I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The purpose of this Project is to conduct a community -informed technical feasibility study of sea level rise adaptation options along the greater Canal District shoreline of San Rafael ("Project Study Area"). It will include robust engagement in our priority equity community census tracts ("Primary Engagement Area") to ensure that underrepresented community members have a voice and that inclusive decision-making guides the process. The City of San Rafael will work with the County of Marin and community-based organization (CBO) project partners Canal Alliance and Multicultural Center of Marin ("Project Team") to build capacity of the two community-based organizations by hiring one staff person per organization to help lead the project and develop culturally relevant community engagement methods for these census tracts, which have been identified as most vulnerable by the Bay Conservation and Development Commission's 2020 Regional Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Adaptation Study. Geographically, the Project Study Area is the entire shoreline area within the boundaries of City of San Rafael and can be loosely framed by downtown on the west, the Richmond -San Rafael Bridge to the east, and McNears Beach to the north. The Project Study Area includes both sides of the San Rafael Canal. The Project Team will conduct a technical feasibility study that considers nature -based, hybrid, and hard infrastructure sea level rise adaptation measures within the Project Study Area. These will include but not be limited to consideration of the full range of nature -based solutions such as ecotone levees and subtidal habitat restoration, green -grey nprap, and traditional engineered solutions such as sea walls and a tide gate at the mouth of the Canal. Through the technical feasibility study and collaborative community planning process, a minimum of at least one project will be identified for further development and implementation. Additionally, the Project Team will produce community -developed policy language for the City's multi -hazard climate adaptation plan (currently in development, anticipated completion in spring 2025), and potentially other plans and guiding documents such as a proposed neighborhood specific plan, housing plan or strategy, and other General Plan -related documents. The Project will prototype and model a collaborative planning process that elevates the community's role in decision-making to be used in future resilience and adaptation planning work and other critical local policy decisions. Providing funding for staff at two community-based organizations will build capacity at each to engage fully in the project and advocate on behalf of their constituents. An effectiveness evaluation will summarize the process and guide future engagement efforts for the City and County. Rev. 08.22 A-1 II. CANAL ALLIANCE'S TASKS, DELIVERABLES, AND TIMELINES SCOPE OF WORK Task 1 Project Management Consultant will coordinate with the City to keep them informed about the status of project deliverables.

Subtask 1.2 Project Team Management The City is part of a collaborative Project Team that includes two CBOs— Canal Alliance and Multicultural Center of Marin (MCM) — and the County of Marin. While all team members have long supported work in the community, working together on this effort will require coordination as we establish stronger networks and trust with each other and the community. The Project Team will meet regularly to coordinate on the project strategy, review documents, prepare for meetings, and initiate and respond to communications with the public and other partners. Task 1 Deliverables: progress reports, invoices, and documentation Task 2 Community -Informed Technical Feasibility Stud The Consultant will support the project team with the technical feasibility study, providing feedback and analysis throughout the iterative study and design process. Task 3 Staff and Partner Traininiz Consultant will assist in organizing and leading of trainings to promote competencies in the foundational areas of this project: sea level rise (including causes and impacts, Adaptation Pathways, and nature -based solutions), equitable community engagement, and cultural competency. Subtask 3.1 Sea Level Rise Training Consultant will work with the project team to develop and attend a series of (6) trainings on the causes and implications of sea level rise, flooding, time scales, compounding effects, and the Adaptation Pathways approach to planning for sea level rise impacts.

