be void and of no effect.
9. 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 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.
3. Except for professional liability insurance or worker's compensation insurance, the
insurance policies shall include, in their text or by endorsement, coverage for contractual liability and
personal injury.
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
3
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.
10. 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.
B. 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.
11. NONDISCRIMINATION.

Proposal for utility designation and mapping
Dear Kristine,
Thankyou forthe opportunityto submit this proposal to provide utility locating and mapping services forthe above
referenced project. Bess Testlab, Inc. (BESS) is pleased to offer the following summary of our scope of services,
conditions, schedule and fee proposal.
Project Summary
Underground utility survey is to be performed to locate all exsiting utilities at address above and as designated on
the attached map. Existing survey control to be provided by client. Deliverables requested are to be an AutoCAD
file and PDF exhibit of the utilities discovered.
Scone of Services
■ Utility Designation Services (Mark & Locate) —ASCE 38-02, Level "B"
BESS will perform utility investigation services using industry acceptable methods (i.e., electronic pipe and
cable locating equipment, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Pipeline Current Mapper (PCM), etc.) to
determine the approximate horizontal position and count of existing utilities within the areas designated
by CSWIST2. See attached exhibit map for a pictorial depiction of the proposed area(s) of utility
investigation services. BESS field crews will use a combination of water-based paint and pin flags (in the
appropriate APWA color) to mark the results of our investigation on the ground surface. BESS will compare
any available utility record information (supplied by client) with the results of field investigation services to
ensure all utilities have been accounted for. Utilities not identifiable by BESS field crews due to lack of
utility record information or above ground appurtenances will be marked with pink paint on the ground
surface and annotated as "Unknown" on project deliverables.
Gravity lines such as sewer, storm sewer, irrigation, etc., typically cannot be located using the above
methods due to lack of tracer wire or depth of the utility being beyond the limitations for GPR. In the event
we cannot locate these utilities and precise location and depth is needed, vacuum excavation (potholing)
or CCTV pipeline inspection would be required and can be provided for an additional fee.
■ Utility Mapping Services
Once utilities have been marked, BESS will perform a topographic survey of the area of interest to
document the utilities using a combination of RTK GPS, Robotic Total Station, IPS2 Mobile LiDAR, FARO
X300 scanner, IDS Stream EM (GPR utility mapper) and UAV Photogrammetry for the data collection. Client
must specify Coordinate system or provide local horizontal and vertical site control point data otherwise
data will be provided on an assumed local datum. BESS will provide either a shape file or AutoCAD drawing
done to BESS drafting standards, unless otherwise specified by the client and agreed upon. BESS will also
provide a PDF or TIF file of the AutoCAD drawing printable to scale on our standard title block. Point cloud,
3D terrain models and 3D utility models are not included in the pricing.

VI. UTILITY POTHOLING AND LOCATING TECHNICAL STANDARDS:
A. UTILITY POTHOLES. Information obtained by direct exposure of the existing utilities can greatly increase the level of confidence with respect to the location of
underground utilities at a particular job -site. Utility exposure (Utility Pothole) permits three-dimensional measurements, in relation to the existing surface elevation
and surface features, to be taken on utilities for accurate location at each pothole. The overall level of confidence with respect to the location of site utilities can be
raised by increasing the number of potholes examined; however, Bess Testlab, Inc. provides no guarantee of the location of utilities on the site other than at the
locations where potholes have been performed.
B. UTILITY LOCATING. Utility locating services include the horizontal, above ground detection and marking of underground utilities. Geophysical prospecting
methods are used to indicate the presence and surface position of buried utilities. Utility locating information should not be used for construction purposes, or
where exact horizontal and vertical measurements are required.
1. The accuracy of utility locating designating and depth of cover readings obtained by utilizing Geophysical and Ground Penetrating Radar equipment and
techniques are subject to field and soil conditions beyond our control. Bess Testlab, Inc. will make reasonable efforts to provide comprehensive and correct
positional utility marks to the limits obtainable by the instrumentation used and the existing ground conditions; however, Bess Testlab, Inc. provides no
guarantee that all existing utilities on a particular site will be properly located using these methods.
C. Utilizing Bess Testlab, Inc. utility locating and/or utility potholing services does not relieve any party from their obligation to contact the utility damage prevention
system before digging begins.
D. Utility marks placed on the ground by Bess Testlab, Inc. are not to be used for construction purposes.
E. Bess Testlab, Inc. do not conduct a study, investigation, analysis, or interpretation of soil composition, soil conditions, or other aspects of the physical earth. We
report retrieved data only. We do NOT provide geophysical geological or engineering services. Please contact a geophysicist, geologist, or engineer if you are
seeking the provision of geophysical, geological or engineering services.

