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 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, 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.
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.
CONTRACTOR shall not discriminate, in any way, against any person on the basis
of age, sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin or disability in connection with or
related to the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

CONTRACTOR shall observe and comply with all applicable federal, state and local
laws, ordinances, codes and regulations, in the performance of its duties and obligations
under this Agreement. CONTRACTOR shall perform all services under this Agreement in

release, defend, indemnify and 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.

create in any third party, any benefit or right owed by one party, under the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, to the other party.

Re: Public Library & Community Center Conceptual Design Study
Dear Mr. Bankhead and Members of the Selection Committee:
We have so enjoyed working with the City of San Rafael and your dedicated staff in the last few years Working
with people like you and Susan is what inspires us about our public clients—we see you making a difference in
your community and are encouraged to perform our best work. Noll & Tam is pleased to have the opportunity
to continue our work with you, and we present our proposal to provide conceptual design services for a
combined Library and Community Center building at Albert Park.
This project is a necessary step to develop the concept of a new building at Albert Park to the same level
as the other alternatives that have been studied. Once this study is complete, the City will have all the
information they need to make an important decision about the future of the San Rafael Public Library system.
Noll & Tam believes we are the ideal consultant for this project because:
• We have a comprehensive understanding of the work completed to date - this will allow us to minimize
start-up time and provide you with the end product you are looking for.
• We have a strong working relationship with the City and understand how to work with you - this will
streamline the process and allow for easy communication.
• We have a strong portfolio in both libraries and community centers - this will enable us to present you with
informed and feasible design concepts.
• We are passionate about this project, and we love to work with the City of San Rafael - we are assigning our
"A" team, and you will have our full attention.
For this project, we have brought together a great team of experienced people to lead a comprehensive and
engaging process. I will be the Principal in Charge, actively leading our team's efforts, joined by Alyson Yarus
as Project Manager and Trina Goodwin as Space Planner/Interiors Architect. All three of us have worked
with you before and look forward to working with you again. We are joined by RHAA, talented landscape
architects who will be able to come up with creative ideas for the outdoor spaces. In the following pages, we
have provided our staff experience, our proposed scope of work, and our firm experience to give the City an
understanding what our firm has to offer.
We are confident that, together, we will develop a conceptual design that will identify viable solutions for the
San Rafael Public Library system to enhance services offered to the community. Our goal for this project will
be to provide the City with information necessary to make a decision about the best path forward. Our team
will give this project all the enthusiasm, energy, and conscientious effort for which we are known.
Sincerely,
Christopher Noll, FAIA, LEED AP

