionally, Staff has installed two more trail counters at
trailheads at this access point.
7
It should be noted that the City is currently in the process of implementing parking and
access solutions in the Ladera Linda and Forrestal Reserve area including a security plan
for the proposed Ladera Linda Park and Community Center project, gates to control park
and Forrestal Reserve access, surveillance cameras, enhanced staff monitoring in the
immediate area, and consideration to implement a Residential Permit Parking Program
on Sea Raven Drive and Phantom Drive within the Ladera Linda HOA (tentatively
scheduled for the October 19 City Council meeting).
Trump National Golf Club (Ocean Trails Reserve)
Trump National has seen an increase in trail use, but the increase does not coincide
directly with the timing of ParkMobile implementation. It is possible that ParkMobile
implementation may have increased use at Ocean Trails Reserve, but it is hard to
interpret at this time. Park Rangers have noticed consistent heavy use at Ocean Trails
Reserve and more recently increased calls for service from the public.
West Portuguese Bend HOA (Abalone Cove Park/Reserve/Beach)
The HOA has not seen an increase in parking or traffic in its neighborhood that coincides
with ParkMobile implementation. The HOA feels that with the loosening of COVID-19
restrictions, parking and traffic conditions are back to pre-pandemic conditions.
Oceanfront Estates HOA (Vicente Bluffs Reserve):
The HOA has not seen an increase in use that corresponds to ParkMobile
implementation. Neighbors surmise that this is because of the significantly different
experiences at Portuguese Bend Reserve and Vicente Bluffs Reserve.
5. Status Update on Search Engine Optimization Efforts
Staff continues to work on a public outreach campaign and search engine optimization
(SEO). The City’s SEO consultant, Tripepi Smith, has performed initial research and
benchmarking to determine which trail-related webpages people are visiting and how they
are finding them. Tripepi Smith has also supported Open Space Management (OSM)
Staff with trouble-shooting the claiming of more complicated Google My Business
listings. Staff worked with Tripepi Smith to optimize four trail-related City webpages for
search strength and on third-party blog/site outreach to help correct incorrect public
information on the Preserve. Additionally, Staff continues to disseminate information
through social media on alternate reserves for the public to visit to disperse use away
from the very popular Portuguese Bend Reserve. Tripepi Smith has contacted popular
websites to encourage them to emphasize alternative reserve locations. When the SEO
effort began, the highest-ranking websites were:
1. alltrails.com
2. tripadvisor.com
3. tanamatales.com
4. modernhiker.com
8
5. hikespeak.com
6. maureenmegowan.com
7. racheloffduty.com
In recent months, Tripepi Smith launched a digital messaging campaign to encourage
online visitors to click on City-maintained websites with accurate Preserve information
that directs visitors toward less-impacted trails. The digital messaging campaign occurred
on Google and Facebook. Tripepi reported that following data for June 25 -September 2,
2021:
Google Digital Messaging
Impressions (digital message viewed): 11,347
Clicks (digital message viewed and City webpage accessed): 1,871
Average click-through rate: 16.39%
Facebook
Impressions: 170,874
Clicks: 10,874
Average click-through rate: 6.37%
In addition to SEO, Park Rangers have claimed ownership of 22 Preserve Google
Business addresses and worked with the City Attorney and Google to correct two
instances of misinformation on Google Maps. Staff has also taken ownership of the
Abalone Cove Yelp page and is working to obtain others. Park Rangers monitor social
media for groups that plan to hold events in the Preserve and reach out proactively when
the events violate the City’s open space regulations. Typically, Park Rangers find 1-3
groups weekly planning to hold group hikes in the Preserve.
