10. INSURANCE.
A. Scope of Coverage. During the term of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall
maintain, at no expense to CITY, the following insurance policies:
1. A commercial general liability insurance policy in the minimum amount of
one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence/two million dollars ($2,000,000) aggregate, for death,
bodily injury, personal injury, or property damage.
2. An automobile liability (owned, non -owned, and hired vehicles) insurance
policy in the minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) dollars per occurrence.
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
operations) under the policies.
2. The additional insured coverage under CONTRACTOR'S insurance policies
shall be "primary and noncontributory" with respect to any insurance or coverage maintained by
CITY and shall not call upon CITY's insurance or self-insurance coverage for any contribution. The
"primary and noncontributory" coverage in CONTRACTOR'S policies shall be at least as broad as
ISO form CG20 0104 13.

4. By execution of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR hereby grants to
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: (1) 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
available to the named insured; whichever is greater. No representation is made that the minimum
Insurance requirements of this agreement are sufficient to cover the obligations of the
CONTRACTOR under this agreement.
C. Deductibles and SIR's. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions in
CONTRACTOR's insurance policies must be declared to and approved by the PROJECT
MANAGER and City Attorney, and shall not reduce the limits of liability. Policies containing any
self-insured retention (SIR) provision shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the SIR may be
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 of Insurance 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
MANAGER and the City Attorney.
11. INDEMNIFICATION.
A. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph B., CONTRACTOR shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, indemnify, release, defend with counsel approved by CITY, and hold
harmless CITY, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers (collectively, the "City
Indemnitees"), from and against any claim, demand, suit, judgment, loss, liability or expense of
any kind, including but not limited to attorney's fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of
litigation, (collectively "CLAIMS"), arising out of CONTRACTOR'S performance of its
obligations or conduct of its operations under this Agreement. The CONTRACTOR's obligations
apply regardless of whether or not a liability is caused or contributed to by the active or passive
negligence of the City Indemnitees. However, to the extent that liability is caused by the active
negligence or willful misconduct of the City Indemnitees, the CONTRACTOR's
indemnification obligation shall be reduced in proportion to the City Indemnitees' share of
liability for the active negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, the acceptance or approval of
the CONTRACTOR's work or work product by the CITY or any of its directors, officers or
employees shall not relieve or reduce the CONTRACTOR's indemnification obligations. In the
event the City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding
arising from CONTRACTOR'S performance of or operations under this Agreement,
CONTRACTOR shall provide a defense to the City Indemnitees or at CITY'S option reimburse
the City Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in
defense of such claims.
5
B. Where the services to be provided by CONTRACTOR under this Agreement are
design professional services to be performed by a design professional as that term is defined under
Civil Code Section 2782.8, then, to the extent permitted by law including without limitation, Civil
Code sections 2782, 2782.6 and 2782.8, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold harmless the
CITY and its officers, officials, and employees (collectively City Indemnitees) from and against
damages, liabilities or costs (including incidental damages. Court costs, reasonable attorney's fees
as may be determined by the Court, litigation expenses and fees of expert witnesses incurred in
connection therewith and costs of investigation) to the extent they are caused by the negligence,
recklessness, or willful misconduct of CONTRACTOR, or any subconsultants, or subcontractor
or anyone directly or indirectly employed by them, or anyone for whom they are legally liable
(collectively Liabilities). Such obligation to hold harmless and indemnify any indemnity shall not
apply to the extent that such Liabilities are caused in part by the negligence or willful misconduct
of such City Indemnitee.
C. The defense and indemnification obligations of this Agreement are undertaken in
addition to, and shall not in any way be limited by, the insurance obligations contained in this
Agreement, and shall survive the termination or completion of this Agreement for the full period
of time allowed by law.
12. NONDISCRIMINATION.

hold harmless CITY, its officers, agents and employees from any and all damages, liabilities,
penalties, fines and all other consequences from any noncompliance or violation of any laws,
ordinances, codes or regulations.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
USER FEE STUDY WORK PLAN
This section of the proposal identifies MGT understanding of the City's requirements for
preparation of the City's user fee study. We will work with City staff to build a solid foundation
to design a fee schedule that reflects the way that the City wishes to manage its cost recovery
program.
