FOR THE AGUA CALIENTE CULTURAL MUSEUM ROAD AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, FEDERAL PROJECT PLHDL06-5282 (032) & HPLUL-5282 (033), CITY PROJECT 09-04 From: David H. Ready, City Manager Initiated by: Public Works and Engineering Department SUMMARY The Public Works and Engineering Department is coordinating the use of two federal grants obtained by the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum for construction of improvements related to the future Tribal cultural museum which will be located at the southeast corner of Tahquitz Canyon Way and Hermosa Drive. The City solicited proposals from consultants for environmental and civil engineering design services for this project. After a competitive consultant selection process, the City selected DMC Design Group, Inc., and negotiated the proposed professional services agreement. RECOMMENDATION: 1) Approve Agreement No. with DMC Design Group, Inc., in the amount of $109,001.00 for environmental and civil engineering design services related to the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum Road and Drainage Improvements, Federal Project PLHDL06-5282 (032) & HPLUL-5282 (033), City Project 09-04; and 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. STAFF ANALYSIS: On February 9, 2009, Michael Hammond, Executive Director of the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum ("ACCM"), submitted a letter to the City Manager requesting that the City help facilitate the ALCM's obligation and use of two federal grants related to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians future cultural museum. The ACCM was successful in lobbying Congress for two separate federal grants that total approximately $1 Million to be used for design related work, including planning and engineering of roadway and interpretive signage, road and signage improvements, drainage, vehicular ITEM NO. Z " � City Council Staff Report December 15, 2010 - Page 2 Agua Caliente Cultural Museum Improvements(CP 09-04) parking areas, and appurtenant structures and facilities. The Tribe's cultural museum will be located at the southeast corner of Tahquitz Canyon Way and Hermosa Drive. Federal grants are distributed to each state via the state's Department of Transportation; in California the funds are distributed to Caltrans. Each recipient of a federal grant must have an agreement with Caltrans related to the use of federal funds. Typical recipients of federal grants are local governments, cities, counties, and metropolitan planning organizations (i.e. RCTC, CVAG, etc.). In attempting to obtain the federal funds allocated to the ACCM, the ACCM was prevented from directly seeking those funds as the ACCM is not a typical agency with which Caltrans directly interacts. Caltrans directed the ACCM to seek the assistance of a public agency that has experience coordinating the use of federal funds, to obligate the federal funds on its behalf. Therefore, pursuant to the ACCM's request, on April 15, 2009, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the ACCM related to the City's assistance and administration of the ACCM's federal funds on its behalf. Subsequently, the Public Works and Engineering Department coordinated with Caltrans and successfully obligated the federal funds for the two federal earmarks awarded to the ACCM. In consultation with the ACCM on the most efficient use of the federal funds to benefit the future museum site, its Board of Directors authorized the use of the federal funds for the following scope of work: • Hermosa Drive Street Improvements (east half, Tahquitz Canyon Way to Arenas Road; full width, Arenas Road to Baristo Road) • Palm Springs Storm Drain Line 9 Improvements (Baristo Channel to Arenas Road) • On-Site Parking Lot and Drainage Improvements and extension of on-site storm drainage improvements for use by the future museum This project requires the services of a professional firm to perform the required environmental analysis and prepare the environmental documents, and to prepare the plans and specifications for construction of the improvements. Staff prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit environmental and civil engineering design services for this project. On September 9, 2010, the RFP was published and made available to firms through the City's Division of Procurement and Contracting, and by the October 21, 2010, deadline, proposals from the following 6 firms were received: David Evans and Associates, Inc.; Ontario, CA DMC Design Group, Inc.; Corona, CA PacRim Engineering; Anaheim, CA RBF Consulting; Palm Desert, CA Secutrac Engineering; Temecula, CA TKE Engineering, Inc.; Riverside, CA r, G City Council Staff Report December 15, 2010 - Page 3 Agua Caliente Cultural Museum Improvements (CP 09-04) Following review of the proposals by a Selection Committee, a clear consensus of DMC Design Group, Inc., as the top ranked firm was made. The Selection Committee, in accordance with federal rules regarding the consultant selection process, determined that final interviews were not necessary based on its clear determination of a top ranked firm. The selection was based on DMC Design Group's thorough understanding of the project area, federal processes related to environmental clearances, and their recent experience coordinating federally funded projects through Caltrans District 8. Local Business Preference Compliance Section 7.09.030 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code, "Local Business Preference Program," requires consultants to use good faith efforts to solicit applications for employment and proposals for sub-consultants for work associated with the proposed contract from local residents and firms as opportunities occur and hire qualified local residents and firms whenever feasible. However, in accordance with the exceptions in the Code, as the City is a sub-recipient of federal-aid funds for this project from the Federal Highway Administration ( FHWA ) via Caltrans, local preferences are generally not allowed in the awarding of this contract. Therefore, the provisions of the City's Local Business Preference Program were not included in the RFP.' However, nondiscrimination provisions apply to all programs and activities of federal-aid recipients, sub-recipients, and contractors, regardless of tier (49 CFR 21). Pursuant to Caltrans regulations, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) requirements must be satisfied with this project. A DBE goal of 1.25% was established for this contract, and the selected consultant has included work with 1 DBE firm, representing 4.1% of the contract amount. FISCAL IMPACT: The City has successfully obligated the ACCM's two federal grants for use on this project on their behalf. The cost of this contract will be split equally between the two federal grants, with one grant reimbursing 100% of eligible costs and the second grant reimbursing 80% of eligible costs. The required 20% local match of the second grant will be paid from local drainage funds given the scope of work includes design and construction of Storm Drain Line 9 from the City's Master Drainage Plan. 1 The primary basis behind the prohibition of local hiring preferences is that they are inconsistent with the principles of free and open competition, which is required in the federal-aid program pursuant to federal law found at 23 USC 112, "Letting of Contracts". Also, 23 CFR 635.117 (b) states: No procedures or requirement shall be imposed by any State which will operate to discriminate against the employment of labor from any other State, possession or territory of the United States, in the construction of a Federal- aid project. This provision is generally applied to any City contracts funded in part by federal-aid funds the City receives as a sub-recipient from FHWA via Caltrans.

