temporary parking area to the north of the street.

LC Paving and Sealing, Inc. is the low bidder, with a bid approximately two -percent less than
the project cost estimate of $575,000. The project was bid with an additive bid item, but the
bids are evaluated based upon the base bid alone. The apparent low bid has been vetted
and found to be in full compliance with all bid requirements. The municipal code requires that
the bid be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. The references were contacted and
have confirmed that LC Paving and Sealing, Inc. have successfully completed projects of
similar scope recently.
Per an agreement (Contract No. C31910) the City has with the Coachella Valley Water District
(CVWD), all paving projects include an additive alternate bid item to raise the valves and
manholes to the new grade on behalf of CVWD. CVWD has the option of accepting the price
from the City's contractor and reimbursing the City for the work or using their own forces to
perform the work. CVWD has accepted the price of Bid Alternate #1 provided by the
contractor for the subject alternate bid item, which is $13,196.88. Therefore, the total contract
price is $575,115.90, which includes raising the valves and manholes to grade. The City will
be reimbursed by CVWD for work done on their behalf upon completion of the project.
Fiscal Analysis
This project is included in the City's Capital Improvement Project List for Fiscal Year 2021/22.
There is no additional fiscal impact beyond the cost of the contract.

ARTICLE 4. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
Contractor acknowledges that the City will sustain actual damages for each and every Day

Section does not exclude recovery of other damages specified in the Contract Documents.

insureds under the Products and Completed Operations coverage.

payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Contract.

of Best's Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the City's Risk
Manager.
7. Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant
to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, its
elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers, or shall
specifically allow Contractor or others providing insurance evidence in compliance
with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Contractor
hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, its elected or appointed
officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers and shall require similar
written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors.

agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor
Alessandro West Improvements — Phase II
72500.00001 \32656428.1
-6-
CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION
of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the
City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
9. Requirements Not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits
contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or
other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any
insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of
clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or
insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any
type. If the Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above,
the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained
by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified
minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
10. Notice of Cancellation. Contractor agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker
and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) Day notice of cancellation (except
for nonpayment for which a ten (10) Day notice is required) or nonrenewal of
coverage for each required coverage.
11. Additional Insured Status. General liability, automobile liability, and if applicable,
pollution liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the City and
its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional
insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any
excess/umbrella liability policies. Coverage shall be at least as broad as coverage
provided by ISO's Owners, Lessees, or Contractors Additional Insured
Endorsement for the ongoing (i.e. ISO Form CG 20 10 07 04) and completed
operations (i.e. ISO Form CG 20 37 07 04) of Contractor.
12. Prohibition of Undisclosed Coverage Limitations. None of the coverages required
herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting
endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of
in writing.
13. Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all
additional insureds ensuring that Contractor's insurance shall apply separately to
each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect
to the insurer's limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross -liability
exclusions.
14. Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its sub -consultants, sub-
contractors, and any other party involved with the Project who is brought onto or
involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance
coverage and endorsements required of Contractor. Contractor 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 section. Contractor
agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and
others engaged in the Project will be submitted to City for review.
15. Citv's Right to Revise Requirements. The City or its Risk Manager reserves the
right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types
of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) Days advance written

notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the
Contractor, the City and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor's compensation.
