A. General

The consultant awarded the contract (“Consultant”) will provide the City with engineering design services for the Project. Within 30 calendar days of the City’s notice of award of the Project, the Consultant shall enter into a Consulting Services Agreement in substantially the same form as the City’s standard Consulting Service Agreement (“Agreement”), which is attached to this RFP as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by this reference.

As a result of responses to this RFP, the City plans to review submissions and select the firm it determines can best meet the requirements outlined below. Negotiations will be held on both the scope and the cost to select the firm that CITY believes can best satisfy its requirements at rates it perceives are reasonable for the services provided. Subject to “Right to Reject Proposal” below, it is anticipated that a contract will be awarded for the work described.

RIGHT TO REJECT PROPOSAL: The City of Escondido reserves the right to reject any or all professional services submitted; or, to award the contract to any qualified and experienced consultant, who submits the most reasonable and cost-effective professional and data vendor services; and who can demonstrate knowledge of, and a readiness and commitment to meet the city's requirements in the most expedient way. All costs incurred in the preparation of the proposal, in the submission of additional information, and/or in any other aspect of a proposal prior to the award of a written contract will be borne by the respondent.

(2) Additional Insured Status. Both the Commercial General Liability and the Automobile Liability policies must name the CITY (including its officials, officers, agents, employees, and volunteers) specifically as an additional insured under the policy on a separate endorsement page. The Commercial General Liability additional insured endorsement shall be at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85, or if not available, through the addition of both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38, and CG 20 37 if a later edition is used.

(6) Waiver of Subrogation. CONSULTANT hereby grants to the CITY a waiver of any right to subrogation that any insurer of CONSULTANT may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. CONSULTANT agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this subsection shall apply regardless of whether or not the CITY has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer. Any Workers’ Compensation policy required by this Agreement shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the CITY for all work performed by the CONSULTANT, its agents, representatives, employees, and subcontractors.

(7) Self-Insurance. CONSULTANT may, with the CITY’s prior written consent, fulfill some or all of the insurance requirements contained in this Agreement under a plan of self-insurance. CONSULTANT shall only be permitted to utilize such self-insurance if, in the opinion of the CITY, CONSULTANT’s (i) net worth and (ii) reserves for payment of claims of liability against CONSULTANT are sufficient to adequately compensate for the lack of other insurance coverage required by this Agreement. CONSULTANT’s utilization of self-insurance shall not in any way limit the liabilities assumed by CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement.

(8) Self-Insured Retentions. Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the CITY.

c. Verification of Coverage. At the time CONSULTANT executes this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall provide the CITY with original Certificates of Insurance including all required amendatory endorsements (or copies of the applicable policy language effecting the insurance coverage required by this Agreement), which shall meet all requirements under this Agreement. The CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by this Agreement, at any time.

d. Special Risks or Circumstances. The CITY reserves the right, at any point during the term of this Agreement, to modify the insurance requirements in this Agreement, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

e. No Limitation of Obligations. The insurance requirements in this Agreement, including the types and limits of insurance coverage CONSULTANT must maintain, and any approval of such insurance by the CITY, are not intended to and shall not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to any provisions in this Agreement concerning indemnification.

f. Failure to comply with any of the insurance requirements in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, a lapse in any required insurance coverage during the term of this Agreement, shall be a material breach of this Agreement. In the event that CONSULTANT fails to comply with any such insurance requirements in this Agreement, in addition to any other remedies the CITY may have, the CITY may, at its sole option, (i) immediately terminate this Agreement; or (ii) order CONSULTANT to stop work under this Agreement and/or withhold any payment that becomes due to CONSULTANT until CONSULTANT demonstrates compliance with the insurance requirements in this Agreement.