In the event of termination of the policy during this period, Consultant shall obtain continuing insurance coverage for the prior acts or omissions of Consultant during the course of performing Services under the terms of this Agreement.

(3) In the event the policy of insurance is written on an "occurrence" basis, the policy shall be continued in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, or until completion of the Services provided for in this Agreement, whichever is later.

The following provisions shall apply to the insurance policies required of Consultant under this Agreement: 5.3.1 For any claims related to this Agreement, Consultant's coverage shall be primary insurance with respect to the City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be in excess of Consultant's insurance and shall not contribute with it. 5.3.2 Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies, including breaches of warranties, shall not affect coverage provided to City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. 5.3.3 All insurance coverage and limits provided by Consultant and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to each insured, including additional insureds, against whom a claim is made or suit is brought to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations shall limit the application of such insurance coverage. 5.3.4 No required insurance coverages may include any limiting endorsement which substantially impairs the coverages set forth in this Agreement (e.g., elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period), unless the endorsement has first been submitted to the City Manager and approved in writing. 5.3.5 Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify insurance endorsements to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the endorsements. Certificates of insurance will not be accepted in lieu of required endorsements, and submittal of certificates without required endorsements may Page 9 of 19 727272.1 delay commencement of the Project. It is Consultant's obligation to ensure timely compliance with all insurance submittal requirements as provided in this Agreement. 5.3.6 Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other parties involved with the Project who are brought onto or involved in the Project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant. Consultant 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. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to the City for review. 5.3.7 Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights in this or any other regard. 5.3.8 Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required in this Agreement expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. Endorsements as required in this Agreement applicable to the renewing or new coverage shall be provided to City no later than ten (10) days prior to expiration of the lapsing coverage. 5.3.9 Requirements of specific insurance coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits, or other requirements, or as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. 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 limiting or all-inclusive. 5.3.10 The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impair the provisions of this section. 5.3.11 Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the Work performed under this Agreement and for any other claim or loss which may reduce the insurance available to pay claims arising out of this Agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City, or to reduce or dilute insurance available for payment of potential claims. 5.3.12 Consultant agrees that the provisions of this section shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Consultant may be held responsible Page 10 of 19 727272.1 i for the payment of damages resulting from the Consultant's activities or the activities of any person or person for which the Consultant is otherwise responsible. 5.4 Sufficiency of Insurers. Insurance required in this Agreement shall be provided by authorized insurers in good standing with the State of California. Coverage shall be provided by insurers admitted in the State of California with an A.M. Best's Key Rating of B++, Class VI I, or better, unless such requirements are waived in writing by the City Manager or his designee due to unique circumstances. 5.5 Verification of Coverage. Consultant shall furnish City with both certificates of insurance and endorsements, including additional insured endorsements, affecting all of the coverages required by this Agreement. The certificates and endorsements are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. All proof of insurance is to be received and approved by the City before work commences. City reserves the right to require Consultant's insurers to provide complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time. Additional insured endorsements are not required for Errors and Omissions and Workers' Compensation policies. Verification of Insurance coverage may be provided by: (1) an approved General and/or Auto Liability Endorsement Form for the City of Palm Springs or (2) an acceptable Certificate of Liability Insurance Coverage with an approved Additional Insured Endorsement with the following endorsements stated on the certificate: 1. "The City of Palm Springs, its officials, employees, and agents are named as an additional insured..." ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No. " or "for any and all work performed with the City"may be included in this statement). 2. "This insurance is primary and non-contributory over any insurance or self- insurance the City may have..." ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No. it or "for any and all work performed with the City' may be included in this statement). 3. "Should any of the above described policies be canceled before the expiration date thereof, the issuing company will mail 30 days written notice to the Certificate Holder named." Language such as, "endeavor to" mail and "but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representative" is not acceptable and must be crossed out. 4. Both the Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability policies shall contain the insurer's waiver of subrogation in favor of City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers. In addition to the endorsements listed above, the City of Palm Springs shall be named the certificate holder on the policies. All certificates of insurance and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. All certificates of insurance must be authorized by a person with authority to bind coverage, whether that is the authorized Page 11 of 19 727272.1 agent/broker or insurance underwriter. Failure to obtain the required documents prior to the commencement of work shall not waive the Consultant's obligation to provide them. 6. INDEMNIFICATION 6.1 Indemnification and Reimbursement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall defend (at Consultant's sole cost and expense), indemnify, protect, and hold harmless City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers (collectively the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all liabilities, actions, suits, claims, demands, losses, costs, judgments, arbitration awards, settlements, damages, demands, orders, penalties, and expenses including legal costs and attorney fees (collectively "Claims"), including but not limited to Claims arising from injuries to or death of persons (Consultant's employees included), for damage to property, including property owned by City, from any violation of any federal, state, or local law or ordinance, and from errors and omissions committed by Consultant, its officers, employees, representatives, and agents, that arise out of or relate to Consultant's performance under this Agreement. This indemnification clause excludes Claims arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers. Under no circumstances shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to limit Consultant's indemnification obligation or other liability under this Agreement. Consultant's indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement until all actions against the Indemnified Parties for such matters indemnified are fully and finally barred by the applicable statute of limitations or, if an action is timely filed, until such action is final. This provision is intended for the benefit of third party Indemnified Parties not otherwise a party to this Agreement. 