Language, culture, norms, perceptions, and empathy training will be included, with a focus on the immigrant experience of people from Latin America, Vietnam, and other countries living in San Rafael. These will include information on the variety of affinity groups, resources, programs, and service providers currently engaged with residents. 08.22 2 Task 4 Community Engagement Consultant will support the Project Team to develop an engagement strategy and refine the timeline and schedule, conduct stakeholder mapping, identify key community partners, identify community resources for meeting facilitation and support, design materials, develop creative means of communication and documentation of the project, conduct workshops and trainings, develop a community Steering Committee, and develop questions and content for focus groups, surveys, and other community events and groups. The Consultant will work closely with the Project Team to develop culturally appropriate and understandable materials for ongoing feedback and input into the study. Subtask 4.1 Community Development The Consultant will hire one new part-time staff to build subject -matter expertise on sea level rise and engage with the community. The new staff member will work collaboratively with the Project Team to assist in the creation of a feasibility study, and assist the Project Team in conducting robust community engagement for the project. The Consultant will work with the Project Team to conduct stakeholder mapping to identify community champions, influencers, resources, affinity groups, and others that should be engaged at different levels throughout the Project. This will include the wide range of demographics represented in the area with a specific focus on the two primary equity census tracts conducted in three languages. It will include representation from the broader study area, as well as other relevant agencies and stakeholders, such as utilities and state and federal agencies. The Consultant, in its work with the Project Team, will refer to the stakeholder mapping and schedule interviews with key stakeholders to refine outreach strategies for the Project. Outreach strategies may include printed visuals (flyers, maps, etc.), electronic media, video content, block parties, volunteer ambassadors, school programming and classroom materials, and participation in existing community events. A particular focus will be on creative ways to engage people in multifamily housing since most of the residents in the Engagement Area are tenants and many are subletters. Presentations, participation at existing community events, and community block parties will be conducted to get input on the project at different stages and to identify the best methods of engagement as the project unfolds. Community outreach will be carried out collaboratively between the Consultant and Multicultural Center of Marin (MCM) LBOs and by other members of the Project Team while in others there will be a clear delineation based on constituencies and core competencies. For example, Consultant might lead engagement in multifamily housing and schools, while MCM will lead the video, radio, and other digital media development. 4.1 Deliverables: stakeholder mapping; copies of outreach materials from community events (minimum 4) and large-scale engagements like block parties (minimum 2), including translated materials; documentation of creative communications (such as links to social media account postings, photos and video recordings, project website link, list of trained volunteers, or other engagement products) 08.22 Subtask 4.2 Focus Groups Consultant will support or lead minimum of 6 focus groups consisting of stakeholders from the underrepresented census tracts in the Engagement Area will be conducted throughout the Project. Focus Groups will elevate people's concerns and thoughts regarding community resilience and methods of engagement to help guide the sea level rise planning process. Initial focus groups identifying community values, inclinations, and educational needs on key project topics will be led by MCM and supported by Consultant. Later focus groups on the draft feasibility study and housing security in relationship with climate adaptation will be led by Consultant and supported by MCM Focus group participants will be carefully chosen to ensure representation from residents that might not otherwise be easily engaged as identified through the stakeholder mapping process. 4.2 Deliverables: focus group attendance rosters; report on findings covering a minimum of (6) Focus Group sessions. Subtask 4.3 Steering Committee Consultant will support MCM and other Project Team partners to organize and coordinate a community Steering Committee for the Project that includes representation from the greater Project Study Area.

In addition, recommendations, priorities, and other outcomes will be assessed to identify inclusion in other City plans, strategies, and programs such as the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), Housing Element, or Safety Element of the City's General Plan. Subtask 5.1 Present to City and County Leadership The Consultant will work with the Project Team to prepare and conduct presentations to the San Rafael City Council, Planning Commission, and other relevant bodies. This will include working with the Project Team to prepare the Steering Committee and working with the feasibility study consultant to prepare materials, catalogue feedback and integrate comments. Subtask 5.2 Develop Policy Recommendations The Consultant will work with the Steering Committee and the Project Team to develop final policy recommendations and integrate them into City policies, programs, plans, and implementation activities. Potential documentation may include the Citywide climate adaptation plan, General Plan, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, Capital Improvement Program, or a neighborhood plan, among others. Task 5 Deliverables: Consultant to draft policy recommendations and work with Project team to draft/ adopt policy language and documents. Task 6 Effectiveness Evaluation Consultant will catalogue the project's engagement activities, delivery of technical information to stakeholders, and project outcomes to conduct an evaluation that can inform the City and County for ongoing community -driven planning. The evaluation will be a continuous part of the process to improve and inform engagement strategies as the Project unfolds. It will also be summarized at the end of the Project in the form of a report to inform further planning and implementation efforts and will document the most and least effective techniques, trainings, and engagements, changes in the strategy based on learnings, and recommendations for improvement. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations will occur to determine which engagements provided the most feedback as well as where and when feedback carried forward into meaningful adjustments to the feasibility study and outcomes. The evaluation will include internal as well as external feedback through interviews with key stakeholders. It will also provide an analysis of the capacity building function of the Project and lessons learned for ongoing capacity building in the community and with the Consultant.

