Approve Resolutions authorizing the amendment of existing City of
Carlsbad Master Service Agreements for horizontal construction
management and inspection services to reduce the total contract
amounts from $3,200,000 to $2,300,000, and the execution of new
Carlsbad Municipal Water District Master Service Agreements for
horizontal construction management and inspection services in an
amount not to exceed $900,000.
Recommended Action
Approve Resolutions authorizing the amendment of existing City Master Service Agreements
for horizontal construction management and inspection services to reduce the total contract
amounts from $3,200,000 to $2,300,000, and the execution of new Carlsbad Municipal Water
District Master Service Agreements for horizontal construction management and inspection
services in an amount not to exceed $900,000.
Executive Summary
The city's Construction Management & Inspection Division executes master service agreements
with consultants when expertise is needed to support construction projects, or when staff
levels are not sufficient. There are projects that require as-needed efforts with both the
horizontal (i.e., civil) construction management and inspection, and water construction
management and inspection. The agreements were initially executed via the City of Carlsbad
legal entity. It has been determined that separate agreements for the City of Carlsbad and the
Carlsbad Municipal Water District are now required.
Discussion
In September 2016, four City of Carlsbad Master Service Agreements were executed for
horizontal construction management and inspection services. It is now necessary to create
three new Carlsbad Municipal Water District Master Service Agreements, and amend three City
of Carlsbad Master Service Agreements to allow work to be performed for water construction
management and inspection. A portion of the previously awarded funds will be applied to
Carlsbad Municipal Water District projects to reflect estimated project needs. This allows
Carlsbad Municipal Water District to access the same quality skills and technical abilities of
consultants' staff and proposals accepted by the city during a prior competitive bidding process.
One ofthe original four City of Carlsbad Master Service Agreements shall remain unchanged.
Page 251
Fiscal Analysis
Each agreement is for an annual not-to-exceed amount and will be used as needed. Funding for
services on public projects is available in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget for
Public Works projects and will come from the budget for specific projects where the services
under these agreements are used. Funding for services on private projects is available in the
Construction Management & Inspection Operating Budget and the Water Operations Operating
Budget. Funds were approved with the fiscal year 2016-17 Operating and CIP Budgets and are
expected to be approved for fiscal year 2017-18.
The current City of Carlsbad agreements approved by City Council in September 2016 are as
follows:
Entity Consultant Amount Percent
City of Richard Brady & Associates $800,000/year 100%
Carlsbad Butier Engineering, Inc. $800,000/year 100%
Kleinfelder-Simon Wong Engineering . $800,000/year 100%
Infrastructure Engineering 100%
Corporation S8001000Lyear
TOTAL $3,200,000/year
After the proposed changes the agreements would be:
Entity Consultant Amount Percent
City of Richard Brady & Associates $500,000/year 63%
Carlsbad
Butier Engineering, Inc. $500,000/year 63%
Kleinfelder-Simon Wong Engineering $500,000/year 63%
Infrastructure Engineering
Corporation (NO CHANGES) S8001000Lyear 100%
TOTAL $2,300,000/year
Carlsbad Richard Brady & Associates $300,000/year 37%
Municipal Kleinfelder-Simon Wong Engineering $300,000/year 37%
Water Butier Engineering, Inc. S3001000Lyear 37%
District TOTAL $900,000/year
Payments will be made for actual work performed by the contractor based on the fee schedule
in each agreement. Work performed for the Capital Improvement Program will be dependent
on each project's funding as awarded by City Council on an individual basis. Similarly, payments
will also be made for actual work performed for private development projects based on the fee
schedule in each agreement, and is limited by the amounts appropriated by City Council during
the annual operating budget process. Extensions of all agreements will be based on a
Page 252
satisfactory review of the contractor's performance, city needs, and appropriation of funds by
City Council to CIP projects and the Operating Budget. Sufficient funds are available in the
approved fiscal year 2016-17 budget for the current request.
Next Steps
Execute the agreements and agreement amendments, and issue task orders as needed.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change
in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment,
and therefore does not require environmental review.
Public Notification
This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public
viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to the scheduled meeting date.

Contractor will perform the Services in Contractor's own way as an independent contractor and
in pursuit of Contractor's independent calling, and not as an employee of CMWD. Contractor will
be under control of CMWD only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with CMWD
as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not
be considered employees of CMWD for any purposes.
The payment made to Contractor pursuant to the Agreement will be the full and complete
compensation to which Contractor is entitled. CMWD will not make any federal or state tax
withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. CMWD will not
be required to pay any workers' compensation insurance or unemployment contributions on
behalf of Contractor or its employees or subcontractors. Contractor agrees to indemnify CMWD
and the City of Carlsbad within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security,
overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which CMWD
may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of
Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At CMWD's election, CMWD may deduct the
indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor.

Contractor will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of
CMWD. If Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to
2 General Counsel Approved Version 9/1/15
Page 272
TRAN1561
CMWD for the acts and omissions of Contractor's subcontractor and of the persons either directly
or indirectly employed by the subcontractor, as Contractor is for the acts and omissions of persons
directly employed by Contractor. Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual
relationship between any subcontractor of Contractor and CMWD. Contractor will be responsible
for payment of subcontractors. Contractor will bind every subcontractor and every subcontractor
of a subcontractor by the terms of this Agreement applicable to Contractor's work unless
specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract and approved in writing by CMWD.
8. OTHER CONTRACTORS
CMWD reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the Services.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CMWD and the City of Carlsbad and its
officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all claims, damages, losses and
expenses including attorneys fees arising out of the performance of the work described herein
caused by any willful misconduct or negligent act or omission of the Contractor, any
subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts
any of them may be liable.
The parties expressly agree that any payment, attorney's fee, costs or expense CMWD or the
City of Carlsbad incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under CMWD's self-
administered workers' compensation is included as a loss, expense or cost for the purposes of
this section, and that this section will survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement.
10. INSURANCE
Contractor will obtain and maintain for the duration of the Agreement and any and all
amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may
arise out of or in connection with performance of the services by Contractor or Contractor's

insurance carrier admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California. The insurance
carrier is required to have a current Best's Key Rating of not less than "A-:VII"; OR with a surplus

in the latest Best's Key Rating Guide of at least "A:X"; OR an alien non-admitted insurer listed by
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) latest quarterly listings report.
10.1 Coverages and Limits. Contractor will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits
indicated below, unless the Risk Manager or Executive Manager for CMWD approves a lower
amount. These minimum amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on
Contractor's indemnification obligations under this Agreement. CMWD, its officers, agents and
employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by
Contractor pursuant to this Agreement are adequate to protect Contractor. If Contractor believes
that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Contractor will obtain such additional
insurance coverage, as Contractor deems adequate, at Contractor's sole expense. The full limits
available to the named insured shall also be available and applicable to CMWD as an additional
insured.
10.1.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance. $2,000,000 combined single-limit
per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If the submitted policies
3 General Counsel Approved Version 9/1/15

Agreement or the general aggregate will be twice the required per occurrence limit.

work for CMWD). $1,000,000 combined single-limit per accident for bodily injury and property
damage.

this Agreement contain, or are endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

Liability, which will be written as claims-made coverage.

this Agreement, Contractor will furnish certificates of insurance and endorsements to CMWD.

maintain insurance and CMWD may collect these payments from Contractor or deduct the amount

false claim may subject Contractor to an administrative debarment proceeding as the result of

grounds for City to terminate this Agreement.