6.2 Design Professional Services Indemnification and Reimbursement. If the Agreement is determined to be a "design professional services agreement" and Consultant is a "design professional" under California Civil Code Section 2782.8, then: A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend (at Consultant's sole cost and expense), protect and hold harmless City and its elected officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers and all other public agencies whose approval of the project is required, (individually "Indemnified Party"; collectively "Indemnified Parties") against any and all liabilities, claims, judgments, arbitration awards, settlements, costs, demands, orders and penalties (collectively "Claims"), including but not limited to Claims arising from injuries or death of persons (Consultant's employees included) and damage to property, which Claims arise out of, pertain to, or are related to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Consultant, its agents, employees, or subcontractors, or arise from Consultant's negligent, reckless or willful performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement ("Indemnified Claims"), but Consultant's liability for Indemnified Claims shall be reduced to the extent such Claims arise from the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the City and its elected officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers. B. The Consultant shall require all non-design-professional sub-contractors, used or sub-contracted by Consultant to perform the Services or Work required under this Agreement, Page 12 of 19 727272.1 16 to execute an Indemnification Agreement adopting the indemnity provisions in sub-section 6.1 in favor of the Indemnified Parties. In addition, Consultant shall require all non-design- professional sub-contractors, used or sub-contracted by Consultant to perform the Services or Work required under this Agreement, to obtain insurance that is consistent with the Insurance provisions as set forth in this Agreement, as well as any other insurance that may be required by Contract Officer. 7. REPORTS AND RECORDS 7.1 Accounting Records. Consultant shall keep complete, accurate, and detailed accounts of all time, costs, expenses, and expenditures pertaining in any way to this Agreement. Consultant shall keep such books and records as shall be necessary to properly perform the Services required by this Agreement and to enable the Contract Officer to evaluate the performance of such Services. The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such books and records at all reasonable times, including the right to inspect, copy, audit, and make records and transcripts from such records. 7.2 Reports. Consultant shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the Services required by this Agreement, or as the Contract Officer shall require. Consultant acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of the Work and Services to be performed under this Agreement. For this reason, Consultant agrees that Consultant shall promptly notify the Contract Officer the estimated increased or decreased cost if Consultant becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the contemplated Work or Services. If Consultant is providing design services, Consultant shall promptly notify the Contract Officer the estimated increased or decreased cost for the project being designed if Consultant becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the design services. 7.3 Ownership of Documents. All drawings, specifications, reports, records, documents, memoranda, correspondence, computations, and other materials prepared by Consultant, its employees, subcontractors, and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be promptly delivered to City upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement. Consultant shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership of the documents and materials. Any use of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of incomplete documents without specific written authorization by the Consultant will be at the City's sole risk and without liability to Consultant, and the City shall indemnify the Consultant for all resulting damages. Consultant may retain copies of such documents for their own use. Consultant shall have an unrestricted right to use the concepts embodied tin this Agreement. Consultant shall ensure that all its subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them. In the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify City for all resulting damages. 7.4 Release of Documents. All drawings, specifications, reports, records, documents, and other materials prepared by Consultant in the performance of services under Page 13 of 19 727272.E this Agreement shall not be released publicly without the prior written approval of the Contract Officer. All information gained by Consultant in the performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential and shall not be released by Consultant without City's prior written authorization. 7.5 Audit and Inspection of Records. After receipt of reasonable notice and during the regular business hours of City, Consultant shall provide City, or other agents of City, such access to Consultant's books, records, payroll documents, and facilities as City deems necessary to examine, copy, audit, and inspect all accounting books, records, work data, documents, and activities directly related to Consultant's performance under this Agreement. Consultant shall maintain such books, records, data, and documents in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall clearly identify and make such items readily accessible to such parties during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment by City hereunder. 8. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT 8.1 California Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted both as to validity and as to performance of the Parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim, or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Riverside, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such County, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. 8.2 Interpretation. This Agreement shall be construed as a whole according to its fair language and common meaning to achieve the objectives and purposes of the Parties. The terms of this Agreement are contractual and the result of negotiation between the Parties. Accordingly, any rule of construction of contracts (including, without limitation, California Civil Code Section 1654) that ambiguities are to be construed against the drafting party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. The caption headings of the various sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience and identification purposes only and shall not be deemed to limit, expand, or define the contents of the respective sections or paragraphs. 