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 CONSULTANT under this Agreement. 9. CONSULTANT agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Services, who is brought onto or involved in the performance of the Services by CONSULTANT, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of CONSULTANT, except as with respect to limits. CONSULTANT agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement. CONSUTLANT agrees that upon request by CITY, all agreements with, and insurance compliance documents provided by, such subcontractors and others engaged in the performance of Services will be submitted to CITY for review. 10. CONSULTANT agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the Services reserves the right to charge CITY or CONSULTANT for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Agreement. Any 08.22 B-2 such provisions are to be deleted with reference to CITY. It is not the intent of CITY to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against CITY for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto. C. Deductibles and SIR's. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions in CONSULTANT's insurance policies must be declared to and approved by the CITY 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 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 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 CONSULTANT. Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise it later.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL: APPROVED AS TO FORM: Office of the City Attorney 0G& By: GE VI E COYLE, AssistWCity Attorney ATTEST: City Clerk Ar LINDSAY LARA, City Clerk 08.22 8 CONSULTANT: By: Douglas Mundo Title: Executive Director [If CONSULTANT is a corporation, add signature of second corporate officer] By: Name: Title: EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF SERVICES The Services to be performed for CITY by CONSULTANT under this Agreement are more fully described in CONSULTANT's proposal, which is attached to this Exhibit A. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The purpose of this Project is to conduct a community -informed technical feasibility study of sea level rise adaptation options along the greater Canal District shoreline of San Rafael ("Project Study Area"). It will include robust engagement in our priority equity community census tracts ("Primary Engagement Area") to ensure that underrepresented community members have a voice and that inclusive decision-making guides the process. The City of San Rafael will work with the County of Marin and community-based organization (CBO) project partners Canal Alliance and Multicultural Center of Marin ("Project Team") to build capacity of the two community-based organizations by hiring one staff person per organization to help lead the project and develop culturally relevant community engagement methods for these census tracts, which have been identified as most vulnerable by the Bay Conservation and Development Commission's 2020 Regional Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Adaptation Study. Geographically, the Project Study Area is the entire shoreline area within the boundaries of City of San Rafael and can be loosely framed by downtown on the west, the Richmond -San Rafael Bridge to the east, and McNears Beach to the north. The Project Study Area includes both sides of the San Rafael Canal. The Project Team will conduct a technical feasibility study that considers nature -based, hybrid, and hard infrastructure sea level rise adaptation measures within the Project Study Area. These will include but not be limited to consideration of the full range of nature -based solutions such as ecotone levees and subtidal habitat restoration, green -grey riprap, and traditional engineered solutions such as sea walls and a tide gate at the mouth of the Canal. Through the technical feasibility study and collaborative community planning process, a minimum of at least one project will be identified for further development and implementation. Additionally, the Project Team will produce community -developed policy language for the City's multi -hazard climate adaptation plan (currently in development, anticipated completion in spring 2025), and potentially other plans and guiding documents such as a proposed neighborhood specific plan, housing plan or strategy, and other General Plan -related documents. The Project will prototype and model a collaborative planning process that elevates the community's role in decision-making to be used in future resilience and adaptation planning work and other critical local policy decisions. Providing funding for staff at two community-based organizations will build capacity at each to engage fully in the project and advocate on behalf of their constituents. An effectiveness evaluation will summarize the process and guide future engagement efforts for the City and County. Rev. 08.22 A-1 II. MOM'S TASKS DELIVERABLES and TIMELINES SCOPE OF WORK Task_1 Project Management The Consultant will coordinate with the City to keep them informed about the status of the Project. The Consultant will manage their budget and schedule, submitting requests for reimbursement, and other project management activities. In the progress reports, the Consultant shall document all activities, deliverables completed, progress, issues, and proposed resolutions. Subtask 1.2 Project Team