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.
PROJECT SCOPE AND DELIVERABLES:
Part A: Community -Informed Technical Feasibility Study
For this part, the Consultant's primary responsibility is to complete a community -informed technical
feasibility study to evaluate adaptation options that can increase community resilience to relative sea
level rise and flooding in the Project Study Area (Figure 1). The options will reflect community priorities,
ecological considerations, 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.).

The following tasks support development of the community -informed feasibility study.
Task A.1: Summarize and confirm vulnerability information for the project study area with a "Briefing
Book"
Rev. 08.22
This task is intended to build upon prior work completed such as the BayWAVE Vulnerability Analysis, San
Rafael Sea -Level Rise Adaptation Study (ESA 2020), and other regional studies. This task will review,
synthesize, and present the vulnerability information in a more engaging and visual way than previous
efforts. The consultant should strive to present this information in a non -technical way that is accessible
to residents with different language and education backgrounds. From a technical perspective, this task
will require new mapping and may require very basic modeling but should focus on synthesis. This task
should include at a minimum an analysis of the implications of relative sea level rise that are consistent
with these sea level rise scenarios used in the 2017 BayWAVE Vulnerability Assessment and the most
recent state and federal guidance.
08.22
Working with the project team, the consultant may recommend adjusting these scenarios in order to
capture current, near -term, mid-term, and long-term impacts to the Project Study Area.
Because previous vulnerability assessments used inundation mapping that relied upon outdated
elevation data, this task will require updating the expected flood extents and depths using the most
recent 2019 Marin Countywide LiDAR, which will be provided to the consultant. This task will also
require revisions to the digital elevation model and additional GIS work to better capture the Study
Area's hydrologic connectivity to the Bay and to better reflect the Study Area's inundation paths, both
along the shoreline and from interior drainage. The City will provide elevation data to support this work.
Initial maps and vulnerability information may need to be revised later in the project to reflect the field
data collected by the consultant in task B1.
Confirmation of vulnerable assets should include at a minimum the number of impacted housing units,
number of people, and businesses affected as well as vulnerability of existing habitats and ecological
functions. This task should include a consideration of stormwater drainage, existing flooding, and future
sea level rise, in dialogue with City of San Rafael Department of Public Works.
The goal of this task is to create publicly accessible maps, visuals, or summaries of this vulnerability
information for the community to review. Creative communication formats including video or
interactive approaches are also welcome. This task is intended to be public -facing and to create the
visual framework for the remainder of the project.
Task A.1 Deliverables:
Public Facing: A visually engaging and accessible "briefing book" that summarizes the
vulnerability to relative sea level rise. This needs to include at a minimum:
o An inventory of vulnerable assets
o Vulnerability maps by asset type and sea level rise scenario
o An executive summary in English and Spanish
Corrected GIS maps of expected flood impacts for different sea level rise scenarios based on
corrected elevation data and improved assumptions about hydrologic connectivity to SF Bay in
the Project Study Area.
Subtask A.2a Identify, analyze & present feasible adaptation approaches at different planning
horizons
The Consultant will identify and analyze a range of possible adaptation approaches to address flood
vulnerabilities in the Project Study Area. These adaptation measures should include the full breadth of
possibilities (typically described as nature -based, hybrid, and hard infrastructure); however, the framing
of potential adaptation measures does not need to be constrained to these three categories and could
take on a number of different forms, scenarios, or presentations. All analysis of adaptation approaches
should be compared to a no action scenario.
During this phase the consultant team will work with the project team to identify the planning horizons
and flood impacts that are of greatest concern to the community and tailor adaptation approaches to
those concerns.
The analysis of adaptation measures should be framed in the context of a baseline scenario (a no action
scenario). Analysis of adaptation approaches should include consideration of:
• level of fluvial and tidal flood protection
Rev. 08 22
• effectiveness at different planning horizons
spatial and ecological requirements
• permitting requirements (to demonstrate feasibility)
• land ownership and access considerations (to demonstrate feasibility)
• potential threats and benefits to community posed by each adaptation measure including
flooding risks, catastrophic risks associated with infrastructure failure, and displacement non-
structural threats like gentrification, economic losses, loss of open space or shoreline access,
and other negative economic impacts
• co -benefits such as public access, ecology, neighborhood beautification, transit network
resilience, etc. (and others to be identified by the community, project team, and consultant)
• implications for the preservation of affordable housing, community cohesion, displacement, and
community resilience
• implications for the resilience —or impairment —of ecological functions and ecosystem services
(which may include habitat provision, habitat resilience to sea level rise, water quality
improvement, sediment management, carbon sequestration, or other functions)
• economic feasibility (which may include order of magnitude level life -cycle cost estimates for
different adaptation approaches, losses avoided, fiscal impact analysis, economic modeling or
other methods or metrics to be determined in dialog with the project team)
Subtask A.2b Present feasible adaptation approaches to elicit feedback from the community
The consultant will work with the project team to develop culturally relevant and non -technical visual
materials that engage the community and clearly convey the implications of the feasible, cohesive
adaptation approaches. The materials will show how each measure relates to relative sea level rise and
compound flooding levels, so the community understands "what works when and where".
