APPROVED AS TO FORM: CELIA A. BREWER, City Attorney BY~ D puty cityAttorney City Attorney Approved Version 9/27/17 7 Exhibit "A" BERKELEY LSA CARLSBAD FRESNO IRVINE LOS ANGELES PALM SPRINGS POINT RICHMOND RIVERSIDE ROSEVILLE SAN LUIS OBISPO May 29, 2018 Daniel Zimny, Assistant Engineer Public Works -Transportation and Engineering City of Carlsbad 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, California 92008-7314 Subject: Proposal for Environmental Consulting Services -Biological Monitoring and Reporting of Routine Maintenance for the Calavera Dam Vegetation Removal Project Dear Mr. Zimny: LSA Associates, Inc. doing business as LSA is pleased to submit this proposal for environmental consulting services associated with the Calavera Dam Vegetation Removal Project (project) in the City of Carlsbad (City). Specifically, this proposal addresses biological monitoring and reporting associated with vegetation-clearing activities for a four-year period (June 2018 to May, 2022) at the approximately 3.07-acre site. SCOPE OF SERVICES Task 1: Biological Monitoring The landscape contractor (Habitat Restoration Sciences [HRS]) will conduct four maintenance events per year. Each maintenance event is expected to last up to three days, based on previous years' monitoring. An LSA biologist will monitor vegetation-clearing activities for a half day on the first day of each maintenance event, and then two hours for each subsequent day of the maintenance event. Prior to the start of each maintenance event, the biologist shall conduct a training session attended by all project personnel. LSA will prepare and submit to the City a Daily Observation Report for each daily monitoring visit. LSA has budgeted for 48 monitoring visits over the four-year period. Budget for each monitoring visit includes Daily Observation Report preparation and submittal time and travel time and mileage to and from the project site from the LSA Carlsbad office. Task 2: Pre-Clearance Nesting Bird Surveys During the bird breeding season (February 1 through September 15), an LSA biologist will conduct a nesting bird survey prior to the commencement of vegetation-clearing activities for each maintenance event. Each survey would be conducted no more than 72 hours before vegetation- clearing activities commence. It is estimated that three out of the four maintenance events per year will be conducted during the bird breeding season. Because the vegetation-clearing activities for each maintenance event will be conducted on consecutive days, only one nesting bird survey will be required for each maintenance event. However, if there is more than 72 hours of vegetation- clearing inactivity, an additional nesting bird survey would be required. The results of each nesting bird survey will be included in the Daily Observation Report to be prepared for the following 703 Palomar Airport Road, Suite 260, Carlsbad, California 92011 760.931.5471 www.lsa.net Exhibit "A" LSA monitoring visit. LSA has budgeted for 10 pre-clearance nesting bird surveys. However, if the maintenance schedule permits, then LSA will conduct the nesting bird surveys on the same day as the beginning of each maintenance event to reduce the number of visits and associated cost to the City. Task 3: Annual Monitoring Reports LSA will prepare an annual report summarizing the activities performed by HRS during the maintenance visits for the calendar year. The report shall include all Daily Observation Reports, meeting sign-in sheets, and Inspection Checklists. The annual report shall have an introduction, summary of maintenance and monitoring activities, and will include the figures from the Maintenance and Monitoring Manual for Lake Calavera Dam (City of Carlsbad 2012) and pictures of the site. LSA will submit a draft version of each annual report to the City in electronic format for review. Upon completion of review by the City, and upon receipt of one set of consolidated comments, LSA will address the comments and finalize the report. Each annual report will be submitted to the Carlsbad Municipal Water District and California Department of Fish and Wildlife by the due date of January 31 following the year that is monitored. Budget for this task allows for one round of revisions for each annual report. LSA has budgeted for the preparation of four annual reports. Task 4: Project Management, Meetings, and Coordination LSA has included budget for coordination with the City and HRS staff as needed. This coordination may include telephone calls and/or emails and possibly attendance at one or more meetings. LSA has allocated 16 hours for this task. ESTIMATED BUDGET LSA proposes to conduct the services described above on a time-and-materials basis. LSA estimates the total cost for labor and other direct costs over the four-year period at $42,400, as detailed in the budget table below. LSA will not exceed this amount without prior written authorization. If you are in agreement with the terms and conditions of this proposal, please provide written authorization to proceed.

Obligations At The Insureds Own Cost No insured will, except at that insured's own cost, voluntarily make a payment, assume any obligation, or incur any expense, other than for first aid, without our consent. ® Additional Insureds Other Insurance If we cover a claim or "suit" under this Coverage Part that may also be covered by other insurance available to an additional insured, such additional insured must submit such claim or "suit" to the other insurer for defense and indemnity.

