Subject: APPROVAL OF A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH RIVERSIDE
COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT
AND RREF II — DC CAMERON, LLC, RELATED TO CONSTRUCTION
OF PALM SPRINGS MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN (MDP) LINE 29
ASSOCIATED WITH TRACT MAP 33575 (THE "CAMERON PROJECT')
From: David H. Ready, City Manager
Initiated by: Public Works and Engineering Department
SUMMARY
The Cameron Project, located at the northeast corner of S. Palm Canyon Drive and
Mesquite Avenue, included an obligation to design and construct a portion of Palm
Springs Master Drainage Plan (MDP) Line 29 located in Random Road. The
Cooperative Agreement between the Riverside County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District ("RCFC"), the City, and RREF 11 — DC Cameron, LLC, is a
standard agreement for construction of flood control improvements that will ultimately be
operated and maintained by RCFC.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Approve a Cooperative Agreement (Agreement No. ) between the Riverside
County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, the City of Palm Springs,
and RREF II — DC Cameron, LLC, a Delaware corporation, associated with the
construction, operation, and maintenance of flood control improvements
identified as Palm Springs Master Drainage Plan (MDP) Line 29, associated with
Tract Map 33575; and
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
On July 12, 2006, the City Council approved "The Cameron" a mixed use development
of commercial and residential uses, (Tentative Tract Map 33575, PD-314, Case
5.1056), located at the northeast corner of S. Palm Canyon Drive and Mesquite Avenue.
A vicinity map is included as Attachment 1.

RCFC Cooperative Agreement—Line 29
Included in the conditions of approval is the obligation to design and construct a portion
of Line 29 from the Palm Springs Master Drainage Plan (MDP). The developer, RREF
II — DC Cameron, LLC, a Delaware corporation, has designed the storm drain
improvement plans, which were reviewed and approved by RCFC. Ultimately Line 29
will be operated and maintained by RCFC, however, storm drain connector pipes and
catch basins will be maintained by the City.
A standard form Cooperative Agreement between RCFC, Palm Springs, and the
developer has been prepared by RCFC and outlines the obligations of each agency.
Approval of the Cooperative Agreement will allow construction of Line 29 to be
scheduled. A copy of the Cooperative Agreement is included as Attachment 2.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The "Cameron" project identified as Case No. 5.1056 — PD-314, and Tentative Tract Map
33575, was considered a 'Project' pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
("CEQA") Guidelines. Previously, the City, acting as Lead Agency pursuant to CEQA,
prepared an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration ("MND") for the "Cameron"
Project. On July 12, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 21634 adopting the
MND for Case No. 5.1056 — PD-314, and Tentative Tract Map 33575. Included as part of
the "Cameron" project was a requirement to design and construct MDP Line 29. Approval
of a Cooperative Agreement with RCFC to facilitate construction of MDP Line 29
implements the "Cameron" Project, and is therefore consistent with the MND previously
adopted by the City Council, and no further action with regard to CEQA is required to
approve the Cooperative Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the RCFC Cooperative Agreement has no fiscal impact. All costs to design
and construct MDP Line 29 are the obligation of the developer, subject to credit for
drainage implementation fees otherwise due. Future maintenance costs related to MDP
Line 29 will be the responsibility of RCFC, excluding new storm drain connector pipes
and catch basins. The City's costs for maintenance of connector pipes and catch
basins is budgeted and available in the CSA 152 Fund.

6. DISTRICT shall endeavor to issue DEVELOPER a Notice to Proceed
within twenty (20) days of receipt of DEVELOPER'S complete written notice, as set forth in
Section I.8.; however, DISTRICT'S construction inspection staff is limited and, therefore, the
issuance of a Notice to Proceed is subject to staff availability.
In the event DEVELOPER wishes to expedite issuance of a Notice to
Proceed, DEVELOPER may elect to furnish an independent qualified construction inspector at
DEVELOPER'S sole cost and expense. DEVELOPER shall furnish appropriate documentation
of the individual's credentials and experience to DISTRICT for review and, if appropriate,
approval. DISTRICT shall review the individual's qualifications and experience and, upon
approval thereof, said individual, hereinafter called "DEPUTY INSPECTOR", shall be
authorized to act on DISTRICT'S behalf on all DISTRICT DRAINAGE FACILITY
23
construction and quality control matters. If DEVELOPER'S initial construction inspection
deposit furnished pursuant to Section I.3. exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000), DISTRICT
shall refund to DEVELOPER up to eighty percent (80%) of DEVELOPER'S initial inspection
deposit within forty-five (45) days of DISTRICT'S approval of DEPUTY INSPECTOR;
however, a minimum balance often thousand dollars ($10,000) shall be retained on account.