Management The Consultant is part of a collaborative Project Team that includes the City, Canal Alliance, and the County of Marin. While all team members have long supported work in the community, working together on this effort will require coordination as we establish stronger networks and trust with each other and the community. The Project Team will meet regularly to coordinate on the project strategy, review documents, prepare for meetings, and initiate and respond to communications with the public and other partners. Task 1 Deliverables: progress reports, invoices, and documentation Task 2 Coxnmuni -Informed Technical Feasibilfty Stud The Consultant will support and advise the City on a community -informed technical feasibility study to evaluate nature -based, hybrid and hard infrastructure options that can increase community resilience to sea level rise and flooding in the Project Study Area. The options will reflect community priorities and technical feasibility, with at least one project option identified along with specific recommendations for further project development and implementation (i.e., considerations for landowner approval, project lead for CEQA and permitting, etc.). Task 3 Staff and Partner Training The Project Team will organize, attend, and lead trainings to promote competencies in the foundational areas of this project: sea level rise (including causes and impacts, Adaptation Pathways, and nature -based solutions), equitable community engagement, and cultural competency. Subtask 3.1 Sea Level Rise Training The Consultant will work with the Project Team to develop and attend a series of (6) trainings on the causes and implications of sea level rise, flooding, time scales, compounding effects, and the Adaptation Pathways approach to planning for sea level rise impacts. Subtask 3.2 Equitable Community Engagement Training A minimum of (3) trainings specific to inclusive and equitable community engagement will be organized and conducted by the Consultant. The Consultant has experience in this realm and will build upon their past efforts to formalize curriculum and training materials. Trainings will be attended by all staff on the Project Team as well as from other relevant stakeholders. 08.22 2 Subtask 3.3 Cultural Competency Training A minimum of (3) Cultural Competency Trainings specific to the residents of the Canal will be organized and conducted by the Consultant. The Consultant has experience in this area and will build upon prior efforts with a particular focus on the Project. Language, culture, norms, perceptions, and empathy training will be included, with a focus on the immigrant experience of people from Latin America, Vietnam, and other countries living in San Rafael. These will include information on the variety of affinity groups, resources, programs, and service providers currently engaged with residents. Trainings will be primarily focused on City and County staff and open to other government agencies and stakeholders. Task 3 Deliverables: copies of training materials; cultural competency protocols; list of staff and project partners trained Task 4 Community Engagement The Project Team will develop an engagement strategy and refine the timeline and schedule, conduct stakeholder mapping, identify key community partners, identify community resources for meeting facilitation and support, design materials, develop creative means of communication and documentation of the project, conduct workshops and trainings, develop a community Steering Committee, and develop questions and content for focus groups, surveys, and other community events and groups. This work will all be informed by the lessons from trainings in Tasks 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. The Project Team will develop culturally appropriate and understandable materials for ongoing feedback and input into the study. Subtask 4.1 Community Development Canal Alliance and Multicultural Center of Marin serve the Canal community through a range of services and expertise. They are trusted organizations in the community and understand that sea level rise threats require engaged community decision-making. The experience during the pandemic continually demonstrated how much extra time and effort it took to get key messages into the community. No one outreach source is adequate. Residents come from many different backgrounds and cultures and speak several languages. Of critical importance to issues of land use and planning is the ability to have time, access, and knowledge of complex issues. It is essential for governments and CBOs to spend adequate time meeting people where they are, understanding the needs, values, and cultural milieu of the various subpopulations in a community, and creating materials and processes that work for them. The two CBO partners in this grant application are clear that although they serve this community directly, they do not represent the community per se and that something as significant as adaptation planning will require developing community ambassadors and a capacity within the community to be part of the decision-making. To accommodate this critical need, the Consultant will hire one new part-time staff to build subject -matter expertise on sea level rise and engage with the community. The new staff members will work collaboratively with the Project Team for the feasibility study to conduct robust community