6. Sunset the Pilot Shuttle Program
From April-July 2021, the City operated a 90-day Preserve Pilot Shuttle Program through
a Memorandum of Understanding with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Transit Authority . The
Preserve Shuttle operated Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays between 8 a.m.
and 5:30 p.m., and connected these key Preserve areas:
• Alta Vicente Reserve/Civic Center
• Point Vicente Interpretive Center
• Abalone Cove Park/Reserve/Beach
• Lower Portuguese Bend Reserve (formerly known as Gateway Park) on Palos
Verdes Drive South
On July 6, 2021, Staff presented the City Council with information on the pilot program so
that the City Council could assess and provide direction on the program. Staff reported
that the shuttle had low ridership at an estimated cost of $XX per rider. While the service
9
itself was funded through Proposition A, the program required City staff time to staff
shuttle locations. At that meeting, the City Council directed Staff to pause the program for
a period of 90 days at which time Staff would bring the program back to the City Council
for consideration. The program has been paused for 90 days, and during this period, staff
has observed that public use has returned to pre-pandemic levels, the parking demand
has lessened, and parking impacts have not spilled over to other trailheads. Thus, all
things considered, Staff recommends the City Council sunset the Pilot Preserve Shuttle
Program.
Additional Information:
Traffic and Parking Analysis
In March 2021, the City completed an expedited site distance survey to analyze site
distance and driving conditions on Crenshaw Boulevard, south of Crest Road and Park
Place. As a result of this study, the City permanently restricted parking in three areas to
create the recommended site distance for traffic conditions, and this resulted in the
elimination of 14 parking spaces through red-curbing and signs.
The City will also be conducting larger scale traffic/safety calming plans in various
locations throughout the City. The first is at Crenshaw Boulevard (north and south of Crest
Road) and Park Place. It will contain best practices to address driving behavior and other
vehicular and pedestrian traffic safety concerns based on the existing parking spaces;
and it will include a range of options with recommendations including short -term and long-
term measures. Staff will work with a traffic consultant to complete this plan once the
desired level of parking along Crenshaw Boulevard south of Crest Road and on Park
Place has been achieved and has reached an equilibrium. Staff will have a better
assessment of the parking situation in the Del Cerro area over the next six months, and
will plan to start the traffic study in Spring 2022.
The second traffic/safety calming plan will cover all of Forrestal Drive (including behind
the existing gate). It will contain best practices to address driving behavior and other
vehicular and pedestrian traffic safety concerns, including queuing, based on the number
of parking spaces; and it will include a range of options with recommendations including
short-term and long-term measures. This plan will be completed prior to construction of
the new Ladera Linda Park and Community Center project.
Subsequent to this study, traffic studies will be conducted for the Abalone Cove parking
lot and adjacent Palos Verdes Drive South, where queuing occurs, and the Point Vicente
Interpretive Center.
Burma and Rattlesnake Trailhead Gates
A gate to control pedestrian access at Burma Road Trail was installed in November 2020.
It was severely damaged in July 2021 and again in September 2021 . The cause is
unknown, but likely included a vehicle collision or vandalism. The remaining sections of
Burma gate were damaged by a vehicle accident in July 2021 and again in August 2021.
10
The Public Works Department is working on a plan of action to repair the gate, including
adding mechanisms (i.e. bollards and considering a surveillance camera system) to
protect against vehicle accidents and vandalism. The timing of the reinstallation of Burma
gate is unknown at this time but will be completed as soon as possible.
Installation of the Rattlesnake Trail fence and gate is dependent upon the Island View
HOA granting the City permission to use its property for installation and maintenance of
the fence. In the event the HOA does not grant the City permission, the City is in the
process of identifying viable and cost-effective alternatives to the current plan, such as
relocating the gate within the existing easement area on the Rattlesnake Trail .
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the City Council review the information contained in this report; adopt
the Staff recommendations to the ParkMobile program; consider allowing the temporary
parking moratorium on six parking spaces along Crenshaw Boulevard to expire; and
consider sunsetting the Pilot Preserve Shuttle Program.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative action is available for
the City Council’s consideration:
1. Adopt the attached resolution (Attachment A) to extend the temporary parking
moratorium for six parking spaces on Crenshaw Blvd. between Park Place and
Rattlesnake Trailhead until January 18, 2022.