8.3 Default of Consultant. Consultant's failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a default. A. If the City Manager, or his designee, determines that Consultant is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, he/she shall notify Consultant in writing of such default. Consultant shall have ten (10) days, or such longer period as City may designate, to cure the default by rendering satisfactory performance. In the event Consultant fails to cure its default within such period of time, City shall have the right, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without further notice and without prejudice of any remedy to which City may be entitled at law, in equity, or under this Agreement. Consultant shall be liable for all reasonable costs incurred by City as a result of such default. Compliance with the provisions of this section shall not constitute a waiver of any City right to take legal action in the event that the dispute is not Page 14 of 19 727272.1 16, cured, provided that nothing shall limit City's right to terminate this Agreement without cause under Section 3.5. B. If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 8.3A, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise. The Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the Services required hereunder exceeds the Maximum Contract Amount (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages). The City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. The withholding or failure to withhold payments to Consultant shall not limit Consultant's liability for completion of the Services as provided in this Agreement. 8.4 Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Party against whom enforcement of a waiver is sought. Any waiver by the Parties of any default or breach of any covenant, condition, or term contained in this Agreement, shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent or other default or breach, nor shall failure by the Parties to require exact, full, and complete compliance with any of the covenants, conditions, or terms contained in this Agreement be construed as changing the terms of this Agreement in any manner or preventing the Parties from enforcing the full provisions. 8.5 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party. 8.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either Party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct, remedy or recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. 8.7 Attorney Fees. In the event any dispute between the Parties with respect to this Agreement results in litigation or any non-judicial proceeding, the prevailing Party shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to recover from the non-prevailing Party all reasonable costs and expenses. These include but are not limited to reasonable attorney fees, expert consultant fees, court costs and all fees, costs, and expenses incurred in any appeal or in collection of any judgment entered in such proceeding. To the extent authorized by law, in the event of a dismissal by the plaintiff or petitioner of the litigation or non-judicial proceeding within thirty (30) days of the date set for trial or hearing, the other Party shall be deemed to be the prevailing Party in such litigation or proceeding. 9. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION 9.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees. No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any successor-in-interest, in the event of Page 15 of 19 727272.1 16 any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement. 9.2 Conflict of Interest. No officer or employee of the City shall have any direct or indirect financial interest in this Agreement nor shall any such officer or employee participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which effects their financial interest or the financial interest of any corporation, partnership, or association in which he/she is, directly or indirectly, interested in violation of any state statute or regulation. Consultant warrants that Consultant has not paid or given, and will not pay or give, any third party any money or other consideration in exchange for obtaining this Agreement. 9.3 Covenant Against Discrimination. In connection with its performance under this Agreement, Consultant shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, sex, age, marital status, ancestry, or national origin. Consultant shall ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during their employment, without regard to their race, religion, color, sex, age, marital status, ancestry, or national origin. Such actions shall include, but not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. 10. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 10.1 Patent and Copyright Infringement. To the fullest extent permissible under law, and in lieu of any other warranty by City or Consultant against patent or copyright infringement, statutory or otherwise: A. It is agreed that Consultant shall defend at its expense any claim or suit against City on account of any allegation that any item furnished under this Agreement, or the normal use or sale arising out of the performance of this Agreement, infringes upon any presently existing U.S. letters patent or copyright and Consultant shall pay all costs and damages finally awarded in any such suit or claim, provided that Consultant is promptly notified in writing of the suit or claim and given authority, information and assistance at Consultant's expense for the defense of same, and provided such suit or claim arises out of, pertains to, or is related to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Consultant. However, Consultant will not indemnify City if the suit or claim results from: (1) City's alteration of a deliverable, such that City's alteration of such deliverable created the infringement upon any presently existing U.S. letters patent or copyright; or (2) the use of a deliverable in combination with other material not provided by Consultant when it is such use in combination which infringes upon an existing U.S. letters patent or copyright. B. Consultant shall have sole control of the defense of any such claim or suit and all negotiations for settlement in the event City fails to cooperate in the defense of any suit or claim, provided, however, that such defense shall be at Consultant's expense. Consultant shall not be obligated to indemnify City under any settlement that is made without Consultant's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the use or sale of such item is enjoined as a result of the suit or claim, Consultant, at no expense to City, shall obtain for City the right Page 16 of 19 727272.1 2U to use and sell the item, or shall substitute an equivalent item acceptable to City and extend this patent and copyright indemnity thereto. 10.2 Notice. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, or communication that either party desires, or is required to give to the other party or any other person shall be in writing. All notices shall be personally delivered, sent by pre-paid First Class U.S. Mail, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or delivered or sent by facsimile with attached evidence of completed transmission.