7. PROJECT construction work shall be on a five (5) day, forty (40) hour
work week with no work on Saturdays, Sundays or DISTRICT designated legal holidays, unless
otherwise approved in writing by DISTRICT. If DEVELOPER feels it is necessary to work
more than the normal forty (40) hour work week or on holidays, DEVELOPER shall make a
written request for permission from DISTRICT to work the additional hours. The request shall
be submitted to DISTRICT at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to the requested additional
work hours and shall state the reasons for the overtime and the specific time frames required.
The decision of granting permission for overtime work shall be made by DISTRICT at its sole
discretion and shall be final. If permission is granted by DISTRICT, DEVELOPER will be
charged the cost incurred at the overtime rates for additional inspection time required in
connection with the overtime work in accordance with Ordinance Nos. 671 and 749, including
any amendments thereto, of the County of Riverside.
8. DEVELOPER for itself, its successors and assigns hereby releases
DISTRICT and County of Riverside (including their agencies, districts, special districts and
departments, their respective directors, officer, Board of Supervisors, elected and appointed
officials, employees, agents and representatives) from any and all claims, demands, actions, or
suits of any kind arising out of any liability, known or unknown, present or future, including but
not limited to any claim or liability, based or asserted, pursuant to Article I, Section 19 of the
California Constitution, the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, or any other
19 - 24
law or ordinance which seeks to impose any other liability or damage, whatsoever, for damage
caused by the discharge of drainage within or from PROJECT. Nothing contained herein shall
constitute a release by DEVELOPER of DISTRICT, its officers, agents and employees from any
and all claims, demands, actions or suits of any kind arising out of any liability, known or
unknown, present or future, for the negligent maintenance of DISTRICT DRAINAGE
FACILITY, after the acceptance of ownership, operation and maintenance of DISTRICT
DRAINAGE FACILITY by DISTRICT.
9. DEVELOPER shall indemnify and hold harmless DISTRICT, County of
Riverside, and CITY (including their respective agencies, districts, special districts and
departments, their respective directors, officers, Board of Supervisors, elected and appointed
officials, employees, agents and representatives) from any liability, claim, damage, proceeding
or action, present or future, based upon, arising out of or in any way relating to DEVELOPER'S
(including its officers, employees, subcontractors and agents) actual or alleged acts or omissions
related to this Agreement, performance under this Agreement, or failure to comply with the
requirements of this Agreement, including but not limited to: (a) property damage; (b) bodily
injury or death; (c) liability or damage pursuant to Article 1, Section 19 of the California
Constitution, the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution or any other law, ordinance
or regulation caused by the diversion of waters from the natural drainage patterns or the
discharge of drainage within or from PROJECT; or, (d) any other element of any kind or nature
whatsoever.
DEVELOPER shall defend, at its sole expense, including all costs and fees
(including but not limited to attorney fees, cost of investigation, defense and settlements or
awards), DISTRICT, County of Riverside, and CITY (including their respective agencies,
districts, special districts and departments, their respective directors, officers, Board of
- 20 - 25
Supervisors, elected and appointed officials, employees, agents and representatives) in any
claim, proceeding or action for which indemnification is required.
With respect to any of DEVELOPER'S indemnification requirements,
DEVELOPER shall, at its sole cost, have the right to use counsel of their own choice and shall
have the right to adjust, settle, or compromise any such claim, proceeding or action without the
prior consent of DISTRICT, County of Riverside and CITY; provided, however, that any such
adjustment, settlement or compromise in no manner whatsoever limits or circumscribes
DEVELOPER'S indemnification obligations to DISTRICT, County of Riverside, or CITY.
DEVELOPER'S indemnification obligations shall be satisfied when
DEVELOPER has provided to DISTRICT, County of Riverside, and CITY the appropriate form
of dismissal (or similar document) relieving DISTRICT, County of Riverside, or CITY from
any liability for the claim, proceeding or action involved.
The specified insurance limits required in this Agreement shall in no way
limit or circumscribe DEVELOPER'S obligations to indemnify and hold harmless DISTRICT,
County of Riverside and CITY from third party claims.
In the event there is conflict between this section and California Civil Code
Section 2782, this section shall be interpreted to comply with California Civil Code Section
2782. Such interpretation shall not relieve the DEVELOPER from indemnifying DISTRICT,
County of Riverside or CITY to the fullest extent allowed by law.
10. Any waiver by DISTRICT or by CITY of any breach of anyone or more of
the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent or other
breach of the same or of any other term hereof. Failure on the part of DISTRICT or CITY to
require exact, full and complete compliance with any terms of this Agreement shall not be
zs
_ 21 _
construed as in any manner changing the terms hereof, or estopping DISTRICT or CITY from
enforcement hereof.
11. Any and all notices sent or required to be sent to the parties of this
Agreement will be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the following addresses:
