INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. Before beginning any work under this Agreement, Consultant, at its own cost and expense, shall procure "occurrence coverage" insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property that may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the Consultant and its agents, representatives, employees, and subcontractors.

Consultant shall maintain the insurance policies required by this section throughout the term of this Agreement. The cost of such insurance shall be included in the Consultant's bid. Consultant shall not allow any subcontractor to commence work on any subcontract until Consultant has obtained all insurance required herein for the subcontractor(s) and provided evidence thereof to City. Verification of the required insurance shall be submitted and made part of this Agreement prior to execution.

Determination of whether a self-insurance program meets the standards of the Labor Code shall be solely in the discretion of the Contract Administrator. The insurer, if insurance is provided, or the Consultant, if a program of self-insurance is provided, shall waive all rights of subrogation against the City and its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers for loss arising from work performed under this Agreement. An endorsement shall state that coverage shall not be canceled except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has 6 been given to the City.

Such coverage shall include but shall not be limited to, protection against claims arising from bodily and personal injury, including death resulting therefrom, and damage to property resulting from activities contemplated under this Agreement, including the use of owned and non-owned automobiles. 4.2.2 Minimum scope of coverage.

The insurance shall cover on an occurrence or an accident basis, and not on a claims-made basis. 7 c. An endorsement must state that coverage is primary insurance with respect to the City and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers, and that no insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City shall be called upon to contribute to a loss under the coverage. d. Any failure of CONSULTANT to comply with reporting provisions of the policy shall not affect coverage provided to CITY and its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers. e. An endorsement shall state that coverage shall not be canceled except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the City.

Prior to beginning any work under this Agreement, Consultant shall furnish City with certificates of insurance and with original endorsements effecting coverage required herein. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies and endorsements. Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of right to exercise later. 4.4.3 Subcontractors. Consultant agrees to include with all subcontractors in their subcontract the same requirements and provisions of this Agreement including the Indemnification and Insurance requirements to the extent they apply to the scope of the Subcontractor's work.

Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City (if agreed to in a written contract or agreement) before City's own insurance or self- insurance shall be called upon to protect City as a named insured. 4.4.7 Notice of Reduction in Coverage. In the event that any coverage required by this section is reduced, limited, or materially affected in any other manner, Consultant shall provide written notice to City at Consultant's earliest possible opportunity and in no case later than five days after Consultant is notified of the change in coverage. 4.5 Remedies.