Prepare plans, specifications and estimate (PS&E) for construction of certain street and storm drainage improvements in Hermosa Drive, and certain improvements at the southeast corner of Tahquitz Canyon Way and Hermosa Drive. Provide turn-key construction inspection and administration of the project (optional, to be added as an additional scope of work at the discretion of the City). Work Plan The project will be completed in the following four (4) phases: • Phase 1 — Environmental Approval and Project Development • Phase 2 — Engineering Design (Plans, Specifications and Estimates) • Phase 3 — Right-of-Way Services • Phase 4 — Construction Administration (Optional —to be added at the discretion of the City) Phase 1 — Environmental Approval and Project Development Task 1.1 Project Research — Consultant shall research all available City, utility company and other agency and developer records, as necessary, to secure all relevant information required to identify, locate and accurately lay out all improvements, utilities and easements, centerlines, right-of-way limits and private property lines. Task 1.2 Initial Site Visit — Existing conditions and supporting improvements, such as pavement surface areas, curb, gutter, sidewalks and driveways, access ramps, fences, structures and existing landscaping/irrigation system improvements will be inventoried within the project limits. Pictures/videos will be taken of the entire project area to confirm existing conditions. Task 1.3 Project Scope of Work Compliance — Consultant shall meet with the appropriate Agua Caliente Cultural Museum, City of Palm Springs and Caltrans Local Programs officials to define and achieve approval of the programming requirements for the federal-aid funds obligated to this project and to coordinate programming changes to ensure the final agreed scope of work for the project is eligible under associated federal guidelines. Task 1.4 Topographic Survey — Consultant shall coordinate with the City to obtain known survey data for this site. Consultant shall complete an accurate topographic survey of the project site, including the horizontal and vertical control of all existing culture, overhead and underground utilities, curb, gutters, ramps, medians and driveways. Consultant shall establish one (1) temporary bench mark for use during construction. Exhibit"A" Page 1 of 11 7zn72 i EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF SERVICES Task 1.5 Base Map Development — Utilizing research documents and field survey data, Consultant shall develop a project area base map of the intersection at a scale of 1" = 20' (max.), accurately showing the vertical and horizontal locations (where possible) of all existing right-of-way lines, property lines, site culture, utilities and other potential obstruction of the project site. Task 1.6 Initial Utility Coordination — Consultant shall identify and officially notify all affected utility companies providing services within the limits of the project intersections and request copies of utility maps, plans, and records of existing facilities. Field reviews will be conducted to locate and verify all surface evidence of existing sub-surface and overhead installations within the limits of this project. All utility information obtained from its research effort and field reviews will be plotted on the Base Map. Consultant shall initiate the development of a Utility Log of all future correspondence with the affected utilities. Task 1.7 Environmental Clearance Support Services — Consultant shall complete the following environmental clearance activities necessary to obtain a Negative or Mitigated Negative Declaration environmental clearance for the project through Caltrans Local Assistance: Project Initiation — Prepare a detailed project description, including identification of the project footprint and timing of construction, and an Area of Potential Effects (APE) Map for potential environmental impacts that will accompany the PES. Consultant shall coordinate with Caltrans as necessary the review and approval of the APE Map. Preliminary Environmental Study -- Coordinate, attend and facilitate a field review meeting with Caltrans and conduct preliminary research to complete a Preliminary Environmental Studies (PES) Form consistent with the Caltrans' Local Assistance Procedures Manual. Consultant shall coordinate with Caltrans as necessary the review and approval of the PES Form. Technical Studies— Prepare the following technical reports: Air Quality Report — The federal Clean Air Act (CAA) establishes federal air quality standards, known as national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), and specifies future dates for achieving compliance. The CAA mandates that the state submit and implement a State Implementation Plan (SIP) for areas not meeting these standards (nonattainment areas). The primary air quality issue surrounding the proposed road and drainage improvement activities from the Baristo Channel to Arenas Road would be the consistency of these improvements with both the 2007 Air Quality Management Plan (for ozone attainment) and Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan. For example, 40 CFR Part 51 and Part 93 (Final Rule effective November 24, 1993) requires that federally supported activities must conform to the SIP, whose purpose is that of attaining and maintaining the NAAQS. Due to the nature of the proposed project, it is not anticipated that the limited road and drainage improvement activities would result in inconsistencies with Exhibit"A" Page 2 of 11 727272-1 r� �. iU EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF SERVICES the SIP. In order to demonstrate conformity, the report will show that the project will not result in any new violations of the NAAQS, will not impede or delay attainment of ozone and particulate matter standards, for which the Palm Springs region is designated nonattainment, and will not increase the severity or frequency of existing NAAQS violations in the area. The evaluation to determine this includes an analysis of consistency with the 2007 Air Quality Management Plan and Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan population and employment growth projections, avoidance and minimization measures to address project impacts, and incorporation of 2007 Air Quality Management Plan and Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan land use planning strategies. The project will require interagency consultation with Coachella Valley Association of Governments for PM10 (Deliverables:Air Quality Conformity Memorandum). • Cultural Resource Analysis — It is anticipated that the project would require a preparation of an HPSR/ASR under the provisions of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, including the following activities: Contact Caltrans/Agua Caliente offices to discuss any concerns and to review any records or documents that they may have regarding cultural resources within or near the APE; communications would be maintained throughout the term of the study; - Conduct an archaeological/historical records search at the Eastern Information Center, located on the campus of the University of California, Riverside and request a records search from the Agua Caliente Register; - Conduct general historical background research using archival materials and early maps to ascertain the history of land use and development trends within and near the APE; - Request a sacred lands record search from the Native American Heritage Commission and contact local Native American representatives regarding Native American resources in and around the project area, including follow-up phone calls, as required by Caltrans and the Section 106 process; Complete a geomorphologic literature and map search to determine the prehistoric/historic landscapes and possible human use of those landscapes and thus assess the potential for buried cultural deposits to be present within the Area of Potential Effects (APE) as required by the Section 106 process; - Conduct site-specific historical studies, including archival and ethnographic research, interviews, and consultations with local historical societies and people with knowledge of local history and the history of the APE, to determine past land uses; to learn about former owners and to explore historical associations; and to assess the likelihood and integrity of any possible subsurface deposits; Exhibit"A" Page 3 of 11 727272.1 .P!

