D. CONSULTANT and subconsultant AGREEMENTs, including cost proposals and Indirect Cost Rates
(ICR), may be subject to audits or reviews such as, but not limited to, an AGREEMENT audit, an
incurred cost audit, an ICR Audit, or a CPA ICR audit work paper review. If selected for audit or
review, the AGREEMENT, cost proposal and ICR and related work papers, if applicable, will be
reviewed to verify compliance with 48 CFR, Part 31 and other related laws and regulations. In the
instances of a CPA ICR audit work paper review it is CONSULTANT's responsibility to ensure federal,
LOCAL AGENCY, or local government officials are allowed full access to the CPA's work papers
including making copies as necessary. The AGREEMENT, cost proposal, and ICR shall be adjusted
by CONSULTANT and approved by LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform to the audit
or review recommendations. CONSULTANT agrees that individual terms of costs identified in the
audit report shall be incorporated into the AGREEMENT by this reference if directed by LOCAL
AGENCY at its sole discretion. Refusal by CONSULTANT to incorporate audit or review
recommendations, or to ensure that the federal, LOCAL AGENCY or local governments have access
to CPA work papers, will be considered a breach of AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination
of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.
E. CONSULTANT's Cost Proposal may be subject to a CPA ICR Audit Work Paper Review and/or audit
by Caltrans Audits and Investigation (A&I). Caltrans A&I, at its sole discretion, may review and/or
audit and approve the CPA ICR documentation. The Cost Proposal shall be adjusted by the
CONSULTANT and approved by the LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform to the Work
Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations
included in the audit report. Refusal by the CONSULTANT to incorporate the Work Paper Review
recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations included in the audit
report will be considered a breach of the AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the
AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.
1. During Caltrans A&I's review of the ICR audit work papers created by the CONSULTANT's
independent CPA, Caltrans A&I will work with the CPA and/or CONSULTANT toward a resolution
of issues that arise during the review. Each party agrees to use its best efforts to resolve any audit
disputes in a timely manner. If Caltrans A&I identifies significant issues during the review and is
unable to issue a cognizant approval letter, LOCAL AGENCY will reimburse the CONSULTANT
at an accepted ICR until a FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) compliant ICR {e.g. 48 CFR Part
31; GAAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards); CAS (Cost Accounting Standards), if
applicable; in accordance with procedures and guidelines of the American Association of State
Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Audit Guide; and other applicable procedures
and guidelines}is received and approved by A&I.
Accepted rates will be as follows:
a. If the proposed rate is less than one hundred fifty percent (150%) - the accepted rate
reimbursed will be ninety percent (90%) of the proposed rate.
b. If the proposed rate is between one hundred fifty percent (150%) and two hundred percent
(200%) - the accepted rate will be eighty-five percent (85%) of the proposed rate.
c. If the proposed rate is greater than two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be
seventy-five percent (75%) of the proposed rate.

2. If Caltrans A&I is unable to issue a cognizant letter per paragraph E.1. above, Caltrans A&I may
require CONSULTANT to submit a revised independent CPA -audited ICR and audit report within
three (3) months of the effective date of the management letter. Caltrans A&I will then have up to
six (6) months to review the CONSULTANT's and/or the independent CPA's revisions.
3. If the CONSULTANT fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph E, or if Caltrans A&I is
still unable to issue a cognizant approval letter after the revised independent CPA audited ICR is
submitted, overhead cost reimbursement will be limited to the accepted ICR that was established
upon initial rejection of the ICR and set forth in paragraph E.1. above for all rendered services. In
this event, this accepted ICR will become the actual and final ICR for reimbursement purposes
under this AGREEMENT.
4. CONSULTANT may submit to LOCAL AGENCY final invoice only when all of the following items
have occurred: (1) Caltrans A&I accepts or adjusts the original or revised independent CPA
audited ICR; (2) all work under this AGREEMENT has been completed to the satisfaction of
LOCAL AGENCY; and, (3) Caltrans A&I has issued its final ICR review letter. The CONSULTANT
MUST SUBMIT ITS FINAL INVOICE TO LOCAL AGENCY no later than sixty (60) calendar days

wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion thereof for which
each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate shall be paid to each worker by the
CONSULTANT or Subconsultant.
4. If a worker employed by a Subconsultant on a public works project is not paid the general
prevailing per diem wages by the Subconsultant, the prime CONSULTANT of the project is not

wages to the Subconsultant's employees on the public works project and any amounts due
pursuant to Labor Code §1813.
5. Pursuant to Labor Code §1775, LOCAL AGENCY shall notify the CONSULTANT on a public
works project within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of a complaint that a Subconsultant has
failed to pay workers the general prevailing rate of per diem wages.
6. If LOCAL AGENCY determines that employees of a Subconsultant were not paid the general
prevailing rate of per diem wages and if LOCAL AGENCY did not retain sufficient money under
the AGREEMENT to pay those employees the balance of wages owed under the general
prevailing rate of per diem wages, the CONSULTANT shall withhold an amount of moneys due
the Subconsultant sufficient to pay those employees the general prevailing rate of per diem wages
if requested by LOCAL AGENCY.
G. Hours of Labor
Eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day's work. The CONSULTANT shall forfeit, as a penalty to

ARTICLE XVIII DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (DBE) PARTICIPATION
A. This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR Part 26 entitled "Participation by Disadvantaged Business
Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs". CONSULTANTs who
enter into a federally -funded agreement will assist the LOCAL AGENCY in a good faith effort to
achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.
B. The goal for DBE participation for this AGREEMENT is 4_0%. Participation by DBE CONSULTANT
or subconsultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10-01: Consultant
Proposal DBE Commitment, or in Exhibit 10-02: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached
hereto and incorporated as part of the AGREEMENT. If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform,
CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if
the goal is not otherwise met.
C. CONSULTANT can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBEs to
meet the AGREEMENT goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the
AGREEMENT goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it
took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and
appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If
CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: DBE Information —
Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal. Refer to 49 CFR Part 26 for guidance
regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.
Page 12 of 21
D. DBEs and other small businesses, as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 are encouraged to participate in the
performance of AGREEMENTs financed in whole or in part with federal funds. The LOCAL AGENCY,,
CONSULTANT or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or
sex in the performance of this contract. The CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements
of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT -assisted contracts. Failure by the
CONSULTANT to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this AGREEMENT, which may
result in the termination of this AGREEMENT or such other remedy as the LOCAL AGENCY deems
appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
1. Withholding monthly progress payments;
2. Assessing sanctions;
3. Liquidated damages; and/or
4. Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non -responsible
E. A DBE firm may be terminated only with prior written approval from LOCAL AGENCY and only for
the reasons specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f). Prior to requesting LOCAL AGENCY consent for the
termination, CONSULTANT must meet the procedural requirements specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f). If
a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace
him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
F. Consultant shall not be entitled to any payment for such work or material unless it is performed or
supplied by the listed DBE or by other forces (including those of Consultant) pursuant to prior written
authorization of the LOCAL AGENCY's Contract Administrator.
G. A DBE is only eligible to be counted toward the AGREEMENT goal if it performs a commercially
useful function (CUF) on the AGREEMENT. CUF must be evaluated on an agreement by agreement
basis. A DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) when it is responsible for execution of
the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing,
and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with
respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality
and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself.
To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted,
industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the AGREEMENT is
commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction,
AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE
participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar
transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost
of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of
the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of
work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.
J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts
entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each
DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier. The
records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE prime
CONSULTANT's shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the
corresponding dollar value of the work.
K. Upon completion of the AGREEMENT, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted
on the form entitled, Exhibit 17-F: Final Report -Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
(DBE) First -Tier Subconsultants, certified correct by CONSULTANT or CONSULTANT's authorized
representative and shall be furnished to the Contract Administrator with the final invoice. Failure to
provide the summary of DBE payments with the final invoice will result in twenty-five percent (25%)
of the dollar value of the invoice being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount
Page 13 of 21
will be returned to CONSULTANT when a satisfactory "Final Report -Utilization of Disadvantaged
Business Enterprises (DBE), First -Tier Subconsultants" is submitted to the Contract Administrator.
L. If a DBE subconsultant is decertified during the life of the AGREEMENT, the decertified subconsultant
shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a subconsultant becomes a
certified DBE during the life of the AGREEMENT, the subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in
writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to LOCAL AGENCY's Contract
Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days.
M. Any subcontract entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT shall contain all of the provisions of this
section.
ARTICLE XIX INSURANCE
A. Scope of Coverage. During the term of this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall maintain, at no expense
to LOCAL AGENCY, 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 CONSULTANT's performance of services under this Agreement. Where CONSULTANT
is a professional not required to have a professional license, LOCAL AGENCY reserves the right to
require CONSULTANT to provide professional liability insurance pursuant to this section.
4. If it employs any person, CONSULTANT 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.
CONSULTANT's worker's compensation insurance shall be specifically endorsed to waive any
right of subrogation against LOCAL AGENCY.
B. Other Insurance Requirements. The insurance coverage required of the CONSULTANT 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 LOCAL AGENCY, its officers, agents, employees, and
volunteers, as additional insureds (for both ongoing and completed operations) under the policies.
2. The additional insured coverage under CONSULTANT'S insurance policies shall be "primary and
noncontributory" with respect to any insurance or coverage maintained by LOCAL AGENCY and
shall not call upon LOCAL AGENCY's insurance or self-insurance coverage for any contribution.