engagement for the project. The Consultant will work with the Project Team to conduct stakeholder mapping to identify v 08.22 community champions, influencers, resources, affinity groups, and others that should be engaged at different levels throughout the Project. This will include the wide range of demographics represented in the area with a specific focus on the two primary equity census tracts conducted in three languages. It will include representation from the broader study area, as well as other relevant agencies and stakeholders, such as utilities and state and federal agencies. The Consultant will work with the Project Team and will refer to the stakeholder mapping and schedule interviews with key stakeholders to refine outreach strategies for the Project. Outreach strategies may include printed visuals (flyers, maps, etc.), electronic media, video content, block parties, volunteer ambassadors, school programming and classroom materials, and participation in existing community events. A particular focus will be on creative ways to engage people in multifamily housing since most of the residents in the Engagement Area are tenants and many are subletters. Presentations, participation at existing community events, and community block parties will be conducted to get input on the project at different stages and to identify the best methods of engagement as the project unfolds. Community outreach will be carried out collaboratively between the Consultant and Canal Alliance, with City and County support, while in others there will be a clear delineation based on constituencies and core competencies. For example, Canal Alliance will lead engagement in multifamily housing and schools, while the Consultant will lead the video, radio, and other digital media development. 4.1 Deliverables: stakeholder mapping; copies of outreach materials from community events (minimum 4) and large-scale engagements like block parties (minimum 2), including translated materials; documentation of creative communications (such as links to social media account postings, photos and video recordings, project website link, list of trained volunteers, or other engagement products) Subtask 4.2 Focus Groups The Consultant will conduct and support a minimum of (6) focus groups consisting of stakeholders from the underrepresented census tracts in the Engagement Area will be conducted throughout the Project. Focus Groups will elevate people's concerns and thoughts regarding community resilience and methods of engagement to help guide the sea level rise planning process. The Consultant will lead the initial three (3) focus groups identifying community values, inclinations, and educational needs on key project topics. Later focus groups on the draft feasibility study and housing security in relationship with climate adaptation will be led by Canal Alliance. Focus group participants will be carefully chosen to ensure representation from residents that might not otherwise be easily engaged as identified through the stakeholder mapping process. 4.2 Deliverables: focus group attendance rosters; report on findings covering a minimum of (6) Focus Group sessions. Subtask 4.3 Steering Committee The Consultant will take the lead and work with the other Project Team partners to organize and coordinate a community Steering Committee for the Project that includes representation from the greater Project Study Area. The Steering Committee will provide ongoing oversight for the Project. 08.22 4 They will learn about sea level rise and flood impacts and solutions, guide the project, and guide the inclusion of community feedback into the feasibility study. They will receive reports and presentations from the feasibility consultant and provide input. Training will be provided to Steering Committee members throughout the process. The Steering Committee will meet monthly during the early stages of the engagement to review consultant candidates and inform the scope of work for the feasibility study, then will meet every other month for the duration of the project. The Consultant will provide committee members stipends as needed to participate and will be expected to contribute 8-10 hours per month to the project including attending regular meetings and some community engagements as well as reviewing materials and providing comments. The funds for the stipends will be aligned with the Consultant's standard practices and these costs are included in this proposal. 4.3 Deliverables: Steering Committee membership roster; meeting agendas, attendance logs, and meeting notes. Subtask 4.4 Community Workshops Throughout the process the Consultant will work with the Project Team to conduct at least 8 larger community workshops in multiple languages to engage the community in the process of the feasibility study. The Project Team will decide on and design content to provide participants with meaningful opportunities to contribute and provide feedback. Earlier workshops will be used to help refine the focus of the project, while later workshops will be geared toward identifying recommendations and priorities for future implementation. These workshops will be done collaboratively by the full Project Team. 4.4 Deliverables: draft and final copies of workshop presentation materials Subtask 4.5 Technical Advisog Committee The Consultant will sit on the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meetings and provide support and feedback as necessary. The TAC will include experts in topics such as sea level rise adaptation planning, nature -based shoreline project implementation, and estuarine ecology. The TAC will inform the scope of work for the feasibility study, be engaged in the selection of the technical consultant team and provide review and feedback on technical analyses and interim technical deliverables at key junctures throughout the Feasibility Study process. 