PURPOSE AND SCHEDULE: The City of Palm Springs is requesting proposals from qualified professional firms to provide the City with environmental and civil engineering design services related to the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum Road and Drainage Improvements (City Project#09-04), Federal Aid Project No. PLHDL06-5282 (032) & HPLUL-5282 (033) (hereinafter the "Project"). The selected firm will be expected to provide required professional services (including environmental services) to prepare plans, specifications and estimates ("PS&E"), and turn-key construction inspection and administration services for implementing the Project. The Project is made possible by funding through two federal earmark grants awarded specifically to the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum ("ACCM"), a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization interpreting the history and culture of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and other Cahuilla peoples. The ACCM was successful in obtaining Congressional approval of a Public Lands Highways Discretionary ("PLHD") Program earmark to develop and enhance public access to the new Agua Caliente Cultural Museum to be constructed at the southeast corner of Tahquitz Canyon Way and Hermosa Drive (2006 PLHD Earmark #3677, FIR 3058, Public Law 109-115). The ACCM was also successful in obtaining Congressional approval of a High Priority Project earmark to develop road and signage improvements to the new Agua Caliente Cultural Museum from the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users ("SAFETEA-LU"), (2009 SAFETEA-LU HPPP# 3792 (DEMO ID 716), Public Law 109-59). RFP#05-11 Page 3 of 13 The ACCM requested the City to act on its behalf to receive the federal aid funds awarded to it by Congress for its use. Pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding between the ACCM and City, the City will receive the federal aid funds and coordinate the project. All federal aid funds programmed on local agency projects are coordinated through the California Department of Transportation ("Caltrans"), and the selected firm will be expected to provide all necessary coordination with Caltrans required to successfully implement the Project through all phases of work. The selected firm will be required to demonstrate adequate experience coordinating federally funded projects through Caltrans — District 8 (San Bernardino/Riverside counties), including the time and personnel commitments required to pursue federal environmental approvals with Caltrans District 8 staff. Staff from the selected firm assigned to work on this Project must have relevant experience with Caltrans District 8, including knowledge of and experience with the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual and other related guidelines.

BACKGROUND: The Agua Caliente Cultural Museum ("ACCM") has received two federal earmarks related to a new cultural museum to be constructed at the southeast corner of Tahquitz Canyon Way and Hermosa Drive. The ACCM, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, is unable to directly receive federal aid funds awarded to it by Congress. Federal aid funds distributed to agencies within California are disbursed first to the state's Department of Transportation ("Caltrans"), and subsequently received by the sub-recipient for use as specifically intended. Typically, the sub-recipient is a state or local agency, however, in this case the ACCM is the sub-recipient and is prevented from receiving the federal aid funds directly from Caltrans. Pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU"), the ACCM and City have agreed to allow the City to act on its behalf as the sub-recipient of its federal aid funds, and to coordinate the federal aid project to benefit the new cultural museum. One federal earmark (2006 PLHD Earmark #3677, HR 3058, Public Law 109-115), was originally proposed for "Planning and Engineering of roadway, interpretive signage, drainage, vehicular parking areas, and appurtenant structures and facilities." As indicated in the FY 2005 PLHD Program project application submitted by the ACCM, the Project Purpose and Benefits are: "This project will develop and enhance public access to the new Agua Caliente Cultural Museum (ACCM). A native cultures museum focused on interpreting the history and culture of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and other Cahuilla and Native peoples, the ACCM will be a place of both local and national significance; a place to teach new generations of the rich cultural history of the region. This project will enhance leased Indian land to create a world- class museum, providing economic development and community enhancement for the City of Palm Springs and the surrounding Southern California area. With these funds we will be able to create road improvements, parking and access necessary for the public to enjoy this facility and its programs." The ACCM originally requested $750,000 in PLHD funds, and was ultimately awarded $630,791 on July 12, 2006. The City successfully obligated these funds on September 30, 2009. RFP#05-11 Page 4 of 13 4 A second earmark (2009 SAFETEA-LU HPPP# 3792 (DEMO ID 716), Public Law 109-59), was originally proposed for "Road and Signage Improvements, southeast corner of Tahquitz Cannyon Way and Hermosa Drive, Agua Caliente Museum, Palm Springs." Congress awarded approximately $450,000 in DEMO funds to the ACCM. The City successfully obligated these funds on June 15, 2010. The ACCM has received City approval of its new cultural museum to be constructed at the southeast corner of Tahquitz Cannyon Way and Hermosa Drive, however, construction of the new museum has been postponed by the ACCM until full funding for the museum is established. However, non-use of the two federal earmarks would cause the funds to lapse, making them unavailable for the ACCM's use to benefit the future museum. Therefore, in coordination with the ACCM, the City is moving forward to make use of these federal aid funds to benefit the future museum. By formal action by the ACCM Board of Directors, the ACCM has approved the use of these funds for the design and construction of an off-site storm drain system (defined as Palm Springs Line 9 of the