3. If any licensed professional performs any of the services required to be
performed under this Agreement, a professional liability insurance policy in the minimum amount of
one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence/two million dollars ($2,000,000) aggregate, to cover
any claims arising out of the CONTRACTOR 's performance of services under this Agreement.
Where CONTRACTOR is a professional not required to have a professional license, CITY reserves
the right to require CONTRACTOR to provide professional liability insurance pursuant to this
section.
4. If it employs any person, CONTRACTOR shall maintain worker's
compensation insurance, as required by the State of California, with statutory limits, and
employer's liability insurance with limits of no less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per
accident for bodily injury or disease. CONTRACTOR's worker's compensation insurance shall
be specifically endorsed to waive any right of subrogation against CITY.
B. Other Insurance Requirements. The insurance coverage required of the
CONTRACTOR in subparagraph A of this section above shall also meet the following requirements:
1. Except for professional liability insurance or worker's compensation
insurance, the insurance policies shall be specifically endorsed to include the CITY, its officers,
agents, employees, and volunteers, as additional insureds (for both ongoing and completed

2. The additional insured coverage under CONTRACTOR'S insurance policies
shall be "primary and non contributory'' with respect to any insurance or coverage maintained by

CITY a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of CONTRACTOR may acquire
against CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. CONTRACTOR
agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to effect this waiver of subrogation, but
this provision applies regardless of whether or not CITY has received a waiver of subrogation
endorsement from the insurer.
5. If the insurance is written on a Claims Made Form, then, following termination
of this Agreement, said insurance coverage shall survive for a period of not less than five years.
6. The insurance policies shall provide for a retroactive date of placement
coinciding with the effective date of this Agreement.
7. The limits of insurance required in this Agreement 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
noncontributory basis for the benefit of CITY (if agreed to in a written contract or agreement) before
CITY'S own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
8. It shall be a requirement under this Agreement that any available insurance
proceeds broader than or in excess of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or
limits shall be available to CITY or any other additional insured party. Furthermore, the requirements
for coverage and limits shall be: (I) the minimum coverage and limits specified in this Agreement; or
(2) the broader coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy or proceeds

MANAGER and City Attorney, and shall not reduce the limits of liability. Policies containing any

satisfied by either the named insured or CITY or other additional insured party. At CITY's option,
the deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to CITY shall be reduced or eliminated to
CITY's satisfaction, or CONTRACTOR shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and
related investigations, claims administration, attorney's fees and defense expenses.
D. Proof of Insurance. CONTRACTOR shall provide to the PROJECT MANAGER
or CITY'S City Attorney all of the following: (1) Certificates oflnsurance evidencing the insurance
coverage required in this Agreement; (2) a copy of the policy declaration page and/or endorsement
page listing all policy endorsements for the commercial general liability policy, and (3) excerpts of
policy language or specific endorsements evidencing the other insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement. CITY reserves the right to obtain a full certified copy of any insurance policy and
endorsements from CONTRACTOR. Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of
the right to exercise it later. The insurance shall be approved as to form and sufficiency by PROJECT
4
MANAGER and the City Attorney.

This proposal is based on general conversations held in November 2018 with Rebecca Woodbury, the
City of San Rafael's incoming Director of Department of Digital Service and Open Government and on
general assumptions regarding an IT operations assessment. If any of this information is invalid or
subsequently changes, time and costs estimates may be revised.
The City of San Rafael seeks to transform its Informational Technology division from a traditional IT
support function focused on other internal department to a City Department providing proactive and
strategic leadership to support and engage both internal resources and the community at large.
As a further challenge, the incoming Director has been charged to achieve this transformation within the
existing budget for the IT division. Director Woodbury seeks an assessment of current IT Operations to
support her planning for potential changes in current IT operations.
Specific goals for the assessment:
• Objective assessment of existing processes, procedures and personnel
• Identification of support requirements unique to City operations and those common to all
organizations
• Identification of potential cost savings and improvements to quality and user satisfaction.
The scope of this Discovery/ Assessment encompasses the following activities:
• Interview and observation of approx. 15 current IT personnel (FTE , Contractual/Consulting)
• Review of organization, processes, procedures and support tools for IT Functions and
Services (as listed in Phase 1 IT Audit report)
• Development of alternate scenarios with staffing , service, and cost impact
• Summary and presentation of findings and preliminary recommendations
Excluded from Scope : Meetings with those interviewed in 2017 and summarized in the Help Desk
Director Discussion report (City Clerk, Police, Fire chief , etc.).
Discovery/ Assessment will take approx. three weeks . Actual project schedule will be confirmed based
on proposal acceptance date and confirmation of engagement assumptions.
Week Activity
Week 1 On-site & web-conference discovery
Operating data review
Week2 Evaluation, analysis, recommendation development
Week3 Draft presentation -review with Director Woodbury