2. Reinstate the Pilot Preserve Shuttle Program.
3. Direct Staff to take other action related to this item.

ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
A. January 19, 2021 Preserve Staff Report
B. Revised agreement with ParkMobile (page B-1)
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
As part of a holistic approach to parking and traffic issues in the Del Cerro area, the City
Council directed Staff on October 20, 2020, to release an invitation for proposals for a
parking reservation/permit online system for parking along Crenshaw Boulevard south
B-1
of Crest Road, as well as the parking lot at Del Cerro Park. Following Staff review of
proposal submissions, ParkMobile was selected as the recommended vendor. At its
December 15 meeting, the City Council authorized Staff and the City Attorney to
negotiate an agreement with ParkMobile for consideration at the January 19, 2021
meeting.
A Professional Services Agreement was approved by the City Council on January 19,
2021. The City Council approved an appropriation of $26,912 for the ins tallation and
operation of the ParkMobile parking app, and provided direction on Preserve parking
procedures and fees in that area.
Parking fees were set by the City Council at $10 per three -hour block of time with free
hours from 7 a.m. – 9 a.m. Monday-Friday. The proposed system is 100% reservation-
based, requiring users to make a reservation a minimum of two hours and a maximum
of three days in advance. This approach would allow park/Preserve visitors to drive
directly to a space in a designated zone without having to circle the area, thereby
reducing traffic impacts. Drop-in parking without a reservation would not be allowed and
may result in a citation. Every reservation using the app will include a $.35 transaction
fee. Additionally, a $.15 and 3% credit card transaction fee would be included in each
paid reservation. ParkMobile would pay those fees directly to the credit card companies
and submit payment to the City on a monthly basis, minus its transaction fees.
To provide public awareness of the system, implementation of the app is being rolled
out gradually. This will also allow Staff to acquaint itself with the program, and to gather
data on average length of stays, total occupancy, comparative use of zones and other
factors. This will also allow Staff and ParkMobile to refine the operating system as
needed. Signs, listserv messages and social media posts would be used to inform the
public. Warnings and educational fliers about the parking app will be issued initially in
lieu of citations.
Following City Council approval, City Staff and the City Attorney met to discuss the
agreement terms with ParkMobile. Based on the discussions, the following is a list of
substantive changes to the contract currently requested for the Council’s authorization :
• The form contract is from the Consultant. The City’s form contracts do not lend
themselves to this type of service, as they are not drafted for cyber services and
lack a number of typical provisions such as limitation of liability and intellectual
property protections. It is simpler and more cost effective to review and revise the
vendor’s form than to create from whole cloth a City form agreement.
• Number of sensors: Based on recent traffic analysis, the total number of spaces
where in-ground sensors will be installed has been reduced from 84 to 70 spaces
due to the reduction of allocated parking spaces.
• Reduction of Cost: This reduction in the number of sensors reduced the project’s
initial costs, which include installation expenses, from $26,912 to $24,308. The
B-2
annual fee for subsequent years has been reduced from $9,312 to $8,808 also
due to the reduced number of sensors.
• Clarification of paid/free transaction fees: $.35 transaction fees for paid
reservation times will be borne by parking end users, while the City will bear the
$.35 transaction fees for free reservation times.
• Indemnification: City contracts typically include a standard indemnification clause
wherein the Consultant indemnifies the City to protect the City against claims that
may arise due to any negligence of Consultant in the performance of the contract
services.
During contract discussions, ParkMobile representatives requested that
agreement include a mutual indemnification clause. The City Attorney objected to
a mutual indemnification provision particularly where an independent contractor
is providing a service to the City.
ParkMobile then indicated it wished to remove all indemnification language from
the contract. Again, the absence of any indemnification is not something the City
Attorney would recommend and would be subject to City Council discretion.
Having said the foregoing, given that this is a pilot project and given further the
amount of the contract only slightly above the City Manager’s own signing
authority, the City Attorney would not object to the contract in the form attached
to this staff report provided the City Council is willing to accept some risk.
