6. PUBLIC WORKS
6.1 Prevailing Wage Rates. Any construction, alteration, demolition, repair, and maintenance work,
including work performed during design and preconstruction such as inspection and land surveying work,
cumulatively exceeding $1,000 and performed under this Agreement constitute “public works” under

the California Labor Code. Pursuant to Section 1773.2 of the California Labor code, a current copy of
applicable wage rates is on file in the office of the City Engineer. Contractor shall not pay less than the
said specified prevailing rates of wages to all such workers employed by him or her in the execution of the

public work by any subcontractor or subconsultant under this Agreement, Contractor must furnish City
with the subcontractor or subconsultant's current DIR registration number.
7. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Procore Project Management and Collaboration System. This project may utilize the Owner’s Procore
(www.procore.com) online project management and document control platform. The intent of utilizing
Procore is to reduce cost and schedule risk, improve quality and safety, and maintain a healthy team
dynamic by improving information flow, reducing non-productive activities, reducing rework and
decreasing turnaround times. The Contractor is required to create a free web-based Procore user
account(s) and utilize web-based training / tutorials (as needed) to become familiar with the system.
Unless the Engineer approves otherwise, the Contractor shall process all project documents through
Procore because this platform will be used to submit, track, distribute and collaborate on project. If
unfamiliar or not otherwise trained with Procore, Contractor and applicable team members shall
complete a free training certification course located at http://learn.procore.com/procore-certification-
subcontractor. The Contractor is responsible for attaining their own Procore support, as needed, either
through the online training or reaching out to the Procore support team. It will be the responsibility of the
Contractor to regularly check Procore and review updated documents as they are added. There will be no
cost to the Contractor for use of Procore.
It is recommended that the Contractor provide mobile access for Windows, iOS located at
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/procore-construction-management/id374930542 or Android devices
located at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.procore.activities with the Procore App
installed to at least one on-site individual to provide real-time access to current posted drawings,
specifications, RFIs, submittals, schedules, change orders, project documents, as well as any deficient
observations or punch list items. Providing mobile access will improve communication, efficiency, and
productivity for all parties. The use of Procore for project management does not relieve the contractor of
any other requirements as may be specified in the contract documents.

8. STATUS OF CONTRACTOR
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 City. Contractor will be under control of
City only as to the result to be accomplished but will consult with City as necessary. The persons used by
Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any

Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to City for the acts and
omissions of Contractor's subcontractor and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by the

Subject: Proposal for Environmental Consulting Services in Support of the Buena Vista Creek
Channel Maintenance District Project
Dear Mr. Evans:
LSA is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Carlsbad (City) to provide environmental
consulting services in support of the Buena Vista Creek Channel Maintenance District Project.
Specifically, LSA proposes to prepare renewal applications for a California Department of Fish and
Wildlife (CDFW) Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement (SAA) and a California Coastal Commission
(CCC)Coastal Development Permit (CDP). To that end, LSA proposes the following scope of work.
SCOPE OF WORK
The City’s current CDFW SAA and CCC CDP for the project were originally issued in 2014. An
extension for each permit was issued in 2019. The CDFW SAA and CCC CDP extensions will expire on
November 4, 2024, and July 17, 2024, respectively.
Task 1: California Department of Fish and Wildlife Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement
Application
LSA will prepare the application for this permit with support from the City (LSA may require
additional information regarding impacts, methods, and project description; this proposal assumes
that copies of previously submitted permit applications for this project are available). LSA will
submit the application in draft form for City review and comments. LSA will then submit the final
iteration to the CDFW and will follow up with CDFW staff during the process. As part of this task, LSA
will use the CDFW Fee Calculator to determine the fee amount. LSA assumes that the City will pay all
CDFW fees associated with this permit.
Task 2: California Coastal Commission Coastal Development Permit Application
LSA will prepare the application for this permit with support from the City (LSA may require
additional information regarding impacts, methods, and project description; this proposal assumes
that copies of previously submitted permit applications for this project are available). LSA will
submit the application in draft form for City review and comments. LSA will then submit the final
iteration to the CCC and will follow up with CCC staff during the process. As part of this task, LSA will

subcontractors (including any applicable leased equipment or vehicles). Bidders must complete and
submit the Fleet Compliance Certification, on the form provided. Failure to provide a CRC for the
Bidder, and for all listed subcontractors, or failure to complete the Fleet Compliance Certification, may
render the Bid non-responsive.

of the most current version of the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) regulations including,
without limitation, all applicable terms of Title 13, California Code of Regulations Division 3, Chapter 9

Throughout the Project, and for three (3) years thereafter, Contractor shall make available for
inspection and copying any and all documents or information associated with Contractor’s and

of Carlsbad, its officials (appointed and elected), officers, and employees from any claims, liabilities,

You must, however, give us notice as soon as practicable after being made aware that the particular claim is a

V. Other Insurance Condition
Paragraphs 4.a. and 4.b.(1) of the Other Insurance Condition of Section IV -Commercial General Liability

will not seek contribution from any other insurance available to an additional insured provided that:
(1) The additional insured is a Named Insured under such other insurance; and

contribution from any other insurance available to the additional insured.
Other insurance includes any type of self insurance or other mechanism by which an insured arranges for
funding of its legal liabilities.

thereof) to cover premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the

subject to Exclusion g. of Section 1-Coverage A-Bodily Injury And Property Damage Liability;
or
(v) That is property insurance (including any deductible or self insurance portion thereof) purchased
by you to cover damage to:
Equipment you borrow from others; or
Property loaned to you or personal property in the care, custody or control of the insured arising
out of the use of an elevator at premises you own, rent or occupy.
(b) Any other primary insurance (including any deductible or self insurance portion thereof) available to
the insured covering liability for damages arising out of the premises, operations, products, work or
services for which the insured has been granted additional insured status either by policy provision
or
attachment of any endorsement. Other primary insurance includes any type of self insurance or
other mechanism by which an insured arranges for funding of its legal liabilities.
(c) Any of the other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis, available to
an
additional insured, in which the additional insured on our policy is also covered as an additional
insured on another policy providing coverage for the same "occurrence", claim or "suit". This

Liability Conditions is replaced by the following:

insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and help us enforce them.
b. If the insured waives its right to recover payments for injury or damage from another person or organization in
a written contract executed prior to a loss, we waive any right of recovery we may have against such person
or organization because of any payment we have made under this Coverage Part. The written contract will
be considered executed when the insured's performance begins, or when it is signed, whichever happens
first. This waiver of rights shall not be construed to be a waiver with respect to any other operations in which
the insured has no contractual interest.
Y. In Rem
Section IV -Commercial General Liability Conditions is amended to add the following:
In Rem
Any "suit" brought as an action against any watercraft owned or operated by or for the insured shall in all

the insured covering liability for damages arising out of the premises, operations, products, work or
services for which the insured has been granted additional insured status either by policy provision

attachment of any endorsement. Other primary insurance includes any type of self insurance or
other mechanism by which an insured arranges for funding of its legal liabilities.

an
additional insured, in which the additional insured on our policy is also covered as an additional
insured on another policy providing coverage for the same "occurrence", claim or "suit". This

insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and help us enforce them.

a written contract executed prior to a loss, we waive any right of recovery we may have against such person
or organization because of any payment we have made under this Coverage Part. The written contract will
be considered executed when the insured's performance begins, or when it is signed, whichever happens
first. This waiver of rights shall not be construed to be a waiver with respect to any other operations in which
the insured has no contractual interest.

Section IV -Commercial General Liability Conditions is amended to add the following:
In Rem