4.5 Deliverables: The consultant's attendance logs, and meeting notes Task 5 Local Plan Inte ration The Consultant will support the Project Team to develop and codify relevant outcomes and policy language to be included in the City's climate adaptation plan (being developed concurrently by the City of San Rafael), including but not limited to selected sea level rise scenarios and project or projects identified for further development. In addition, recommendations, priorities, and other outcomes will be assessed to identify inclusion in other City plans, strategies, and programs such as the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), Housing Element, or Safety Element of the City's General Plan. Subtask 5.1 Present to City and County_ Leadership v 08.22 Project Team will prepare and conduct presentations to the San Rafael City Council, Planning Commission, and other relevant bodies. This will include prepping the Steering Committee and working with the feasibility study consultant to prepare materials, catalogue feedback and integrate comments. Subtask 5.2 Develop Policy Recommendations The Project Team will work with the Steering Committee and consultant to develop final policy recommendations and integrate them into City policies, programs, plans, and implementation activities. Potential documentation may include the Citywide climate adaptation plan, General Plan, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, Capital Improvement Program, or a neighborhood plan, among others. Task 5 Deliverables: draft and/or adopted policy language and documents; links to presentation recordings Task 6 Effectiveness Evaluation The Consultant will catalogue the project's engagement activities, delivery of technical information to stakeholders, and project outcomes to conduct an evaluation that can inform the City and County for ongoing community -driven planning. The evaluation will be a continuous part of the process to improve and inform engagement strategies as the Project unfolds. It will also be summarized at the end of the Project in the form of a report to inform further planning and implementation efforts and will document the most and least effective techniques, trainings, and engagements, changes in the strategy based on learnings, and recommendations for improvement. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations will occur to determine which engagements provided the most feedback as well as where and when feedback carried forward into meaningful adjustments to the feasibility study and outcomes. The evaluation will include internal as well as external feedback through interviews with key stakeholders. It will also provide an analysis of the capacity building function of the Project and lessons learned for ongoing capacity building in the community and with the two CBOs.

The additional insured coverage under CONSULTANT'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 CONSULTANT'S policies shall be at least as broad as Rev. 08.22 B- I ISO form CG20 0104 13. 3. Except for professional liability insurance or workers' 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 CITY a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of CONSULTANT may acquire against CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. CONSULTANT 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 parry. 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. 9. CONSULTANT agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other parry involved with the Services, who is brought onto or involved in the performance of the Services by CONSULTANT, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of CONSULTANT, except as with respect to limits. CONSULTANT agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement. CONSUTLANT agrees that upon request by CITY, all agreements with, and insurance compliance documents provided by, such subcontractors and others engaged in the performance of Services will be submitted to CITY for review. 10. CONSULTANT agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the Services reserves the right to charge CITY or CONSULTANT for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Agreement. Any 08.22 B-2 such provisions are to be deleted with reference to CITY. It is not the intent of CITY to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against CITY for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto. C. Deductibles and SIR'S. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions in CONSULTANT's insurance policies must be declared to and approved by the CITY 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 parry. At CITY's option, the deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to CITY shall be reduced or eliminated to CITY'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 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 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 the CITY. 08.22 B-3