The City Council has in the past accepted some limits on indemnity provisions,
especially in cyber-services/software contracts due to the nature of the services,
and the amount of the contract. However, the City Attorney is not aware of the
City Council approving a contract with a private vendor with no indemnification
protection for the City of any kind.
• Intellectual Property: this contract includes standard intellectual property
protections for the Consultant.
• Limitation of liability. Provisions are included that the platform is being provided
“as is,” with no warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
Damages are limited to twice the amount of a 12-month contract sum for actual
damages.
• Confidential information. The provisions relating to disclosure of confidential
information are more detailed that on our form, this is related to the intellectual
property issues. This does not limit the City’s obligations of disclosure of public
documents under the Public Records Act.
If approved tonight, Installation is now anticipated to be completed by the end of June
2021.
B-3
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative actions are available
for the City Council’s consideration:
1. Require the Agreement to include the City’s standard Indemnification clause.
2. Take other action, as deemed appropriate.

5. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES
5.1 Confidentiality. Each Party (“Receiving Party”) acknowledges that all non-public
information and data (including trade secrets) of the other Party (“Disclosing Party”) including,
but not limited to, information and data relating to the other Party’s products, services, employees,
customers, pricing, software, business, finances, marketing and promotions is the confidential and
proprietary information of the disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”). User Data is the
property of and deemed the Confidential Information of ParkMobile. Except as otherwise set out
herein, neither Party shall disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party to any third-
party or use it for its own benefit or the benefit of a third-party, and each Party shall take reasonable
measures to protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information of the disclosing Party and
prevent its disclosure to others.
Each Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to
its affiliates and their respective employees and agents who are directly involved in the
performance of this Agreement, who have a need to know and who are obligated in writing to
honor the restrictions on disclosure and use of such Confidential Information set forth in this
B-15
Agreement (the persons to whom such disclosure is permissible being collectively known as
“Representatives”). Each Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 5.1
by its Representatives. Each Receiving Party shall not disclose, without the prior written consent
of the Disclosing Party, any of such Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it has learned
either during the course of this Agreement or in discussions and proposals leading up to this
Agreement, except as expressly permitted hereunder or as may be required by Law. Each
Receiving Party shall not use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose
other than that for which it was disclosed in order to exercise its rights and perform its obligations
hereunder.
5.2 Each Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information shall remain the property of such
Disclosing Party. Upon the Disclosing Party’s request and any termination or expiration of this
Agreement, the Receiving Party shall deliver, erase or destroy (at the Disclosing Party’s option)
the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, and shall confirm to the Disclosing Party in
writing that all such documents and things have been so provided, erased or destroyed.
5.3 The foregoing obligations shall not apply to any Confidential Information that:
(a) is in the public domain without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving
Party;
(b) a Receiving Party can demonstrate was rightfully known prior to receipt
from the Disclosing Party; or
(c) was subsequently received by the Receiving Party from a third-party
without any obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party.
5.4 The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information
if the information is disclosed by the Receiving Party pursuant to a requirement of a governmental
agency or by operation of law; provided however, that the Receiving Party shall first notify
Disclosing Party prior to disclosure, if allowed by Law, in order to give the Disclosing Party a
reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the terms
of this Agreement and shall disclose only that part of the Confidential Information which the
Receiving Party is required to disclose. To the extent a Party determines it is advisable to file a
copy of this Agreement with a governmental agency, including the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission, that Party and its counsel shall work with the other Party and its counsel
to obtain confidential treatment of relevant portions of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, product and service specifications and pricing information.
5.5 Each Party agrees that irreparable damage may occur, and that monetary damages
may be an insufficient remedy at law, in the event that any of the provisions of this Section 5.1 are
not performed by the other Party and that each Party shall be entitled to specific performance of
the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
5.6 Each Receiving Party’s obligation with respect to the Confidential Information of
a Disclosing Party shall expire three (3) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement;

B-16
Party shall remain in effect throughout the Term and at all times thereafter, but only for so long as
such information remains a trade secret.