Master Plan of Drainage for the Palm Springs Area) extending in Hermosa Drive from the Baristo Channel to Arenas Road, including off-site street improvements in Hermosa Drive, all as necessary to provide flood control protection and a drainage outlet for, and public access to the new museum. Therefore, in collaboration with the ACCM Board of Directors, the final agreed scope of work for this project is identified as: • Hermosa Drive Street Improvements (east half, Tahquitz Canyon Way to Arenas Road; full width, Arenas Road to Baristo Road) • Palm Springs Storm Drain Line 9 Improvements (650± feet of 48" RCP [Q10=85 cfs] — Baristo Channel to Baristo Road; 650±- feet of 30" RCP [Q10=45 cfs] — Baristo Road to Arenas Road) • On-Site Parking Lot and Drainage Improvements (construction of parking lot area [exact scope to be determined during PA&ED Phase], and extension of on-site storm drainage improvements for use by the future museum) Palm Springs Storm Drain Line 9 is part of the City's Master Plan of Drainage, administered by the Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District ("RCFC"). Plans for Line 9 will require review and approval by RCFC. The portion of the Master Plan of Drainage showing Line 9 is shown on Figure 1. Special Note: The final agreed scope of work as outlined above may not be consistent with the way the two federal earmarks have been programmed and obligated by Caltrans. The selected consultant will be required to provide all assistance and coordination necessary with Caltrans to ensure the federal funds are appropriately reprogrammed consistent with federal regulations in order to use the funds in the best way possible for future use by the museum. The selected consultant will be required to ensure that the ACCM Board's approval of the use of these funds for design and construction of an off-site storm drain system, including street improvements for Hermosa Drive, and related on-site parking lot improvements for the future museum, are coordinated with Caltrans District 8 staff, and programmed appropriately with Caltrans and the Riverside County Transportation Commission in the Federal Transportation Improvement Program. There have been certain restrictions on the use of both federal earmarks as currently obligated by Caltrans, and the City will require the selected consultant to verify programming requirements for the federal-aid funds, and to coordinate programming changes to ensure the final agreed scope of work for the project is eligible under associated federal guidelines. RFP#05-11 Page 5of13 49 As a federally funded project, the Project requires environmental clearance pursuant to both the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA"). The City is the Lead Agency with regard to CEQA, and the Federal Highway Administration ("FHWA") has delegated its authority for NEPA to Caltrans. The selected firm will be required to provide professional services necessary to obtain CEQA and NEPA approvals. Given the scope of the Project, it is anticipated that the Project will require a Categorical Exclusion ("CE") in accordance with CEQA regulations; and CE in accordance with NEPA regulations. The selected consultant will be required to adequately document findings to support a CEQA CE pursuant to state law, and to support a NEPA CE as required by Caltrans pursuant to federal law. The ACCM previously developed preliminary plans for an on-site and off-site storm drain system to benefit the new museum, which will be made available to the selected consultant for its use in developing the project. Although preliminary plans were previously developed by the ACCM's own consultant, the City's selected consultant will be required to develop its own preliminary plans and to obtain environmental approvals prior to completing final design of this project. 3. SCOPE OF WORK: The scope of work will consist of the preparation of Environmental Documents and Technical Studies and all other related documents and/or reports to comply with applicable local, state and federal regulations, policies, procedures, manuals and standards necessary to obtain CEQA/NEPA environmental approvals; preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) for the Project; and turn-key construction inspection and administration. The Project will be divided into the following three phases: Phase One: Environmental Approval & Project Development (EA&PD) Phase Two: Engineering Design (Plans, Specifications and Estimates [PS&E]) Phase Three: Construction Administration Please refer to Attachment 1 for a General Scope of Work for each phase of the Project. Phase Three services (construction administration) may or may not be included in the final consultant contract recommended for approval by the City Council. Note: The City's budget for the EA&PD and PS&E phases of this project is$100,000. 4. PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS: Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Requirements: As this project is funded in part by federal funds, the selected firm's final contract is subject to applicable provisions of the Caltrans Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program Plan as it relates to local agencies. The DBE Program Plan is prepared in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), 49 CFR, Part 26 regulations. Firms replying to this RFP shall review the Notice to Proposers — Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Information (Exhibit 10-1), included as Attachment 2 to this RFP. Additionally, firms should review the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual ("LAPM"), Chapter 10 "Consultant Selection", to be aware of the Caltrans regulations and requirements if being selected for the Project. The City will be utilizing the "One Step RFP" process as identified in RFP#05-11 Page 6 of 13 J � the Chapter 10 of the LAPM, which is available on the Caltrans website at: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocaIPrograms/lam/prog_p/p10consult.pdf. It is the policy of the City of Palm Springs to ensure that DBE's, as defined in 49 CFR, Part 26, have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in federal-aid contracts. It is also the City's policy: • To ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. • To