Communication materials need to convey the broad benefits, limitations, and tradeoffs of these
different options, including considerations listed above. "Adaptation pathways" or other tools should be
used to analyze these approaches and show how adaptation can be phased, achieved incrementally, or
when critical points require a change in plan. Quantitative analysis based on physical thresholds like
water levels or other metric like economic or environmental damages should be used to demonstrate
the implications and trade-offs associated with different measures and to illustrate future risks. Creative
communication formats to accompany this analysis including video and interactive approaches are
strongly desired.
A number of engagement methods may be appropriate including workshops, charrettes, digital
engagement or open houses. The consultant will participate in designing an accessible and engaging
process and documenting public feedback and integrating that feedback into subsequent iterations. This
will require personnel fluent in Spanish.
Task A.2 Deliverables:
• Public facing: Visual -appealing summaries including graphic renderings of a range of adaptation
approaches accompanied by plain -language descriptions in English, Spanish, and ADA accessible
formats.
• Public facing: Draft and revised presentation of the implications of different adaptation options
including the co -benefits and tradeoffs.
• Public facing: A short visual summary of public feedback and preferences during this phase
• A short technical memo documenting the methods and assumptions used in the analysis
Subtask A.3a: Refine and analyze adaptation approaches based on community input
Winnowing the range of adaptation measures to a narrower set for more detailed analysis will depend
on community priorities, planning horizons and flood impacts that are of greatest concern to the
community, technical analyses, feedback from the Steering and Technical Advisory Committees,
regulatory feasibility, ecological considerations, alignment with City plans and priorities, and
effectiveness at reducing risks from relative sea level rise.
During this phase of the project, the broader set of feasible adaptation measures will be refined and
developed into more detailed analyses based on the community's expressed priorities and community
discussions with consultants and the Project Team about (1) the feasibility and (2) implications and
ecological, physical, economic, and safety tradeoffs across different measures. The consultant will host
and facilitate community workshops (or other engagement activities) to elicit feedback and refine the
potential measures that address sea level rise overtime and spatially in the impacted areas. Place -based
renderings and other visuals will be developed by the consultant to support informed discussion about
the measures.
The consultant will prepare a vivid summary that captures the priorities, reactions, and preferences
expressed by community members. Creative and accessible formats for this are encouraged. At a
minimum this summary should also describe major points of consensus, priorities, and any preferences
that may eliminate other future choices. Documentation of community decisions will remain important
beyond this grant -funded process.
Subtask A.3b: Summarize technical feasibility study
A draft and final study will summarize the benefits, limitations, and tradeoffs presented by the
adaptation approaches (or pathways) based on the list considerations analyzed (i.e., physical flood
protection, economic, public access, ecological benefits etc.). Synthesis of complex information and
visually engaging materials are expected. Creative and engaging formats are very welcome.
This study summary should focus on clearly and objectively describing the feasibility and implications of
these adaptation approaches in San Rafael including the ecological performance, regulatory feasibility,
and potential timelines required for implementation and the longevity of protection provided.
This task will include documenting the assumptions, gaps, and constraints with the feasibility of
adaptation measures supported by the community.
Subtask A.3b: Conceptual design of one adaptation measure
The consultant team will research, prepare, and scope at least one spatially specific measure identified
through community input for further design. The team will assemble technical and other background
documents to assist the city with preparation of a scope of work for undertaking 30% design in a future
project phase.
Subtask A.3 Deliverables:
• Public facing: Summary documentation of community input and priorities, including a brief summary
in Spanish
• Public facing: Draft Community -Informed Technical Feasibility Study, including an executive summary
in Spanish
• Final Community -Informed Technical Feasibility Study, including an executive summary in Spanish
• A minimum of one sea level rise adaptation measure completed to conceptual design level
Part B:
Task 131.1: Improve physical science data that underpins the understanding of climate hazards
Address critical physical data gaps, including a lack of measurement of current groundwater and surface
water levels and how those are responding to rising sea levels and differential settlement. This data is
necessary to project how much time remains to deploy adaptation measures and to clarify the potential
extent, depth, and severity of compound flooding under future climate conditions. For example, if
groundwater is too shallow or too strongly tidally influenced, conventional adaptation measures such as
levees may not work. Similarly, understanding the projected rate of subsidence (which has been as fast
as 6 inches/decade in some areas) is critical to understanding relative sea level rise, the timing of climate
impacts and the vulnerability of existing levees. Another large source of uncertainty are the shoreline
elevations along the canal, which are obscured by buildings and other built infrastructure. Determining
the condition, elevation, and the geometry of the existing shoreline is necessary to accurately model
flood risks. Basic modeling of compound flooding will also help determine the potential severity of
flooding in the short term. Information about the stormwater system will be provided by the City.
