(c) The making and acceptance of the final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the City, other than those arising from any of the following: (1) unsettled liens; (2) faulty work appearing within 12 months after final payment; (3) requirements of the specifications; or (4) manufacturers' guarantees. It shall also constitute a waiver of all claims by the Contractor, except those previously made and still unsettled. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims. 9. Insurance. (a). Scope of Coverage. During the term of this Agreement, Contractor shall maintain, at no expense to City, the following insurance policies: 1. A commercial general liability insurance policy in the minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence/two million dollars ($2,000,000) aggregate, for death, bodily injury, personal injury, or property damage. 2. An automobile liability (owned, non -owned, and hired vehicles) insurance policy in the minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) dollars per occurrence. 3. If it employs any person, Contractor shall maintain worker's compensation insurance, as required by the State of California, with statutory limits, and employer's liability insurance with limits of no less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per accident for bodily injury or disease.. Contractor's worker's compensation insurance shall be specifically endorsed to waive any right of subrogation against City. (b) Other Insurance Requirements. The insurance coverage required of the Contractor in subparagraph (a) of this section above shall also meet the following requirements: Page 2 of 6 I . The insurance policies shall be specifically endorsed to include the City, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers, as additional insureds 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 insurance or self- insurance coverage for any contribution. The "primary and noncontributory" coverage in Contractor's policies shall be at least as broad as ISO form CG20 0104 13. 3. The insurance policies shall include, in their text or by endorsement, coverage for contractual liability and personal injury. 4. By execution of this Contract, 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. (c) Deductibles and SIR'S. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions in Contractor'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 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 City 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 City. 10. Indemnification. (a) 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 Page 3 of 6 obligations apply regardless of whether or not a liability is caused or contributed to by the active or passive negligence of the City Indemnitees. However, to the extent that liability is caused by the active negligence or willful misconduct of the City Indemnitees, the Contractor's indemnification obligation shall be reduced in proportion to the City Indemnitees' share of liability for the active negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, the acceptance or approval of the Contractor's work or work product by the City or any of its directors, officers or employees shall not relieve or reduce the Contractor's indemnification obligations. In the event the City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from Contractor's performance of or operations under this Agreement, Contractor shall provide a defense to the City Indemnitees or at City's option reimburse the City Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in defense of such claims. (b) The defense and indemnification obligations of this Agreement are undertaken in addition to, and shall not in any way be limited by, the insurance obligations contained in this Agreement, and shall survive the termination or completion of this Agreement for the full period of time allowed by law.

February 4, 2018 City of San Rafael Department of Public Works 111 Morphew St. San Rafael, CA 94915 Attn: Rafat Raie Job Name: Downtown Communication Upgrades Job Location: Various Downtown Intersections Dear Rafat: Due to ongoing traffic congestion and citizen complaints regarding the coordination of intersections along 2nd and 3`d streets in the downtown core we are proposing an upgrade to the existing communication and controller infrastructure. Currently the intersections on 2nd and 3`d St. West of Lindaro are connected to Aries, an outdated and no longer supported traffic signal management system, while the intersections East of Lindaro are connected to Centracs, a modern and supported central management system. This disparity prevents the signals adjacent to each other from keeping their clocks in sync which in turn prevents the smooth flow of traffic through the downtown core. The goal of this proposal is to update the communication and controller infrastructure to allow all of the intersections to communicate with Centracs and provide reliable coordination for one the major thoroughfares between West Marin and Highway 101. In conjunction with this work we will also be upgrading the Andersen Dr corridor from Lindaro to Bellam so that It can also communicate with Centracs. The intersections along 41h St, 51h St and the Miracle Mile West of Lincoln will be transitioned off of Aries and instead be connected to a reliable GPS clock to improve synchronization until future infrastructure upgrades can be made to connect those intersections to Centracs as well.