To join us as a party or otherwise bring us into a "suit" asking for damages from an insured; or b. To sue us on this Coverage Part unless all of its terms have been fully complied with. A person or organization may sue us to recover on an agreed settlement or on a final judgment against an insured; but we will not be liable for damages that are not payable under the terms of this Coverage Part or Page 13 of 18 that are in excess of the applicable limit of insurance. An agreed settlement means a settlement and release of liability signed by us, the insured and the claimant or the claimant's legal representative. 4. Other Insurance If other valid and collectible insurance is available to the insured for a loss we cover under Coverages A or B of this Coverage Part, our obligations are limited as follows: a. Primary Insurance This insurance is primary except when b. below applies. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described inc. below. b. Excesslnsurance This insurance is excess over any of the other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis: (1) Your Work That is Fire, Extended Coverage, Builder's Risk, Installation Risk or similar coverage for "your work"; (2) Premises Rented To You That is fire, lightning or explosion insurance for premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; (3) Tenant Liability That is insurance purchased by you to cover your liability as a tenant for "property damage" to premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; (4) Aircraft, Auto Or Watercraft If the loss arises out of the maintenance or use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to the extent not subject to Exclusion g. of Section I -Coverage A-Bodily Injury And Property Damage Liability; (5) Property Damage to Borrowed Equipment Or Use Of Elevators If the loss arises out of "property damage" to borrowed equipment or the use of elevators to the extent not subject to Exclusion j. of Section I -Coverage A -Bodily Injury And Property Damage Liability; (6) When You Are Added As An Additional Insured To Other Insurance Any other insurance available to you covering liability for damages arising out of the premises or operations, or products and completed operations, for which you have been added as an additional insured by that insurance; or Page 14 of 18 (7) When You Add Others As An Additional Insured To This Insurance Any other insurance available to an additional insured. However, the following provisions apply to other insurance available to any person or organization who is an additional insured under this coverage part. (a) Primary Insurance When Required By Contract This insurance is primary if you have agreed in a written contract or written agreement that this insurance be primary. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described inc. below. (b) Primary And Non-Contributory To Other Insurance When Required By Contract If you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement, or permit that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured's own insurance, this insurance is primary and we will not seek contribution from that other insurance. Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to other insurance to which the additional insured has been added as an additional insured. When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty under Coverages A or B to defend the insured against any "suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend the insured against that "suit". If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers. When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of: (1) The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this insurance; and (2) The total of all deductible and self-insured amounts under all that other insurance. We will share the remaining loss, if any, with any other insurance that is not described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations of this Coverage Part. c. Method Of Sharing If all of the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first. HG 00 010605 If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer's share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers. 5. Premium Audit a. We will compute all premiums for this Coverage Part in accordance with our rules and rates. b. Premium shown in this Coverage Part as advance premium is a deposit premium only. At the close of each audit period we will compute the earned premium for that period and send notice to the first Named Insured. The due date for audit and retrospective premiums is the date shown as the due date on the bill. If the sum of the advance and audit premiums paid for the policy period is greater than the earned premium, we will return the excess to the first Named Insured. c. The first Named Insured must keep records of the information we need for premium computation, and send us copies at such times as we may request. 6. Representations a. When You Accept This Policy By accepting this policy, you agree: (1) The statements in the Declarations are accurate and complete; (2) Those statements are based upon representations you made to us; and (3) We have issued this policy in reliance upon your representations. b. Unintentional Failure To Disclose Hazards If unintentionally you should fail to disclose all hazards relating to the conduct of your business that exist at the inception date of this Coverage Part, we shall not deny coverage under this Coverage Part because of such failure. 7. Separation Of Insureds Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance, and any rights or duties specifically assigned in this Coverage Part to the first Named Insured, this insurance applies: a. As if each Named Insured were the only Named Insured; and b. Separately to each insured against whom claim is made or "suit" is brought. 8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us a. Transfer of Rights Of Recovery If the insured has rights to recover all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, those rights are transferred to us. The insured must do nothing after loss to impair them. At our request, the HG 00 010605 insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and help us enforce them. b. Waiver Of Rights Of Recovery (Waiver Of Subrogation) If the insured has waived any rights of recovery against any person or organization for all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, we also waive that right, provided the insured waived their rights of recovery against such person or organization in a contract, agreement or permit that was executed prior to the injury or damage. 9. When We Do Not Renew If we decide not to renew this Coverage Part, we will mail or deliver to the first Named Insured shown in the Declarations written notice of the nonrenewal not less than 30 days before the expiration date. If notice is mailed, proof of mailing will be sufficient proof of notice. SECTION V -DEFINITIONS 1.