Estimate the public impervious retrofit area needed to meet the City's portion of the PCBs and mercury load reductions, if needed based on the C.3 project analysis; and 4. Identify potential public parcel-based and regional project locations. The methodology to identify the public impervious area targets (#3) and potential GI retrofit locations is anticipated to entail a combination of GIS analyses and load reduction calculation. Public Impervious Area Targets for Retrofit or Redevelopment During the kick-off meeting, Geosyntec will discuss with the City how best to incorporate the spreadsheet tool developed for ACCWP member agencies (distributed in August 2016) to quantify the area of impervious surface that must receive GI stormwater treatment to meet the TMDL wasteload allocations in the MRP. The method for establishing public impervious area targets is proposed to entail identification of two estimates of retrofit and/or redevelopment area: 1. Approximating the total area needed to be redeveloped or retrofit to meet the load reduction targets for years 2020 and 2040 by land use category (i.e., 28 acres of Old Urban area would meet the City's PCBs-related GI requirement for 2020 and 681 acres would be required by 2040 per the spreadsheet tool default inputs). 2. Identifying the public and private parcels or areas that could feasibly be retrofitted or redeveloped by 2020, 2030, and 2040. Identifying the area needed from a load-reduction perspective can be answered by utilizing the ACCWP GI Implementation Tool. Any approach will entail identification of all C.3 projects that are currently or will be implemented in the City and an estimation of the extent to which C.3 projects could be implemented by 2040. Geosyntec will discuss with the City the best approach to understand what data are available to identify specific parcels or areas that could be subject to C.3 requirements during the kick-off meeting. Once the load reduction associated with the C.3 projects has been calculated, the difference between the required load reduction and the C.3 load reduction can be used to calculate the required retrofit area. The total area feasibly retrofitted or redeveloped, from a total available area and cost perspective, will be discussed with the City during the kick-off meeting, and a method to identify this total area will be established in the memorandum. This method may include a cost-based analysis along with other data gathering steps. The cost-based analysis method is anticipated to be either qualitative or on a planning level, using rough approximations for cost/acre/year. The methodology for this total area analysis will be discussed during the kick-off meeting and documented in the memorandum. The analyses will be carried out as part of Task 3. Public Retrofit Projects and Regional Projects for MRP Term 2.0 The approach proposed to identify potential regional or public GI retrofit project locations is anticipated to entail a detailed GIS desktop analyses used to identify specific parcels or locations for regional facilities within the City for GI retrofit project opportunities. ACCWP is developing an online GIS Tool that could be used to identify and prioritize opportunities for C.3.j projects. This GIS Tool, if available in time, will be used in combination with any other desktop analyses conducted as part of this task. At the project kick-off meeting, Geosyntec will discuss how to best incorporate this GIS Tool into the analysis or alternatives if the Tool is not available in time for this project. It is anticipated that the GIS analyses will use specific characteristics of parcels to screen for feasible project locations. Parcel data will be obtained from the City or other publicly available sources. Geosyntec will also utilize this approach to evaluate opportunities for installing regional controls (i.e., facilities that treat drainage from multiple parcels), potentially in combination with existing flood control basins, if present. The GI retrofit sites identified as potentially feasible through the GIS analysis can then be analyzed in terms of potential for reduction of POC loads and runoff volume for the area tributary to each potential retrofit location. The evaluation will be based on a hydrologic budget combined with land use-based pollutant loading. Ideal locations are those where GI control measures could be installed that can treat higher pollutant- loading land uses, such as old industrial and old urban, as well as those that can retain and/or treat as much runoff onsite from the target design storm as is feasible using infiltration and evapotranspiration. The approach to identifying public retrofit project sites and regional project sites will be documented in the memorandum produced as part of this Task, and carried out as part of Task 4. Memorandum Based on discussions with the City during the kick-off meeting, Geosyntec will document the proposed approach to conducting the two main analyses identified (i.e. calculating total area targets, and identifying public GI retrofit and regional project locations) in a technical memorandum. The memorandum will be provided to the City in draft form for review, and a conference call will be set following City review to discuss any major questions or revisions the City may have. This memorandum will also be revised as needed and incorporated into the final Project Documentation as part of Task 6. The memorandum will serve to guide the analyses conducted as part of Tasks 3 and 4. Data Needs An initial data needs document will be sent to the City as an attachment to the draft Memorandum. The initial data needs will be based on the discussions with the City and the content in the draft memorandum; however, it will be updated as needed based on comments received from the