provide the other Party with all information regarding itself and the transactions under this
Agreement that the other Party reasonably believes is required to comply with all applicable Laws
and to satisfy the requesting Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Any information owned by
one Party that is provided to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered
Confidential Information and shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party. Except as set forth
herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights,
licenses or otherwise in any such Confidential Information.
5.8 Records. During the Term and for three (3) years following expiration or
termination of the Agreement, each Party shall maintain and retain records related to this
Agreement, including the provision of the ParkMobile Services hereunder, consistent with such
Party’s historical policies regarding retention of records. Subject to this Section 5.3, as needed

the Agreement, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable Law, the Parties shall provide each other
with records related to this Agreement to the extent that (a) such records exist in the ordinary

with its obligations under this Agreement or applicable Law, and (c) such records demonstrate the

5.11 General Insurance Requirements.
(a) Proof of insurance. ParkMobile shall provide certificates of insurance to
City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of
subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and
endorsements must be approved by City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement
of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with City at
all times during the term of this Agreement.
(b) Duration of coverage. ParkMobile shall procure and maintain for the
duration of this Agreement insurance against claims for injuries to persons or
damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance
of the Services hereunder by ParkMobile, its agents, representatives, employees or
subconsultants.
(c) Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by ParkMobile shall be
primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall
not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may
be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any
umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision
that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the
benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called
upon to protect it as a named insured.
(d) City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required
under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and
not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems
necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by
ParkMobile or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from
ParkMobile payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement.
(e) Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance
company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business
of insurance or that is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of
California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial
Size Category Class VI (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s
Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the City’s Risk Manager.
(f) Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured
pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against City, its
elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall
specifically allow ParkMobile or others providing insurance evidence in
compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss.
ParkMobile hereby waives its own right of recovery against City, and shall require
similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its
subcontractors
B-19
(g) Enforcement of contract provisions (non-estoppel). ParkMobile
acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City
to inform ParkMobile of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no
additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
(h) Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or
limits contained in this section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits
or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any
insurance. 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 all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any
type. If the ParkMobile maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above,
the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained
by the ParkMobile. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified
minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
(i) Notice of cancellation. ParkMobile, its insurance agent or broker, or
insurers will provide to City a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for
nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage
for each required coverage.
(j) Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be
endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and
volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also
apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
(k) Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. 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.
(l) Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for
all additional insureds ensuring that ParkMobile’s insurance shall apply separately
to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect
to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-
liability exclusions.
(m) Pass through clause. ParkMobile agrees to ensure that its subconsultants,
subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto
or involved in the project by ParkMobile, provide the same minimum insurance
coverage and endorsements required of ParkMobile. ParkMobile 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.
ParkMobile agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants,
subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for
review.
B-20
(n) Agency’s right to revise specifications. 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 ParkMobile ninety (90) days advance written notice of such
change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the ParkMobile, the
City and ParkMobile may renegotiate ParkMobile’s compensation. If ParkMobile
chooses not to change the amounts or types of insurance required by the City,
ParkMobile may terminate the Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice
without penalty or obligation.
(o) Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and
approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be
eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be
considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.
(p) Timely notice of claims. Each Party shall give the other Party prompt and
timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from
ParkMobile’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve
coverage under any of the required liability policies.
(q) Additional insurance. ParkMobile shall also procure and maintain, at its
own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment
may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.
5.12 Without limiting any indemnification or other obligations under this Agreement,
during the Term and for a period of one (1) year after the Term, each Party shall maintain
reasonable types and levels of insurance to ins ure against losses, damages and risks as are
customarily insured against by a business or entity engaged in similar activities, including at a
minimum, all insurance required by applicable Law. Each Party shall maintain reasonable types

responsible and liable for any use or misuse of the foregoing. City further agrees