The following is a detailed work plan that identifies the tasks necessary to complete the study.
TASK 1.0: CONDUCT INTRODUCTORY MEETINGS WITH RELEVANT PERSONNEL
Meet with City personnel who have responsibility or a high interest in the user fee study. This
meeting will refine the specific objectives, requirements, measurements, and schedule of the user
fee study, and will establish the overall objectives of the study. We consider this meeting vital to
successful project results including acceptance by department directors and officials as well as the
City's elected officials.
TASK 2.0: COMPARISON SURVEY
To determine practices by surrounding cities that charge for similar services, and to augment
MGT's existing knowledge of industry standards and best practices, MGT will conduct a survey
based on a limited number of common fees and up to five comparison agencies. Our team will
assist the City to select the best cities to use for comparison purposes and help design the
comparison study to help the City to develop new fees and charges, as well as generally understand
relative fee recovery levels. MGT will also provide the City with a list of similar cities who have
recently had fee studies done, so the comparison numbers are relevant.
Surveys and comparisons that look solely at per fee amounts are of limited value. MGT's
comparison surveys provide additional demographic and structural information that provides
perspectives required to make informed fee level recommendations. This level of analysis isn't
necessary for all departments and all fees, but is very useful for complex areas, such as building.
TASK 3.0: COLLECT BASIC FINANCIAL DATA
MGT will collect and compile financial data such as expenditure statements, budgets, and salary
reports. We will work with City personnel to develop and gather the needed data in the most
efficient way possible. This data will provide the foundation for developing the total costs, direct
and indirect, associated with each user fee service identified in Tasks 4 and 5.
TASK 4.0: CATALOG ALL EXISTING USER FEE ACTIVITIES
MGT will create an inventory of all the user fee services provided by the City.
TASK 5.0: IDENTIFY POTENTIAL NEW USER FEE SERVICES
Using our experience in other jurisdictions and our extensive data base of fees, we will create an
inventory of potential new user fee services that are currently provided by the City but have no
corresponding current revenue.
10
TASK 6.0: ISSUE AN INVENTORY MEMORANDUM
Based on the outcomes from Tasks 4 and 5, MGT will write and issue a memorandum documenting
all user fees within selected departments within the City. This inventory will establish the scope
of the services to be included in the cost analysis.
TASK 7.0: DEVELOP DATA GATHERING WORKBOOKS
Using the financial and staffing information and user fee inventory collected in earlier tasks, MGT
will develop data gathering workbooks to be used when interviewing city personnel. MGT will
pre -populate our Excel -based user fee model with staffing and budget information, user fee
services, and other support or non -fee related functions. These workbooks are extremely helpful
in facilitating discussion about how user fee services are provided and will also provide the City
with a comprehensive view of resource allocation and utilization for each department included in
the study.
TASK 8.0: INTERVIEW DEPARTMENTS, DIVISIONS, OR UNITS PROVIDING USER
FEE SERVICES
MGT will interview City personnel providing the user fee services identified in Tasks 4 and 5. In
these interviews, we will determine the following information related to the user fee services
provided:
• A unit of measurement for each user fee service provided.
• The personnel providing each user fee service.
• The amount of time spent to provide one unit of a user fee service.
• The amount of time spent per year providing all user fee services.
TASK 9.0: PREPARE DRAFT USER FEE SCHEDULES
MGT will enter data into the firm's user fee calculation model, including any indirect costs that
are not captured by the City's cost allocation plan. We will then calculate the full direct costs and
indirect costs of each existing and potential new user fee service.
The user fee schedules created in this task are extremely detailed. Every cost component of the
user fee service is identified and supported by detailed, yet clearly and concisely presented
calculations. MGT will identify and compare services cost with existing recovery levels. Up to
three versions of the draft schedules are included in this scope.
TASK 10.0: CONDUCT INTERNAL REVIEW OF THE DRAFT FEE SCHEDULES
MGT will undertake an internal review process to increase the precision of the user fee schedules.
This review includes the following steps:
• A formal review by the project director of the study's assumptions and output.
