TITLE: Approval of Services Agreements for Water Well and Water Pump
Station Maintenance Services
ABSTRACT -
The City owns and operates 4 potable water wells, 5 potable water booster pump stations
and 2 reclaimed water booster pump stations. The wells and pump stations are
maintained through a combination of Utilities staff and contract services. Following a
Request for Proposals (RFP) selection process, staff is requesting to enter into two (2)
separate agreements with the top rated firms for water well and water pump maintenance
and repair services.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
b) Approve the Services Agreement with General Pump Company, for water well and
water pump station maintenance services for a five-year term with a total not -to -
exceed amount of $250,000;
c) Approve the Services Agreement with Layne Christensen Company, for water well
and water pump station maintenance services for a five-year term with a total not -to -
exceed amount of $250,000; and
d) Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreements.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The FY 2019-20 budget includes sufficient funding for the typical water well and water
pump station maintenance services utilizing the Pump and Motor Replacement account,
7019052-851073 and the Wells and Pump Station Maintenance account, 7019052-
851033. Should a large repair be needed that exceeds the available budget or contract
limit, staff will bring the item to Council for additional funding.

DISCUSSION:
The Utilities Department maintains the City's 4 potable water wells, 5 potable water
booster pump stations and 2 reclaimed water booster pump stations. The Department
manages these assets through a combination of resources including licensed in-house
Water Production and SCADA staff; contract service providers for well and pump
maintenance and repair, Variable Frequency Drive repairs and replacements; and
another contract provider for electric motor repairs. In addition, Public Works' annual
Capital Improvement Program includes well and pump station improvements.
The water well and booster pump stations are critical facilities that are used to convey
and boost water pressure for everyday use and firefighting measures. Over time, pumps
can become inefficient from normal wear and tear. This inefficiency causes electrical
costs to rise as the pump requires more electricity to meet target flows or demand. Pumps
may also fail and require repair, rehabilitation, or replacement. Last year, the City used
4.6 billion gallons of potable water and approximately 96% of that water went through a
booster pump station and of the 163 million gallons of reclaimed water used last year,
84% went through a booster pump station. Due to the critical nature of these pump
stations, it is important to have knowledgeable contractors under contract with the City to
ensure timely repairs. This service agreement requires the contractor to provide trained
personnel, tools, equipment, and materials to repair, maintain and troubleshoot the City's
water wells and booster pump stations when called upon.
The existing agreement with the previous contractors has reached its contract limits and
in anticipation, the Utilities and Finance Department issued a Request for Proposal (RFP)
to solicit proposals for this service. The City received five proposals, and a proposal
review team reviewed and graded the proposals based on technical qualifications,
experience, and the proposer's ability to perform and to deploy services which accounted
for 60 percent of the evaluation criteria. (Per Finance Department guidelines, the two
proposals that earned a technical score greater than 70% were then evaluated for
pricing.) The remaining 40 percent of the evaluation criteria compared pricing, including
the hourly rates for labor and equipment to perform a typical booster pump removal, repair
and re -installation. On average, the annual expense for emergency and scheduled
booster pump repairs and maintenance costs range between $50,000 to $90,000.
Retaining two contractors with an amount of $50,000 each for a period of five years will
ensure average annual costs are covered and contractor availability during emergencies.

Upon completion of the evaluation scoring, General Pump Company and Layne
Christensen Company ranked highest among the proposals. General Pump Company,
ranked second best in technical qualifications and best overall in cost review and Layne
Christensen Company, ranked best in technical qualifications and third overall in cost
review. The Utilities Department recommends the approval of a contract to General Pump
Company and Layne Christensen Company, for individual five-year term contracts with a
not -to -exceed amount of $250,000 for each contract. The City will review each
Contractor's performance on a routine basis and utilize their services on an as -needed
basis.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

4. COMPENSATION TO CONTRACTOR
4.1 City shall pay Contractor for the Services on a time and expense not -to -

the Schedule of Billing Rates attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by
reference. Except as otherwise provided herein, no rate changes shall be made during
the term of this Agreement without the prior written approval of City. Contractor's