City and changes incorporated into a final Data Needs request. The GIS files required to conduct the analyses are anticipated to include land use, existing stormwater and flood control infrastructure, parcel ownership, tributary information, and available information regarding site constraints, such as geotechnical hazards, groundwater contamination, underground utilities, or other data. Any of this information contained within the ACCWP GIS Tool provided is not anticipated to be requested from the City. Deliverables: Draft GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum, Initial Data Needs request, Conference Call, Final Data Needs request. Task 3 — Identify Public Impervious Area Targets for Retrofit or Redevelopment Utilizing the data, ACCWP spreadsheet tool, and methodology documented in the GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum, the targets for public impervious surfaces to be retrofitted or redeveloped by 2020, 2030, and 2040, as connected to mercury and PCB load reduction requirements in MRP Provisions C.11 and C.12 will be calculated. The result of these analyses are anticipated to provide an estimation of the total area needed to be retrofit or redeveloped as well as the total area feasibly retrofit or redeveloped by the target dates. The area targets will be summarized in a table and planning level map and shared with the City. Deliverables: Target area calculation result table, planning level map. Task 4— Identify Retrofit Projects and Regional Projects Utilizing the methodology summarized in the GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum, ACCWP GIS Tool (if available), and data provided by the City, public and private GI retrofit projects and potential regional project locations will be identified. Prior to initiating the analyses and/or as part of Task 3, Geosyntec will work with the City to identify existing, planned, or potential GI projects that should be included in the prioritization analysis. These identified parcels or regional facility locations will then be prioritized based on their implementation feasibility and load reduction potential, utilizing the approach documented in the GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum. Ideal locations are those where GI BMPs could be installed that can retain and/or treat as much runoff onsite from the target design storm as is feasible using infiltration and evapotranspiration. GI BMPs should also target areas that are comprised of higher pollutant-loading land uses, such as industrial, commercial or transportation land uses. To examine load reduction potential, the methodology described in the GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum will be used along with the ACCWP GIS Tool (if available). It is anticipated that this analyses will include an estimation of the hydrologic volume potentially captured by the proposed site (using available tributary area data) along with the potential pollutant load from adjacent land-uses. Geosyntec's preliminary analysis of land use data shows that there are less than 9.8 acres of Old Industrial land uses within the City; however, there are approximately 2,058 acres of Old Urban land uses. Geosyntec will also examine locations where opportunistic retrofits could be implemented which may not meet the target design storm volume (due to site conditions/constraints), as allowed by the Draft Framework for GI Plan Development, but could result in some hydrologic or water quality benefits. The results of the prioritized analysis will be delivered to the City in a list of potentially feasible GI project sites, as well as a planning-level map of project locations. The map will indicate the identified site locations, the volume that could be captured based on the hydrologic calculations conducted using available data, the land use types draining to the site locations, and a baseline estimate of load tributary to the sites. Following delivery, the sites will be discussed with the City to eliminate any sites that are infeasible. Deliverables: List and map of potential GI project locations, including baseline estimate of tributary load. Task 5 — Cost Analysis and Memorandum Following delivery of the target area calculation list and map, as well as the list and map of potential GI project locations, Geosyntec will schedule an in-person meeting or conference call with the City of Dublin to discuss the best approach for developing a cost estimate for implementing the GI Plan, including O&M of GI projects. At this time, cost data needs will also be discussed and/or delivered to the City. Geosyntec will utilize cost data provided by the City as well as available cost data obtained from other regions that have implemented GI, including extensive data from Los Angeles County Enhanced Watershed Management Plans, to examine costs. Cost data requested from the City to conduct the analysis is anticipated to include construction costs from GI projects that have been implemented, as well as O&M costs or annual budgets, coupled with estimations of hours spent maintaining GI sites. The City cost data will be extrapolated using cost data from other regions to estimate the planning level costs of implementation of GI over MRP Term 2.0, as well as the time ranges from 2020 to 2030, and 2030 to 2040. The cost data will be documented in a short memorandum along with a summary of the calculation approach. Deliverables: In-person cost discussion meeting and data needs; Cost Analysis Memorandum including estimated costs for implementation and description of calculation approach. Task 6 — Modification of Countywide Clean Water Program GI Details for City Standards Geosyntec will also meet with the City to discuss changes to the ACCWP GI Details to meet the City Standards. This meeting could