SUBCONSULTANTS
We have brought aboard a trusted
landscape architecture firm, RHAA,
to help us in the site evaluation and
conceptual design.
RHAA FIRM PROFILE
RHAA has a long history of
environmental stewardship and
a holistic design vision. They are
known for their site sensitive design
approach that provides the maximum
benefit for the least use of available
resources while creating places that
enrich the fabric of their communities.
Whether working in the heart of a city
or in a pristine natural environment,
the firm strives to find the spirit of
the place and weave together history,
nature, human relationships, stories,
art, environment and culture to create
unique and beautiful landscapes.
Their goal is to let the context - the
site and its user community - speak
for itself.
Throughout its 60 year history, RHAA
has developed a strong Community
Center and Library portfolio. Recent
projects include the Hayward 21st
Century Library & Heritage Plaza
Arboretum and the Burlingame
Community Center. In each of its
projects, RHAA works closely with
the architect to create a robust site
program that is well integrated with
the interior design and function of
the building. Such integration serves
to expand and upgrade the usability
of each site.
RHAA's 30 person landscape
architecture design and planning
firm with offices in Mill Valley and
San Francisco has the capability to
assist in multiple projects with tight
deadlines. The firm understands that
during the unprecedented time of
COVID 19 they must be innovative
and flexible with their collaboration
strategies. RHAA has developed
particular expertise in working with
local, state and federal agencies
and their staff, in conducting public
meetings and community workshops,
in managing multidisciplinary teams,
n meeting construction budgets
and management requirements,
and in preparing construction
documents. They specialize in a
collaborative design and visioning
process that engages clients and
stakeholder groups with the design
team - creating a dialogue where
the needs and opportunities of the
project are explored. RHAA uses
sketches, drawings, and three-
dimensional computer models to
help clients envision design ideas,
and they prepare detailed design and
construction documents that bring
these visions to reality.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
This project is an exciting one for
the City of San Rafael, because it
will provide the City with the tools
to move forward with the vision
for a renewed main library that
has been 20 years in the making,
while incorporating a new vision
for a combined community center
in keeping with the aspirations of
the City's current goals for public
services. San Rafael is faced with
the question of how best to improve
all of its community facilities and
create a place for all ages that houses
learning, community, and play.
Understandably, this is a decision
that has many stakeholders with
strong voices, and faces scrutiny that
the decision be made fairly and with
due attention given to all aspects of
the issue.
SCHEDULE
The existing San Rafael Community
Center in Albert Park is a well used
and important City facility, but a new
community center combined with a
new main library at this location has
the potential to become a vibrant and
important center of City life. Centered
around the beautiful existing garden,
adjacent to the sports fields and the
Children's Center, and next door to
the bocce club, with activities and
facilities for all ages and different
interests, this new building can serve
as a model for the integration of
library and community functions. It
can be a place where every citizen of
San Rafael can learn, grow, and create
new memories.
To provide the City with the
appropriate information to be able
to make a decision about the next
steps, we will deliver a high level and
clear assessment of the opportunities
of the Albert Park site. This work
will advance what both we (Noll &
Tam) and Kappe + Du have done
previously such that an "apples to
apples" comparison can be made of
the various paths forward.
We will move this work forward while
maintaining the City's schedule and
being respectful of the City's budget.
We will provide a "right -sized" study
- one that provides an analysis that
can be compared to the other sites.
At this juncture, we understand that
there is no need for engineering
input or assessment, as that would
actually elevate the complexity of this
study beyond the other sites, and
potentially trigger requests to update
the work in other areas.

FINANCIAL MONITORING
A project cannot be successful if it
is not based upon realistic financial
assumptions. Our team brings a great
deal of experience in developing
project budgets that are aggressive
but achievable.
We will start out our budgeting
process by assessing all of the
goals, aspirations, constraints, and
limitations of the project that have
been expressed to date. We know
that the City has a limited budget for
this study, and we intend to stay on
schedule and therefore on budget for
the (short) duration of this work.
We will partner with you to establish
goals and priorities, and facilitate
discussions that sort them out into
achievable project scenarios. Our
goal will be to listen to all parties
carefully, document everyone's
goals for the record, iefine and
synthesize scope items as possible,
explore an appropriate number of
alternatives, and guide the decision-
making process towards a common,
achievable set of program and
budget goals.
QUALITY ASSURANCE/
QUALITY CONTROL
0A/OC for a study is a bit different
than when we are putting together
a full set of construction documents
for public bid. One of the keys
to a successful study is principal
involvement and direction. We have
dedicated senior staff to this protect
— the same staff who have been
working with you over the last few
years. They will remain committed
and hands-on throughout, ensuring
that the concepts being developed
are in line with what has been
expressed by the Working Group and
City staff Our project manager will
ensure that the process remains on
schedule and on budget, and that the
final deliverables are of the quality
that the City expects.
PROJECT COORDINATION
This project has a quick schedule,
and one of the keys to maintaining
that schedule will be effective project
coordination, collaboration, and
timely decision making. Noll & Tam
is proposing a lean team: the key
staff shown In this proposal will be
your project team, supported by one
or Iwo technical staff. Our team will
launch the project through a Zoom
kickoff meeting and continue internal
project communication through
various online platforms, keeping in
close communication and moving the
project forward.
We have found that one of the key
elements to a successful partnership
with our public clients is the ability to
facilitate a collaborative process that
responds directly to concerns of the
client, users, and community. Noll &
Tani will work closely with C ty staff
to identify important project priorities
and develop tangible strategies to
achieve these priorities. We know
you and your staff well and would
anticipate being able to "hit the
ground running" and lead this project
to a successful conclusion.