4.2 Upon the first anniversary of the Effective Date and upon each anniversary
of the Effective Date thereafter, the billing rates set forth in Exhibit B ("Billing Rates") shall
be adjusted in proportion to changes in the Consumer Price Index, subject to the
maximum adjustment set forth below. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the
Billing Rates in Exhibit B by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the
Consumer Price Index for the calendar month three (3) months preceding the calendar
month for which such adjustment is to be made, and the denominator of which is the value
of the Consumer Price Index for the same calendar month immediately prior to Effective
Date. The Consumer Price Index to be used in such calculation is the "Consumer Price
Index, All Items, 1982-84=100 for All Urban Consumers (CPI -U)", for the Los Angeles -
Riverside -Orange County Metropolitan Area, published by the United States Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If both an official index and one or more unofficial
indices are published, the official index shall be used. If said Consumer Price Index is no
longer published at the adjustment date, it shall be constructed by conversion tables
included in such new index. In no event, however, shall the amount payable under this
Agreement be reduced below the Billing Rates in effect immediately preceding such
adjustment. The maximum adjustment increase to the Billing Rates, for any year where
an adjustment is made pursuant to this Section, shall not exceed the Consumer Price
Index or 2.0% of the Billing Rates in effect immediately preceding such adjustment,
whichever is less.
4.3 Contractor shall submit monthly invoices to City describing the Work
performed the preceding month. Contractor's bills shall include the name and/or
classification of employee who performed the Work, a brief description of the Services
performed and/or the specific task in the Scope of Services to which it relates, the date

identified in Exhibit B to this Agreement and the Letter Proposal, or specifically approved
in writing in advance by City.
4.5 Contractor shall not receive any compensation for Extra Work performed
without the prior written authorization of City. As used herein, "Extra Work" means any
Work that is determined by City to be necessary for the proper completion of the Project,
but which is not included within the Scope of Services and which the parties did not
reasonably anticipate would be necessary at the execution of this Agreement.
Compensation for any authorized Extra Work shall be paid in accordance with Exhibit B
and the Letter Proposal.

the terms of this Agreement. This indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability
regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act
as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Contractor.

inconvenience and possible hazard, to restore other work areas to their original condition
and former usefulness as soon as possible, and to protect public and private property.

retained by it until disposition has been made of such suits or claims for damages as
aforesaid.
9.7 The rights and obligations set forth in this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
It is understood that City retains Contractor on an independent contractor basis
and Contractor is not an agent or employee of City. The manner and means of conducting
the Work are under the control of Contractor, except to the extent they are limited by
statute, rule or regulation and the expressed terms of this Agreement. No civil service
status or other right of employment shall accrue to Contractor or its employees. Nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute approval for Contractor or any of
Contractor's employees or agents, to be the agents or employees of City. Contractor
shall have the responsibility for and control over the means of performing the Work,
provided that Contractor is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Anything in
this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to direct Contractor as to the details
of the performance of the Work or to exercise a measure of control over Contractor shall
mean only that Contractor shall follow the desires of City with respect to the results of the
Services.
11. COOPERATION

which authorizes the Insurer or Surety to transact surety insurance in the State of
California.
16. PREVAILING WAGES
16.1 Pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Labor Code of the State of
California, not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages including legal
holidays and overtime Work for each craft or type of workman needed to execute the
Work contemplated under the Agreement shall be paid to all workmen employed on the
Work to be done according to the Agreement by the Contractor and any subcontractor.
In accordance with the California Labor Code (Sections 1770 et seq.), the Director of
Industrial Relations has ascertained the general prevailing rate of per diem wages in the
locality in which the Work is to be performed for each craft, classification, or type of
workman or mechanic needed to execute the Agreement. A copy of said determination
is available by calling the prevailing wage hotline number (415) 703-4774, and requesting
one from the Department of Industrial Relations. The Contractor is required to obtain the
wage determinations from the Department of Industrial Relations and post at the job site
the prevailing rate or per diem wages. It shall be the obligation of the Contractor or any
subcontractor under him/her to comply with all State of California labor laws, rules and
regulations and the parties agree that the City shall not be liable for any violation thereof.
16.2 Unless otherwise exempt by law, Contractor warrants that no contractor or
subcontractor was listed on the bid proposal for the Services that it is not currently
General Pump Company, Inc. Page 7 12-10
registered and qualified to perform public work. Contractor further warrants that it is
currently registered and qualified to perform "public work" pursuant to California Labor
Code section 1725.5 or any successor statute thereto and that no contractor or
subcontractor will engage in the performance of the Services unless currently registered
and qualified to perform public work.