take place at the same time as the cost meeting or could be scheduled as a subsequent conference call. Prior to the meeting, Geosyntec will review applicable City Standards (stormwater standards as well as additional standards identified by the City) which could affect the details. Geosyntec will discuss with the City the changes needed for the details and will utilize CAD to make the changes to the files. Draft CAD detail files will be submitted to the City for review and comment. Based on feedback from the City, Final CAD detail drawings (in CAD and pdf) will be submitted to the City. This task assumes that the City or ACCWP will provide Geosyntec with the original CAD files that will be revised. Deliverables: Meeting or conference call to discuss details; Draft GI Details; Final GI Details. Task 7 — Final Documentation Geosyntec will compile the memoranda, tables, maps, and figures from Tasks 2 through 6 and develop documentation to summarize the project methods and findings. The documentation will be prepared consistent with the format included in the Framework for Green Infrastructure Plan Development (ACCWP, 2016, currently DRAFT) and anticipated planning documents. The documentation developed as part of this scope will be prepared with the intent of being directly utilized in the City's Green Infrastructure Workplan document. Deliverables: Draft documentation summarizing the project methods, findings, and compiled result figures and tables; final documentation summarizing the methods and findings and compiled result figures and tables. Task 8 — Identify Additional Needs for SWRP As part of Task 8, Geosyntec will review plans and reports relevant to the SWRP prepared for and provided by the City. Then, using a comparison table, the work needed to complete the GI Plan will be compared to the water code requirements for the SWRP to understand the additional analyses and SWRP text that will be needed. A summary of the additional needs for the SWRP will be provided to the City of Dublin for discussion. Based on the requirements above, they are anticipated to include but are not limited to: 1. A more comprehensive summary of City watersheds and the water quality priorities for those watershed (in addition to the TMDL POCs); 2. A summary of Plan consistency or integration with GI Plan and MRP Requirements; 3. Identification of projects which could meet multiple benefits (not just reduction of TMDL POCs), including flooding, water supply, and other environmental and community benefits, using input from stakeholders and an expanded GIS analysis; 4. Prioritization of projects based on a multiple benefit approach (not just reduction of TMDL POCs); 5. Expansion on GI Plan-required implementation strategy and schedule to include additional projects; and 6. Expansion on Education and Outreach. An estimate of effort associated with the development of the SWRP will also be developed and provided to the City. Deliverables: Table comparing SWRP requirements to GI Plan requirements; Estimate of additional effort needed to complete SWRP. Task 9 —Analysis of Stormwater Capture Project Feasibility For Task 9, Geosyntec will conduct a desktop analysis to examine the feasibility of implementing stormwater capture projects in the City. These include projects that use stormwater and urban runoff as a water supply either directly via surface storage, or indirectly through groundwater recharge. The approach is anticipated to include an analysis of potential stormwater supply sources, as well as an examination of possible integration of stormwater sources to optimize yield, and a planning level investigation of where and how to transport, treat, and store the captured stormwater. Water storage and/or recharge locations are anticipated to be identified using a GIS-based feasibility analysis. Parameters which affect feasibility may include but are not limited to: drainage; parcel ownership; geotechnical constraints; soils and geology; depth to groundwater; transport feasibility; treatment capability; runoff quantities; environmental considerations; community impacts; aesthetic concerns; and others. Feasibility data will be requested and obtained from the City, the ACCWP Tool, or other publicly available sources discussed with the City. Following receipt of data, Geosyntec will conduct an analysis to identify feasible stormwater capture project locations in GIS. Based on the watershed area and imperviousness obtained from available data, an estimate of the total runoff that could be captured in the identified project locations can be calculated. The identified locations will be displayed in a map format and the methodology used to identify the locations (which will be similar to that developed for Task 4), will be summarized in a memorandum. In addition to a map of locations, Geosyntec will include a section in the memorandum which describes example stormwater capture technology, and identify potential project partners that could design, install, and maintain (if needed) the technology. Deliverables: Map of potential stormwater capture locations; memorandum describing methods, potential stormwater capture technologies, and potential project partners. Task 10 — Project Management and Meetings This task provides the overall management of the project. Immediately upon award of the contract, the Geosyntec PM will develop a Project Administration Plan (PAP) based on discussions with the City. This task will also include conference calls and other communications that Geosyntec has with the City that are not specifically called out in tasks above. These are anticipated to include phone meetings that occur as needed for project coordination or to discuss emerging issues that require prompt attention. Deliverables: Project Management; Client Communication.