Geotechnical assessments are also needed to determine the technical feasibility of certain adaptation
measures, such as a levee district, that have been proposed previously. This task will require field work
and knowledge of local hydrogeology. This task will also require providing guidance on how on -going
changes related to sea level rise intersect with existing resilience challenges. The exact surveying,
monitoring, and modeling completed under this task can be determined through discussions with the
Project Team and the professional recommendations of the consultant.
The scale of analysis will be the operational landscape unit that includes the Canal; however, the priority
area for more detailed analysis is the most vulnerable and densely -populated area south of the canal.
This task is intended to be more detailed, more technical, and more focused on engagement with public
agencies. Materials produced do not need to be public facing.
Task 131.1: Deliverables:
• Deployment of additional monitoring equipment (such as surface or groundwater monitoring
equipment)
• Completion of necessary elevation surveys and/or geotechnical work
• Report summarizing the findings from the surveys and geotechnical work.
• Updated mapping of projected flooding hazards; summary of findings and recommendations
for future monitoring
Task B2.1: Detailed vulnerability assessment of critical community facilities
For this task the consultant will gather essential information on the exposure, sensitivity, and
consequence of a flooding -induced failure of critical facilities and infrastructure. This would focus on
assets with the most significant risks to life and safety, such as levees, evacuation routes, water
infrastructure, the community center, health facilities, emergency response facilities, underground
infrastructure, and others. This work includes updating GIS data, modeling and mapping, interviews with
asset owners/managers, and on -the -ground site assessments to identify critical thresholds and the
potential consequences of cascading infrastructure failures. As one example, the wastewater lift station
that conveys the majority of wastewater for east San Rafael is located right on the bank of the canal.
Based on its ground elevation, flood waters would be expected to be several feet. However, there are
substantial knowledge gaps, including the critical threshold elevations, consequences of failure, and
adaptive capacity. This analytical phase would address these gaps and would explore the implications of
compounding hazards (i.e., sea level rise, increasing groundwater levels, subsidence, and more intense
rain events, which increase the potential for saltwater intrusion, corrosion, liquefaction, and other
impacts to infrastructure). This phase will focus on working across government levels to identify the
most critical near -term climate risks. This task is intended to be more focused on engagement with
professional asset managers and public agencies and materials do not need to be publicly facing.
Task B2.1: Deliverables:
• Report summarizing the findings
Task B2.2: Integrating community concerns into the vulnerability assessment of critical community
facilities
For this task, the project team will lead community asset mapping with Canal residents. These
structured conversations led by the project team will help ensure that residents' main concerns are
brought out early in the process to inform the analysis from the beginning. While there will be a
discussion of climate risks there will also be a focus on the positive social and community assets that are
most important to quality of life and ensuring residents feel safe, well, and connected to their
community. The consultant will be responsible for reviewing the outputs of this community work and
weaving the communities priorities into the vulnerability analysis and final prioritization of actions.
Task B3: Prioritizing adaptation actions in concert with the community engagement
Building directly on the community's expressed priorities and the findings from the vulnerability
analysis, this task would rank and prioritize adaptation measures where they are most needed to ensure
that infrastructure (including community infrastructure) can continue to provide essential services.
Measures would be evaluated based on criteria developed collaboratively but would likely include their
criticality, vulnerability, public health and safety implications, costs, and co -benefits identified. The
consultant would be responsible for integrating community input shared during the community
engagements.
Task 133: Deliverables
• Public facing: Report on the findings
Task B4.1: Final community engagement
All project partners, including the consultant, will be involved in hosting the final community
engagements, which will focus on sharing the results and seeking the community's input on the most
important adaptation actions that should be prioritized.
Task B4.1 Deliverables
•Public facing: A short summary in English and Spanish showing or describing how the final
recommendations were changed to better reflect community priorities
Task B4.2 Final Recommendations
All prior project activities will feed directly into the development of the final recommendations, which
will present a prioritized set of actionable adaptation actions. This will also include policy
recommendations that would best address the Canal community's adaptation and resiliency priorities
that are identified through this planning process. This final deliverable should speak directly to how risks
that are being amplified by climate change relate to other on -going resilience stresses in the area and
relate to other on -going planning initiatives such as the Priority Development Area plan for this same
geography.

CONSULTANT is a professional not required to have a professional license, CITY reserves the right to require
CONSULTANT to provide professional liability insurance pursuant to this section.
4. Workers' compensation. If it employs any person, CONSULTANT shall maintain
workers' 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 workers' compensation insurance shall be specifically endorsed
to waive any right of subrogation against CITY.
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 workers' 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 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 ISO form CG20 010413.
3. Except for professional liability insurance or workers' compensation insurance, the
insurance policies shall include, in theirtext 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 broaderthan 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 shall have subcontractors provide proof of coverage that is in conformity with the
requirements of this Agreement. CONSULTANT 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 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
reasonable satisfaction.
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 copy of
any insurance policy and endorsements from CONSULTANT with confidential information removed. 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.