provided under this Agreement shall not be assigned, transferred contracted or
subcontracted out without the prior written approval of City. Any of the following shall be
construed as an assignment: The sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Contractor, or of the interest of any general
partner or joint venturer or syndicate member or cotenant if Contractor is a partnership or
joint -venture or syndicate or cotenancy, which shall result in changing the control of
Contractor. Control means fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power or twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of the assets of the corporation, partnership or joint -venture.
18. SUBCONTRACTING
The subcontractors authorized by City, if any, to perform Work on this Project are
identified in Exhibit A and the Letter Proposal. Contractor shall be fully responsible to
City for all acts and omissions of any subcontractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall
create any contractual relationship between City and any subcontractor nor shall it create
any obligation on the part of City to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due to
any such subcontractor other than as otherwise required by law. City is an intended
beneficiary of any Work performed by the subcontractor for purposes of establishing a
duty of care between the subcontractor and City. Except as specifically authorized herein,
the Services to be provided under this Agreement shall not be otherwise assigned,
transferred, contracted or subcontracted out without the prior written approval of City.

Each and every report, draft, map, record, plan, document and other writing
produced (hereinafter "Documents"), prepared or caused to be prepared by Contractor,
its officers, employees, agents and subcontractors, in the course of implementing this
Agreement, shall become the exclusive property of City, and City shall have the sole right
to use such materials in its discretion without further compensation to Contractor or any
other party. Contractor shall, at Contractor's expense, provide such Documents to City
upon prior written request.

unless City expressly authorizes in writing the release of information.
General Pump Company, Inc. Page 8 12-11
21. RECORDS
Contractor shall keep records and invoices in connection with the Services to be
performed under this Agreement. Contractor shall maintain complete and accurate
records with respect to the costs incurred under this Agreement and any Services,
expenditures and disbursements charged to City, for a minimum period of three (3) years,
or for any longer period required by law, from the date of final payment to Contractor
under this Agreement. All such records and invoices shall be clearly identifiable.
Contractor shall allow a representative of City to examine, audit and make transcripts or
copies of such records and invoices during regular business hours. Contractor shall allow
inspection of all Work, data, Documents, proceedings and activities related to the
Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment to Contractor
under this Agreement.
22. WITHHOLDINGS
City may withhold payment to Contractor of any disputed sums until satisfaction of
the dispute with respect to such payment. Such withholding shall not be deemed to
constitute a failure to pay according to the terms of this Agreement. Contractor shall not
discontinue Work as a result of such withholding. Contractor shall have an immediate
right to appeal to the City Manager or his/her designee with respect to such disputed
sums. Contractor shall be entitled to receive interest on any withheld sums at the rate of
return that City earned on its investments during the time period, from the date of
withholding of any amounts found to have been improperly withheld.
23. CITY'S RIGHT TO EMPLOY OTHER CONTRACTORS
City reserves the right to employ other contractors in connection with the Project.
24. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
24.1 Contractor or its employees may be subject to the provisions of the
California Political Reform Act of 1974 (the "Act") and/or Government Code §§ 1090 et
seq., which (1) require such persons to disclose any financial interest that may
foreseeably be materially affected by the Work performed under this Agreement, and (2)
prohibit such persons from making, or participating in making, decisions that will
foreseeably financially affect such interest.
24.2 If subject to the Act and/or Government Code §§ 1090 et seq., Contractor
shall conform to all requirements therein. Failure to do so constitutes a material breach
and is grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement by City. Contractor shall
indemnify and hold harmless City for any and all claims for damages resulting from
Contractor's violation of this Section.