Proposal for utility designation and mapping
Dear Kristine,
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to provide utility locating and mapping services for the above
referenced project. Bess Testlab, Inc. (BESS) is pleased to offer the following summary of our scope of services,
conditions, schedule and fee proposal.
Project Summary
Underground utility survey is to be performed to locate all exsiting utilities at address above and as designated on
the attached map. Existing survey control to be provided by client. Deliverables requested are to be an AutoCAD
file and PDF exhibit of the utilities discovered.
Scope of Services
■ Utility Designation Services (Mark & Locate) — ASCE 38-02, Level "B"
BESS will perform utility investigation services using industry acceptable methods (i.e., electronic pipe and
cable locating equipment, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Pipeline Current Mapper (PCM), etc.) to
determine the approximate horizontal position and count of existing utilities within the areas designated
by CSWIST2. See attached exhibit map for a pictorial depiction of the proposed area(s) of utility
investigation services. BESS field crews will use a combination of water-based paint and pin flags (in the
appropriate APWA color) to mark the results of our investigation on the ground surface. BESS will compare
any available utility record information (supplied by client) with the results of field investigation services to
ensure all utilities have been accounted for. Utilities not identifiable by BESS field crews due to lack of
utility record information or above ground appurtenances will be marked with pink paint on the ground
surface and annotated as "Unknown" on project deliverables.
Gravity lines such as sewer, storm sewer, irrigation, etc., typically cannot be located using the above
methods due to lack of tracer wire or depth of the utility being beyond the limitations for GPR. In the event
we cannot locate these utilities and precise location and depth is needed, vacuum excavation (potholing)
or CCTV pipeline inspection would be required and can be provided for an additional fee.
■ Utility Mapping Services
Once utilities have been marked, BESS will perform a topographic survey of the area of interest to
document the utilities using a combination of RTK GPS, Robotic Total Station, IPS2 Mobile LiDAR, FARO
X300 scanner, IDS Stream EM (GPR utility mapper) and UAV Photogrammetry for the data collection. Client
must specify Coordinate system or provide local horizontal and vertical site control point data otherwise
data will be provided on an assumed local datum. BESS will provide either a shape file or AutoCAD drawing
done to BESS drafting standards, unless otherwise specified by the client and agreed upon. BESS will also
provide a PDF or TIF file of the AutoCAD drawing printable to scale on our standard title block. Point cloud,
3D terrain models and 3D utility models are not included in the pricing.

VI. UTILITY POTHOLING AND LOCATING TECHNICAL STANDARDS:
A. UTILITY POTHOLES. Information obtained by direct exposure of the existing utilities can greatly increase the level of confidence with respect to the location of
underground utilities at a particular job -site. Utility exposure (Utility Pothole) permits three-dimensional measurements, in relation to the existing surface elevation
and surface features, to be taken on utilities for accurate location at each pothole. The overall level of confidence with respect to the location of site utilities can be
raised by increasing the number of potholes examined; however, Bess Testlab, Inc. provides no guarantee of the location of utilities on the site other than at the
locations where potholes have been performed.
B. UTILITY LOCATING. Utility locating services include the horizontal, above ground detection and marking of underground utilities. Geophysical prospecting
methods are used to indicate the presence and surface position of buried utilities. Utility locating information should not be used for construction purposes, or
where exact horizontal and vertical measurements are required.
1. The accuracy of utility locating designating and depth of cover readings obtained by utilizing Geophysical and Ground Penetrating Radar equipment and
techniques are subject to field and soil conditions beyond our control. Bess Testlab, Inc. will make reasonable efforts to provide comprehensive and correct
positional utility marks to the limits obtainable by the instrumentation used and the existing ground conditions; however, Bess Testlab, Inc. provides no
guarantee that all existing utilities on a particular site will be properly located using these methods.
C. Utilizing Bess Testlab, Inc. utility locating and/or utility potholing services does not relieve any party from their obligation to contact the utility damage prevention
system before digging begins.
D. Utility marks placed on the ground by Bess Testlab, Inc. are not to be used for construction purposes.
E. Bess Testlab, Inc. do not conduct a study, investigation, analysis. or interpretation of soil composition soil conditions or other aspects of the physical earth. We
report retrieved data only. We do NOT provide geophysical geological or engineering services. Please contact a geophysicist geologist, or engineer if you are