as ISO form CG20 01 04 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, CONSULTANT hereby grants to LOCAL AGENCY a waiver of
any right to subrogation which any insurer of CONSULTANT may acquire against LOCAL
AGENCY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. CONSULTANT agrees to
obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this
provision applies regardless of whether or not LOCAL AGENCY has received a waiver of
subrogation endorsement from the insurer.
Page 14 of 21
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 LOCAL AGENCY (if agreed to in a written contract or agreement) before LOCAL
AGENCY'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 LOCAL AGENCY 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
CONSULTANT under this agreement.
C. Deductibles and SIR's. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions in CONSULTANT'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 LOCAL AGENCY
or other additional insured party. At LOCAL AGENCY's option, the deductibles or self-insured retentions
with respect to LOCAL AGENCY shall be reduced or eliminated to LOCAL AGENCY's satisfaction, or
CONSULTANT shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claims
administration, attorney's fees and defense expenses.
D. Proof of Insurance. CONSULTANT shall provide to the PROJECT MANAGER or LOCAL AGENCY'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. LOCAL
AGENCY reserves the right to obtain a full certified copy of any insurance policy and endorsements from
CONSULTANT. 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.

RE: COVID-19 JSAS RFQ
Dear Mr. Nicholson
N V 5
June 15, 2020
NV5 is pleased to present this proposal to perform COVID-19 Jobsite Safety Accountability Supervisor (JSAS)
services for the City of San Rafael.
We understand that new regulations went into effect on May 4, 2020 regarding safety protocols for large
construction sites. Our team is prepared to support your project site in implementing and verifying compliance
with these new regulations by providing a Third -Party Jobsite Safety Accountability Supervisor (JSAS) as identified
in Appendix B-2 Large Construction Project Safety Protocol, Section 2. j.
Our proposed JSAS team members each are OSHA 30 Certified and First Aid Trained, and are extensively
familiar with Marin County Health Orders regarding B-2 Large Construction, Face Coverings, and other relevant
orders governing COVID-19 safety for construction sites.
NV5 is a provider of engineering and consulting services, offering solutions through five business verticals: Energy,
Construction Quality Assurance, Infrastructure, Program Management and Environmental. NV5's diverse team
of experts and leading edge technological platforms is unmatched in today's marketplace. OurJSAS team has been
supporting multiple sites throughout the Bay Area since May 4, 2020, and are familiar with, and comfortable in
verifying compliance with B-2 Large Construction Project Safety Protocol. We have supported and guided contractors
to bringing their SSP into compliance, implementing safety measures and processes on site, and maintaining
compliance with those new regulations.
We have reviewed the sample Professional Services Agreement and are able to agree to the terms as -is. Kevin
Wedman is our authorized representative who can bind the firm. We are in receipt of Addendum 1 dated June
4, and Addendum 2 dated June 8. We understand at this time no fee schedule is to be submitted and no DBE
requirement is included for this proposal. If requested, NV5 can submit our cost proposal in the form of Exhibit 10-
H, or other form as required by the City of San Rafael.
Lastly, we are available to discuss our qualifications in the form of an interview on Thursday, June 25, as noted in
Addendum 2.
Our team is prepared to be on site as soon as construction starts, and will support the project through to
completion.