4. Other Insurance Requirements. The policies are to contain, or be endorsed to
contain, the following provisions:
A. Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured
pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against
City, its City Council, boards and commissions, officers, agents, volunteers,
employees, and any person or entity owning or otherwise in legal control of
the property upon which Contractor performs the Project and/or Services
contemplated by this Agreement or shall specifically allow Contractor or
others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these requirements
to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Contractor hereby waives its
own right of recovery against City, and shall require similar written express
waivers from each of its subcontractors.
B. Additional Insured Status. All liability policies including general liability,
products and completed operations, excess liability, pollution liability, and
automobile liability, if required, shall provide or be endorsed to provide that
City, its City Council, boards and commissions, officers, agents, volunteers,

the property upon which Contractor performs the Project and/or Services
General Pump Company, Inc. Page C-2
12-28
contemplated by this Agreement shall be included as insureds under such
policies.
C. Primary and Non Contributory. All liability coverage shall apply on a primary
basis and shall not require contribution from any insurance or self-insurance
maintained by City.
D. Notice of Cancellation. All policies shall provide City with thirty (30)
calendar days notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which ten
(10) calendar days notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each
required coverage.
5. Additional Agreements Between the Parties. The parties hereby agree to the
following:
A. Evidence of Insurance. Contractor 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 and other
endorsements as specified herein for each coverage. Insurance certificates
and endorsement 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. City
reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required
insurance policies, at any time.
B. City's Right to Revise Requirements. City reserves the right at any time
during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of
insurance required by giving Contractor sixty (60) calendar days advance
written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to Contractor, City and Contractor may renegotiate
Contractor's compensation.
C. Right to Review Subcontracts. Contractor agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors or others with whom Contractor enters into
contracts with on behalf of City will be submitted to City for review. Failure
of City to request copies of such agreements will not impose any liability on

General Pump Company, Inc. Page C-3
12-29
E. 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 Contractor maintains higher
limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be
entitled to coverage for higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any
available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of
insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
F. 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 requirements unless
approved by City.
G. City Remedies for Non -Compliance. If Contractor or any subcontractor fails
to provide and maintain insurance as required herein, then City shall have
the right but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance, to terminate this
Agreement, or to suspend Contractor's right to proceed until proper
evidence of insurance is provided. Any amounts paid by City shall, at City's
sole option, be deducted from amounts payable to Contractor or reimbursed
by Contractor upon demand.
H. Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely notice
of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor's
performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve
coverage under any of the required liability policies. 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.
Contractor's Insurance. Contractor 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.

Services attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference ("Services"
or "Work"). Upon written request from the Project Administrator as defined herein,
Contractor shall provide a letter proposal for Services requested by the City (hereinafter

2.1.1 A detailed description of the Services to be provided;

2.2 No Services shall be provided until the Project Administrator has provided

3. TIME OF PERFORMANCE
3.1 Time is of the essence in the performance of Services under this Agreement
and Contractor shall perform the Services in accordance with the schedule included in
Exhibit A and the Letter Proposal. In the absence of a specific schedule, the Services
shall be performed to completion in a diligent and timely manner. The failure by
Contractor to strictly adhere to the schedule set forth in Exhibit A and the Letter Proposal,
if any, or perform the Services in a diligent and timely manner may result in termination

delays due to causes beyond Contractor's reasonable control. However, in the case of
any such delay in the Services to be provided for the Project, each party hereby agrees
to provide notice within two (2) calendar days of the occurrence causing the delay to the
other party so that all delays can be addressed.