Compare user fee calculations to prior studies, if available. Variances are identified,
researched, understood, and explained to relevant individuals. The comparison and
variance analysis between years, which is available to City personnel, raises the accuracy
of project results.
A final review of the user fee model by a project quality assurance consultant. This
experienced consultant, although not directly involved in the project, has a fresher
perspective of the project than does the lead and project consultants. This perspective
incorporates knowledge from dozens of similar projects.
TASK 11.0: PRESENT INITIAL CALCULATIONS TO DEPARTMENTS AND
STAKEHOLDERS
MGT will review the initial user fee calculations with personnel from each department, division,
section, or unit; make changes as required.
Although the user fee schedules are detailed, our consultants will spend as much time as requested
with city personnel to fully explain the cost components of each user fee service. Our experience
in conducting hundreds of these types of reviews helps facilitate this step.
TASK 12.0: RECALCULATE AND REVIEW USER FEE SCHEDULES
Recalculate data as required within the agreed upon review window. To keep the bid as reasonable
as possible, we have calculated the number of hours to include two drafts of the user fee schedules
and one final version. If the City requires additional drafts, we will be happy to provide them on a
time and expenses basis.
TASK 13.0: DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FEE ADJUSTMENTS
MGT will work with City personnel and stakeholders to review and apply existing policies
regarding cost recovery. San Rafael staff and Council spent considerable effort to establish
appropriate cost -recovery percentage targets for each fee area during the 2011 study. MGT will
work with staff and Council to update these policies for the current environment.
Recommendations for modifications to the City's policies for cost recovery of user fee services
will also be considered.
City officials will consider many factors when deciding to adopt or modify a user fee policy. These
factors could include:
• All MGT recommendations will comply with State limitations.
• A desired policy to establish user fees at a level that permits lower income groups to
participate in services that they might not otherwise be able to afford.
• A consideration of community -wide benefit versus specific benefit.
• Public -sector agencies' monopoly on providing certain services within its boundaries, such
as development -related services.
• Pricing services that encourage or discourage certain behaviors.
• The cost of establishing a cost recovery system for some services may outweigh the
benefits derived for certain services.
• For recreation or community services where full cost recovery is unrealistic, develop a
policy and recommendations based on best practices and industry standards in the City's
region. This is encouraged under Proposition 26.
• best practices for collection of fees adopted by the City, which may include estimation and
collection of deposits and tracking costs for large development projects.
We bring to this project experience from many similar projects that will help City officials
understand the relevant factors involved and integrate the factors involved in determining City
policies.
12
TASK 14.0: PREPARE FINAL USER FEE SCHEDULES
MGT will prepare final user fee study summary schedules displaying costs and revenues of each
existing and potential user fee service. The user fee summary schedules will include the following
information:
• Master Fee Schedule
• A comprehensive list of all user fees by department
• Current fees charged
• The full cost of providing each user fee activity
• The subsidy (or over -recovery) of each fee
• Recommended adjustments to each fee
• A summary user fee cost analysis for each fee (shown here). This summary page is a terrific
way to see the pertinent elements of cost for every fee charged by the City without having
to dig through a large final user fee report. Citizens and city staff members who work with
them really appreciate these individual summaries.
TASK 15.0: PRESENT RESULTS TO OUTREACH GROUP AND CITY OFFICIALS
MGT will present, or assist in presenting, the final user fee study results to outreach groups (e.g.
Building Industry Association, chamber of commerce) and city officials. These presentations will
include a Report of Findings, summarized information on a fee -by -fee basis and all detail reports.
TASK 16.0: PROVIDE COPIES OF DOCUMENTS AND MATERIALS
Up to ten bound copies and one unbound copy of the final report, as well as an electronic of version
will be provided to the City (PDF).
TASK 17.0: PROVIDE MODEL AND TRAINING
Provide the final copies of the customized Excel -based cost of service models for future use by the
City as requested.
TASK 18.0: PROVIDE GUIDANCE AND ASSISTANCE
A hallmark of our client -centered approach is our desire to provide guidance, and assistance to all
appropriate city officials and personnel on reading, understanding and applying the results of the
user fee study, and the associated schedules and calculations.