create a level playing field on which DBE's can compete fairly for DOT-assisted contracts. • To ensure that the City's annual overall DBE participation percentage is narrowly tailored, in accordance with applicable law. • To ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 CFR, Part 26 eligibility standards are permitted to participate as DBEs. • To help remove barriers to the participation of DBE's in DOT-assisted contracts. • To assist the development of firms that can compete successfully in the market place outside the DBE Program. DBE's and other small businesses are strongly encouraged to participate in the performance of Agreements financed in whole or in part with federal funds (See 49 CFR, Part 26, "Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs"). Firms submitting a proposal in reply to this RFP should ensure that DBE's and other small businesses have the opportunity to participate in the performance of the work that is the subject of this solicitation and should take all necessary and reasonable steps for this assurance. Firms shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of its subcontracts. Firms are encouraged to use services offered by financial institutions owned and controlled by DBE's. The City of Palm Springs has established an Annual Anticipated DBE Participation Level (AADPL), which is the level of participation that the City would expect DBEs to achieve in the absence of discrimination and the effects of past discrimination on federal-aid contracts awarded by the City in a given Federal Fiscal Year(FFY). The City of Palm Springs operates under a state-wide DBE Program administered by Caltrans. Effective February 27, 2009, Caltrans implemented the race-conscious component of its DBE program. Federal-aid contracts will contain varying percentages of Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (UDBE) participation goals that selected firms will be required to meet or, alternatively, perform a good-faith effort to meet as a condition of award of a contract. Under the race-neutral component of the program, Caltrans will continue to encourage the use of DBEs. Only UDBEs will count toward the contract participation goal. For Fiscal Year 2009/2010, the City's total DBE participation level is 2.63%. The race neutral portion is 1.38% and the race conscious portion (UDBE) is 1.25%. Therefore, if portions of the work required by the Project are not assigned by sub-contract to DBE or UDBE firms equal to or exceeding the participation levels, the selected firm will be required to demonstrate that appropriate good faith efforts were made. A "Local Agency Proposer UDBE Commitment (Consultant Contracts)" Exhibit 10-01 form and a "Local Agency Proposer DBE Information (Consultant Contracts)" Exhibit 10-02 form will be RFP#05-11 Page 7 of 13 J1 included in the Agreement documents to be executed by the successful firm. A copy of these forms is included as part of the City's standard Professional Services Agreement (see Attachment 5). The purpose of these forms is to collect data required under 49 CFR, Part 26. Even if no DBE participation will be reported, the successful firm must execute and return the forms. Firms replying to this RFP are advised to read more about the Caltrans race-conscious DBE Program by visiting the Caltrans DBE website at: www,dot,ca.gov/hg/LocalPrograms/DBE _CRLC.html. General Requirements: The firm's proposal should describe the methodology to be used to accomplish each of the project tasks. The proposal should also describe the work which shall be necessary in order to satisfactorily complete the task requirements. Please note: this RFP cannot identify each specific, individual task required to successfully and completely implement this project. The City of Palm Springs relies on the professionalism and competence of the selected firm to be knowledgeable of the general areas identified in the scope of work and to include in its proposal all required tasks and subtasks, personnel commitments, man-hours, direct and indirect costs, etc. The City of Palm Springs will not approve addenda to the selected firm's agreement which do not involve a substantial change from the general scope of work identified in this RFP. Important Note: Firms replying to this RFP must be knowledgeable of the processes and procedures to obtain CEQA/NEPA environmental approvals through Caltrans District 8.

Task 1,07 03 Technical Stu dies—Prepare the following technical reports: • fir Kqp_Qkajit�r, ort The federal Clean Air Act (CAA) establishes federal air quality standards, known as , _- — national ambient air quality standards(NAAQS),and specifies future dates for achieving compliance, ')'he CAA mandates that the state submit and implement a State Implementation Plan (SIP) for areas not meeting these standards (nonattainment areas). The primary air quality issue surrounding tile proposed road and drainage improvement activities from the Baristo Channel to Arenas Road would be the consistency of these improvements with both the 2007 Air Quality Management Plan (for ozone attainment)and Coachella Valley ?M;,)State Implementation Plan. For example,40 CFR Part 51 and Part 93 (Final Rule effective November 24, 1993)requires that federally supported activities must conform to the SIP,whose purpose is that of attairingand maintaining the NAAQS. Due to the nature of the proposed project, it is not anticipated that the limited road and drainage improvement activities would result in inconsistencies with the SIP. In order to demonstrate conforinity,the report will show that the project will not result in any new violations of the. NAAQS, will not impede or delay attainment of ozone and particulate matter standards, for which the Palm Springs region is designated nonattainment,and will not increase the severity or frequency of existing NAAQS violations in the area, -Pie evaluation to determine this includes an analysis of consistency with the 2007 Air Quality Management Plan and Coachella Valley PMLO State frilpIpmontation Plan population and employment growth projections, avoidance and minimization me'a'sur� to ad Tess project impacts, and incorporation of 2007 Air Quality Management Plan and Cea InNal*y Plvlj,'Staid Implementation Plan land use planning strategies.