3.4 For all time periods not specifically set forth herein, Contractor shall respond
in the most expedient and appropriate manner under the circumstances, by fax, hand -
delivery or mail.
4. COMPENSATION TO CONTRACTOR
4.1 City shall pay Contractor for the Services on a time and expense not -to -
exceed basis in accordance with the provisions of this Section and the Letter Proposal
and the Schedule of Billing Rates attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein
by reference. Except as otherwise provided herein, no rate changes shall be made during
the term of this Agreement without the prior written approval of City. Contractor's
compensation for all Services performed in accordance with this Agreement, including all
reimbursable items, shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars and 001100

Layne Christensen Company Page 2 12-38
4.2 Upon the first anniversary of the Effective Date and upon each anniversary
of the Effective Date thereafter, the billing rates set forth in Exhibit B ("Billing Rates") shall
be adjusted in proportion to changes in the Consumer Price Index, subject to the
maximum adjustment set forth below. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the
Billing Rates in Exhibit B by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the
Consumer Price Index for the calendar month three (3) months preceding the calendar
month for which such adjustment is to be made, and the denominator of which is the value
of the Consumer Price Index for the same calendar month immediately prior to Effective
Date. The Consumer Price Index to be used in such calculation is the "Consumer Price
Index, All Items, 1982-84=100 for All Urban Consumers (CPI -U)", for the Los Angeles -
Riverside -Orange County Metropolitan Area, published by the United States Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If both an official index and one or more unofficial
indices are published, the official index shall be used. If said Consumer Price Index is no
longer published at the adjustment date, it shall be constructed by conversion tables
included in such new index. In no event, however, shall the amount payable under this
Agreement be reduced below the Billing Rates in effect immediately preceding such
adjustment. The maximum adjustment increase to the Billing Rates, for any year where
an adjustment is made pursuant to this Section, shall not exceed the Consumer Price
Index or 2.0% of the Billing Rates in effect immediately preceding such adjustment,
whichever is less.
4.3 Contractor shall submit monthly invoices to City describing the Work
performed the preceding month. Contractor's bills shall include the name and/or
classification of employee who performed the Work, a brief description of the Services
performed and/or the specific task in the Scope of Services to which it relates, the date

later than thirty (30) calendar days after approval of the monthly invoice by City staff.
4.4 City shall reimburse Contractor only for those costs or expenses specifically
identified in Exhibit B to this Agreement and the Letter Proposal, or specifically approved
in writing in advance by City.
4.5 Contractor shall not receive any compensation for Extra Work performed
without the prior written authorization of City. As used herein, "Extra Work" means any
Work that is determined by City to be necessary for the proper completion of the Project,
but which is not included within the Scope of Services and which the parties did not
reasonably anticipate would be necessary at the execution of this Agreement.

and the Letter Proposal.

performing Services under this Agreement. Any deviation from the materials described
in Exhibit A shall not be installed or utilized unless approved in advance and in writing by