PROJECT WORK PLAN
KICKOFF MEETING:
We will initiate the project by having
a collaborative working session
with the Library's Working Group,
City staff, the design team, and key
community stakeholders. We will
discuss the overall goals and mission
for the project, review the decision
making process, assess the budget,
and determine key milestones in
the project schedule. We will work
with your team to understand what
can work best for you and what you
envision for the future of this shared
facility.
Deliverables: A written summary of
project goals and priorities.
PRELIMINARY WORK:
Noll & Tam will begin by reviewing
any existing documentation about
the site and the work already
completed. Noll & Tam and our
landscape architect RHAA will
visit the site to experience the
environment and its surrounding
streetscape and the relationship
to the surrounding amenities. Site
diagramming will be undertaken
to identify site conditions and
constraints, landscape areas, as
well as parking requirements. We
will develop two site plan options
that will indicate the site area of the
building, parking layout, and potential
recreational use of the surrounding
landscape.
Upon review and input from the
stakeholders on these two site plan
options we will develop a f nal and
third site plan.
Deliverables: Two site plan
alternatives followed by a third and
` n i p f>rr d annotat:,d plan.
HALF MOON BAY LIBRARY
CONCEPT DESIGN OPTIONS:
With your agreed upon site plan as
a basis, we will study three design
options for the plan layouts of the
various spatial components within
the building. Each will be shown
integrated with the landscaped
environment.
We will create a criteria list that
assists the team in evaluating
the pros and cons of each option.
Upon review and input from the
stakeholders on these three options
for the building plans we will develop
final sets of enlarged conceptual floor
plans for the building.
For each of the three design
alternatives, we will study the
massing of the building and develop
a design approach to the character of
the building facades situated on the
site.
Deliverables: Thre. different
on: eptual building floor plan
options. Deliverables also include
loose massing diagram drawings and
architectural character sketches.
FINAL DELIVERABLES:
he selected Conceptual Design
scheme will be determined through
a process that includes input from
the Library Working Group and
asks & Rec staff. After the preferred
scheme is selected, we will develop
presentation -level materials for the
preferred scheme, which we will
present to the City Council, and
which can be used in presentation to
the community.
Deliverables: Preferred annotated

floor plans, sections, levathons. and
three renderings (two exterior, one
interior) of preferred alternative for
use in presentations.

EXPERIENCE
Noll & Tam Architects delivers the
full set of services and experience
requested by the City of San Rafael.
We are known for our skill with
library planning and design, and have
completed programming, planning,
and design for numerous community
and recreation centers. In the
following pages, we have included
representative projects which show
the full breadth of services we can
provide, and have also included the
work of RHAA, who will be a close
partner throughout this project.
ANTIOCH COMMUNITY CENTER
LIBRARY
EXPERIENCE
Noll & Tam is perhaps best known
as library design experts, and will
be able to bring our considerable
experience in modern library trends
to this project. Libraries have
greatly expanded their role in the
contemporary community. Their
mission to promote equal access
to knowledge endures, but the last
20 years have brought remarkable
changes in its delivery. This is due
both to advances in technology and
to changing community expectations
Libraries are no longer just a place
where you can borrow and read
a book. They are the focus of the
local community - a place to meet
friends and access the Internet
with the latest technology, offering
expanded reference resources,
audio-visual collections, government
services, after-school care, homework
centers, resources for business, job
search resources, literacy programs,
genealogy resources, local history,
and continuing education.
COMMUNITY CENTER
EXPERIENCE
Noll & Tam has considerable
experience in the design of both
new and renovated community
facilities and recreation centers.
Our experience has shown us that
in order for these facilities to be
embraced by their communities, a
recreation center must meet the
wide-ranging needs of the population
it serves, with a move toward multi-
generational and flexible spaces that
can adapt to changing needs and
demographics. Community facilities
promote personal connection and
can support family bonding, teach
youth life skills, and encourage active
and healthy participation among
all community members. Our goal
is always to create a community
recreation center that remains
relevant into the future, and to think
imaginatively about how the new
facility will relate to its community
and the larger context around it, both
physically and culturally.