EXPERIENCE AND TECHNICAL COMPETENCE
SAFETY AND INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE
Safeguarding some of the most complex work sites on Earth.
NV5 is an experienced safety and industrial hygiene firm with decades of experience supporting construction
projects throughout the United States and California. We are certified industrial hygienists and certified safety
professionals, providing a comprehensive array of industrial hygiene (IH) services across the country and in widely
varying contexts. From surveys and program development to full-time field services, NV5's effective IH programs
anticipate hazards, evaluate severity, and implement controls to reduce or eliminate exposure which may cause
sickness, impaired health or well-being, or significant discomfort and inefficiency among workers.
JOBSITE SAFETY ACCOUNTABILITY SUPERVISOR
Decades of experience dealing with pathogenic
threats.
Recently, due to the new COVID-19 Health Orders
adopted by multiple Counties, include Marin County,
our team has become experts in Jobsite Safety
Accountability Supervisor (JSAS) and Site Compliance
Officer (SCO) requirements for projects that fall under
the B-2 Large Construction Project Safety Protocol.
We have developed a checklist to ensure our JSAS
verifies each element of the Marin County B-2
Protocol. This checklist is also shared with the SCO
so they are aware of the requirements and what our
team looks for. We then work with the SCO to address
any issues observed in the updated Site Specific Plan
and on the site. These elements include:
• Social Distancing Requirements
• Employee PPE Training and Records
• Wash Stations or Hand Sanitizers that are Effective Against COVID-19
• Daily Attendance Logs
• Signage, Cleaning, and Sanitation Practices
• Community Spread Reduction Plan
• Safety Compliance Officer Requirements
Our goal is to facilitate compliance so projects are not delayed. Our intent is not to issue stop -work orders for
every compliance issue, but instead to educate the contractor and site personnel on the importance of these
orders for their safety, and the safety of their family. At the end of the day, everyone wants to return home safely
and educating the site teams on the intent, the "why", and how to easily achieve compliance, changes the culture
of the site and reinforces the mentality to follow the new COVID-19 protocols.

STAFFING PLAN
Our proposed staffing plan is to provide one JSAS to perform site audits for the project, at a frequency of not
less than once per week. The RFP notes that work will take place at night, and our team will have the necessary
equipment to support night work.
We recommend one visit per week to verify compliance with the B-2 Large Construction Project Safety Protocols
is maintained however, should our JSAS find that compliance is slipping, our team may increase the frequency of
these visits to better support the SCO and site.
SSP Review: Prior to reporting to the site, our JSAS will review the Site Specific Safety Plan (SSP) and verify it
meets the requirements and intent of the B-2 Large Construction Project Safety Protocol and any other Marin
County regulations for COVID-19 safety on construction sites. We will then make comments for revisions to bring
the SSP into compliance.
Initial Site Audit. An initial site audit will be performed, ideally prior to construction beginning. This initial audit
will review and verify that the site is marked appropriately, hand wash / sanitizing stations are adequate, PPE is
provided and accessible, sanitizing and cleaning products are provided and accessible, etc. We will prepare a
report identifying any items that need to be addressed, along with photographic documentation.
Follow Up Site Audits: Follow up audit will be conducted weekly, or at the frequency necessary to verify the site
maintains compliance with B-2 Large Construction Project Safety Protocols. During the follow up audits, our JSAS
will walk the site to verify compliance is maintained, conduct interviews with site workers to gather feedback
and additional information, and take photos to document the site. A report will be generated detailing findings,
including the photographs taken during the visit.