contractors, or governmental agencies.
9. RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGES OR INJURY
9.1 City and all officers, employees and representatives thereof and all persons
and entities owning or otherwise in legal control of the property upon which Contractor
performs the Project and/or Services shall not be responsible in any manner for any loss
or damage to any of the materials or other things used or employed in performing the
Project or for injury to or death of any person as a result of Contractor's performance of
the Services required hereunder; or for damage to property from any cause arising from
the performance of the Project and/or Services by Contractor, or its subcontractors, or its
workers, or anyone employed by either of them.
9.2 Contractor shall be responsible for any liability imposed by law and for
injuries to or death of any person or damage to property resulting from defects,
obstructions or from any cause arising from Contractor's Work on the Project and/or
Services, or the Work of any subcontractor or supplier selected by Contractor.
9.3 To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless City, its City Council, boards and commissions, officers, agents,
volunteers, employees, and any person or entity owning or otherwise in legal control of
the property upon which Contractor performs the Project and/or Services contemplated
by this Agreement (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all
claims (including, without limitation, claims for bodily injury, death or damage to property),
demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, judgments,
fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever (individually,
a Claim; collectively, "Claims"), which may arise from or in any manner relate (directly or
indirectly) to any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any Work
performed or Services provided under this Agreement including, without limitation,
defects in workmanship or materials or Contractor's presence or activities conducted on
the Project (including the negligent and/or willful acts, errors and/or omissions of
Contractor, its principals, officers, agents, employees, vendors, suppliers, consultants,
subcontractors, anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them or for whose acts
they may be liable or any or all of them).
9.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require
Contractor to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from the sole
negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Nothing in this indemnity shall
be construed as authorizing any award of attorneys' fees in any action on or to enforce
the terms of this Agreement. This indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability
regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act
as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Contractor.
Layne Christensen Company Page 5 12-41
9.5 Contractor shall perform all Work in a manner to minimize public
inconvenience and possible hazard, to restore other work areas to their original condition
and former usefulness as soon as possible, and to protect public and private property.
Contractor shall be liable for any private or public property damaged during the
performance of the Work by Contractor or its agents.
9.6 To the extent authorized by law, as much of the money due Contractor
under and by virtue of the Agreement as shall be considered necessary by City may be
retained by it until disposition has been made of such suits or claims for damages as
aforesaid.
9.7 The rights and obligations set forth in this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
It is understood that City retains Contractor on an independent contractor basis
and Contractor is not an agent or employee of City. The manner and means of conducting
the Work are under the control of Contractor, except to the extent they are limited by
statute, rule or regulation and the expressed terms of this Agreement. No civil service
status or other right of employment shall accrue to Contractor or its employees. Nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute approval for Contractor or any of
Contractor's employees or agents, to be the agents or employees of City. Contractor
shall have the responsibility for and control over the means of performing the Work,
provided that Contractor is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Anything in
this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to direct Contractor as to the details
of the performance of the Work or to exercise a measure of control over Contractor shall
mean only that Contractor shall follow the desires of City with respect to the results of the
Services.
11. COOPERATION
Contractor agrees to work closely and cooperate fully with City's designated
Project Administrator and any other agencies that may have jurisdiction or interest in the
Work to be performed. City agrees to cooperate with Contractor on the Project.

Contractor shall discuss and review all matters relating to policy and Project
direction with City's Project Administrator in advance of all critical decision points in order
to ensure the Project proceeds in a manner consistent with City goals and policies.

regular basis regarding the status and progress of the Project, activities performed and
planned, and any meetings that have been scheduled or are desired.
Layne Christensen Company Page 6 12-42

of Work, Contractor shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term
of this Agreement or for other periods as specified in this Agreement, policies of insurance