MAIN BRANCH RENOVATION
Noll & Tam recently completed a project at the Napa Main Branch Library.
The $2.5M remodel addressed administration and circulation areas and paid
special attention to the Children's area. We expanded the storytime space
and added new lighting and ceiling features to support a "forest of books"
theme, introduced by a much -loved existing mural on the wall. A new entry
feature creates a welcoming portal into the updated 4000 -square -foot
Children's area.

WOODLAND LIBRARY MASTER PLAN
In 2016, Noll & Tam was engaged to develop a Fac !ity Master Plan for the
oldest operating Carnegie library in California, the Woodland Library. The
last update to the library was almost 30 years ago, and the needs of the staff
and community have far outpaced the capacity of the current facility to meet
those needs. With the goal of securing support and funding, our Facility
Master P an identifies a range of short- to long-term renovation projects
which wi I provide a road map for the library to implement immediate
improvements, while planning for longer term projects as funding permits.
Focused on flexibility, the facility master plan will be a useful management
tool into the future, guiding the library's development as its needs change
over time.

SANTA CRUZ DOWNTOWN LIBRARY STUDY
The City of Santa Cruz hired Noll & Tam to study the options for renovating,
rebuilding or moving their Downtown l ibrary, which serves the entire
region. The current building is aged, deteriorated, and struggles to provide
contemporary services for its community. We evaluated the existing building
programmatically and structurally and assessed the cost of renovating it
to meet current needs. We also developed site and design criteria which
were used to evaluate a number of options for relocation of the library. The
new building program we developed with library facilities consultant Penny
Hummel will be the foundation when the City determines which option to
move forward w'th.

Noll & Tam and Penny Hummel completed a space needs and preliminary
building program to update the 3,500 SF Belle Haven Branch Library in
Menlo Park. Constructed in 1999 as an attached wing of an elementary
school facility, the Belle Haven Branch is operated by the City of Menlo
Park as a dual use school/public library. Working with City staff from the
Library and Public Works departments, the project team gathered broad
based community input, reviewed community demographics and library
usage patterns, analyzed and synthesized previous studies and assessments
of commun ty needs, and compared current sery ce levels with best
planning practices. At the end of the process, the team published a report
recommending the development of a new library branch.

CHERRYLAND COMMUNITY CENTER
Noll & Tam worked with the Alameda County Redevelopment Agency and
Hayward Area Recreat-on and Park D strict (HARD) to program and design
a new community center n the unincorporated community of Cherryland,
a historically underserved area in Alameda County near San Leandro. We
explored several site locations and building size options in the concept
design phase, with the goal of identifying the best option for the community
center. We facilitated multiple community workshops and steering committee
meetings that helped to develop a wish list and priorities for the new 18,500
SF center. The project is schedule to complete construction at the end of
2020.

ANTIOCH COMMUNITY CENTER
Noll & am was the prime architect for a new 35,000 SF recreation facility in
the City of Antioch. Working collaboratively with T he Sports Management
Group (T SMG), we explored many options for a community building. The
multi use gymnasium is a primary component to the facility and is intended
to generate revenue. T he program also includes a community hall and
classrooms that can be configured into one large room or smaller rooms
using operable partitions. The project's goals include taking advantage of
indoor outdoor relationships and incorporating many sustainable features.
The building's design features a strong connection to the existing hills and
is sited so that the west and east glazing is minimized, and the south entry
elevation is properly shaded with sunscreens and trees.

PRELIMINARY MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW
Stafford Lake Master Plan
On behalf of Marin County Parks, RHAA prepared a master plan for Stafford
Lake Park, a 1 39 -acre regional park three miles west of Novato. Considered
one of the county's flagship facilities, the park features picnic and event
space, fishing, open lawn, disc golf, and other recreational facilities. RHAA
was tasked with taking a fresh look at the park's visioning, expanding upon
the park's inherent qualities while adding programmatic, recreational, and
environmental value for the park's growing and evolving demographics.
Working with the County, RHAA conducted extensive community outreach to
develop a comprehensive master plan that will improve connectivity, expand
programmatic opportunities, and explore innovative elements to enhance
park users' experience.