EXHIBIT C
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS — MAINTENANCE/REPAIR/JANITORIAL SERVICES
Provision of Insurance. Without limiting Contractor's indemnification of City, and
prior to commencement of Work, Contractor shall obtain, provide and maintain at
its own expense during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance of the
type and amounts described below and in a form satisfactory to City. Contractor
agrees to provide insurance in accordance with requirements set forth here. If
Contractor uses existing coverage to comply and that coverage does not meet
these requirements, Contractor agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the
existing coverage.
2. Acceptable Insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance
company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact
business of insurance in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders'
Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in
accordance with the latest edition of Best's Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise
approved by the City's Risk Manager.
3. Coverage Requirements.
A. Workers' Compensation Insurance. Contractor shall maintain Workers'
Compensation Insurance, statutory limits, and Employer's Liability
Insurance with limits of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000) each
accident for bodily injury by accident and each employee for bodily injury by
disease in accordance with the laws of the State of California, Section 3700
of the Labor Code.
Contractor shall submit to City, along with the certificate of insurance, a
Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of City, its City Council,
boards and commissions, officers, agents, volunteers, employees, and
any person or entity owning or otherwise in legal control of the property
upon which Contractor performs the Project and/or Services
contemplated by this Agreement.
B. General Liability Insurance. Contractor shall maintain commercial general
liability insurance and, if necessary, umbrella liability insurance, with
coverage at least as broad as provided by Insurance Services Office form
CG 00 01, in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per
occurrence, two million dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate. The policy
shall cover liability arising from premises, operations, products -completed
operations, personal and advertising injury, and liability assumed under an
insured contract (including the tort liability of another assumed in a business
contract).
C. Automobile Liability Insurance. Contractor shall maintain automobile
insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01
Layne Christensen Company Page C-1 12-61
covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of Contractor
arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under this
Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non -owned or rented
vehicles, in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000)
combined single limit each accident.
D. Pollution Liability Insurance. If required, Contractor shall maintain a policy
providing contractor's pollution liability ("CPL") coverage with a total limit of
liability of no less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per loss and two
million dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate per policy period. Claims -
made policies require a 5 -year extended reporting period. The CPL policy
shall include coverage for cleanup costs, third -party bodily injury and
property damage, including loss of use of damaged property or of property
that has not been physically injured or destroyed, resulting from pollution
conditions caused by contracting operations. Coverage as required in this
paragraph shall apply to sudden and non -sudden pollution conditions
resulting from the escape or release of smoke, vapors, fumes, acids, alkalis,
toxic chemicals, liquids, or gases, waste materials, or other irritants,
contaminants, or pollutants. The CPL shall also provide coverage for
transportation and off -Site disposal of materials. The policy shall not
contain any provision or exclusion (including any so-called "insured versus
insured" exclusion or "cross -liability" exclusion) the effect of which would be
to prevent, bar, or otherwise preclude any insured or additional insured
under the policy from making a claim which would otherwise be covered by
such policy on the grounds that the claim is brought by an insured or
additional insured against an insured or additional insured under the policy.
4. Other Insurance Requirements. The policies are to contain, or be endorsed to
contain, the following provisions:
A. Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured
pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against
City, its City Council, boards and commissions, officers, agents, volunteers,
employees, and any person or entity owning or otherwise in legal control of
the property upon which Contractor performs the Project and/or Services
contemplated by this Agreement or shall specifically allow Contractor or
others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these requirements
to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Contractor hereby waives its
own right of recovery against City, and shall require similar written express
waivers from each of its subcontractors.
B. Additional Insured Status. All liability policies including general liability,
products and completed operations, excess liability, pollution liability, and
automobile liability, if required, shall provide or be endorsed to provide that
City, its City Council, boards and commissions, officers, agents, volunteers,
employees, and any person or entity owning or otherwise in legal control of
the property upon which Contractor performs the Project and/or Services
Layne Christensen Company Page C-2 12-62
contemplated by this Agreement shall be included as insureds under such
policies.
C. Primary and Non Contributory. All liability coverage shall apply on a primary
basis and shall not require contribution from any insurance or self-insurance
maintained by City.
D. Notice of Cancellation. All policies shall provide City with thirty (30)
calendar days notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which ten
(10) calendar days notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each
required coverage.
5. Additional Agreements Between the Parties. The parties hereby agree to the
following:
A. Evidence of Insurance. Contractor 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 and other
endorsements as specified herein for each coverage. Insurance certificates
and endorsement 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. City
reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required
insurance policies, at any time.
B. City's Right to Revise Requirements. City reserves the right at any time
during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of
insurance required by giving Contractor sixty (60) calendar days advance
written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to Contractor, City and Contractor may renegotiate
Contractor's compensation.
C. Right to Review Subcontracts. Contractor agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors or others with whom Contractor enters into
contracts with on behalf of City will be submitted to City for review. Failure
of City to request copies of such agreements will not impose any liability on
City, or its employees. Contractor shall require and verify that all
subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated
herein, and Contractor shall ensure that City is an additional insured on
insurance required from subcontractors. For CGL coverage,
subcontractors shall provide coverage with a format at least as broad as CG
20 38 04 13.
D. Enforcement of Agreement Provisions. Contractor acknowledges and
agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform
Contractor of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional
obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Layne Christensen Company Page C-3 12-63
E. 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 Contractor maintains higher
limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be
entitled to coverage for higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any
available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of
insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
F. 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 requirements unless
approved by City.
G. City Remedies for Non -Compliance. If Contractor or any subcontractor fails
to provide and maintain insurance as required herein, then City shall have
the right but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance, to terminate this
Agreement, or to suspend Contractor's right to proceed until proper
evidence of insurance is provided. Any amounts paid by City shall, at City's
sole option, be deducted from amounts payable to Contractor or reimbursed
by Contractor upon demand.
H. Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely notice
of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor's
performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve
coverage under any of the required liability policies. 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.
Contractor's Insurance. Contractor 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.
