hereof).

accordance with the following table:
Contract Sum Personal Injury/Property Damage Coverage
Less than $50,000 $100,000 per individual; $300,000 per occurrence

All insurance required by this Section shall be kept in effect during the term of this
Agreement and shall not be cancelable without thirty (30) days written notice to City of
proposed cancellation. The procuring of such insurance or the delivery of policies or
certificates evidencing the same shall not be construed as a limitation of Consultant's
obligation to indemnify City, its officers, employees, contractors, subcontractors, or
agents.
5.2 Indemnification.
a. Indemnification for Professional Liability. When the law establishes a
professional standard of care for Consultant's Services, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, Consultant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless City and any and all of
its officials, employees and agents ("Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all
losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorney's fees and costs to the
extent same are cause in whole or in part by any negligent or wrongful act, error or
omission of Consultant, its officers, agents, employees or subconsultants (or any entity or
individual that Consultant shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of
professional services under this agreement. With respect to the design of public
improvements, the Consultant shall not be liable for any injuries or property damage
resulting from the reuse of the design at a location other than that specified in Exhibit C
without the written consent of the Consultant.
b. Indemnification for Other Than Professional Liability. Other than in the
performance of professional services and to the full extent permitted by law, Consultant
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, and any and all of its employees, officials
and agents from and against any liability (including liability for claims, suits, actions,
arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses,
expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including attorney's
fees and costs, court costs, interest, defense costs, and expert witness fees), where the
same arise our of, are a consequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in
part, the performance of this Agreement by Consultant or by any individual or entity for
which Consultant is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, agents, employees
or subconsultants of Consultant.
C. General Indemnification Provisions. Consultant agrees to obtain executed
indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this section from
each and every subconsultant or any other person or entity involved by, for with or on
behalf of Consultant in the performance of this agreement. In the event Consultant fails to
obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, Consultant agrees to be
fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor
compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in
no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend
City as set forth here is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Consultant and shall
survive the termination of this agreement or this section.
d. Indemnity Provisions for Contracts Related to Construction. Without affecting
the rights of City under any provision of this agreement, Consultant shall not be required to
indemnify and hold harmless City for liability attributable to the active negligence of City,
provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the
findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have
been actively negligent and where City's active negligence accounts for only a percentage
of the liability involved, the obligation of Consultant will be for that entire portion or
percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.
5.3 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies City may have if Consultant fails
to provide or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and
within the time herein required, City may, at its sole option:
a. Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums
for such insurance from any sums due under this Agreement.
b. Order Consultant to stop work under this Agreement and/or withhold any
payment(s) which become due to Consultant hereunder until Consultant
demonstrates compliance with the requirements hereof.
C. Terminate this Agreement.
Exercise of any of the above remedies, however, is an alternative to any other
remedies City may have. The above remedies are not the exclusive remedies for
Consultant's failure to maintain or secure appropriate policies or endorsements. Nothing
herein contained shall be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which Consultant
may be held responsible for payments of damages to persons or property resulting from
Consultant's or its subcontractors' performance of work under this Agreement.
5.4 General Conditions pertaining to provisions of insurance coverage by Consultant.
Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Consultant:
1. Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability
coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees and
agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition prior to 1992.
Consultant also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees, or agents, from waiving the right of
subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation rights against City
regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and
subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or
applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its
operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first
submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to
eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury
to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and
additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not make any
reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of
discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of
certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured
endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to
the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered
as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement
coverage is provided, City has the right , but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it
deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the
premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by
Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at City option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide thirty (30) days notice to
City of any cancellation of coverage. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify
such certificates 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 certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and
on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self insurance
available to City.
10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved
with the project who is 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 City for review.
11. Consultant agrees not to self -insure or to use any self -insured retentions or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will
not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in
any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this
agreement to self -insure its obligations to City, If Consultant's existing coverage includes
a deductible or self -insured retention, the deductible or self -insured retention must be
declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Consultant, which
may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self -insured retention, substitution
of other coverage, or other solutions.
12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to
change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90)
days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to the Consultant, the City will negotiate additional compensation
proportional to the increased benefit to City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be
deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that
can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the
part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no
way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in
this or any other regard.
15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this
agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or terminated
for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written
statement to that effect.
16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein 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. A coverage binder or letter from Consultant's insurance
agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured
endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new
coverage must be provided to City within five (5) days of the expiration of coverages.
17. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Consultant under this agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to use
any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees,
officials and agents.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section
are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor 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.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any
other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as
such.
20. 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 impairs
the provisions of this Section.
21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any
party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Consultant
for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such
provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse
any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no
recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against
Consultant arising out of the work performed under 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.

Officer such reports concerning Consultant's performance of the services required by this
Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require.
6.2 Records. Consultant shall keep such books and records as shall be necessary

principals. 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.
6.3 Ownership of Documents. Originals of all drawings, specifications, reports,
records, documents and other materials, whether in hard copy or electronic form, which
are prepared by Consultant, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance
of this Agreement, shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City upon
termination of this Agreement or upon the earlier request of the Contract Officer, and
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
hereunder. Consultant shall cause all subcontractors to assign to City any documents or
materials prepared by them, and in the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment,
Consultant shall indemnify City for all damages suffered thereby.
In the event City or any person, firm or corporation authorized by City reuses said
documents and materials without written verification or adaptation by Consultant for the
specific purpose intended and causes to be made or makes any changes or alterations in
said documents and materials, City hereby releases, discharges, and exonerates Consultant
from liability resulting from said change. The provisions of this clause shall survive the
completion of this Contract and shall thereafter remain in full force and effect.
6.4 Release of Documents. The drawings, specifications, reports, records,
documents and other materials prepared by Consultant in the performance of services
under this Agreement shall not be released publicly without the prior written approval of

validity and 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

event of such action.
7.2 Disputes. In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement, the injured
party shall notify the injuring party in writing of its contentions by submitting a claim

notice and completes the cure of such default within forty-five (45) days after service of
the notice, or such longer period as may be permitted by the Contract Officer; provided
that if the default is an immediate danger to the health, safety and general welfare, City
may take such immediate action as City deems warranted. Compliance with the provisions
of this section shall be a condition precedent to termination of this Agreement for cause
and to any legal action, and such compliance shall not be a waiver of any party's right to
take legal action in the event that the dispute is not cured, provided that nothing herein
shall limit City's right to terminate this Agreement without cause pursuant to Section 7.8.
7.3 Retention of Funds. City may withhold from any monies payable to Consultant

reasonably believes were suffered by City due to the default of Consultant in the
performance of the services required by this Agreement.
7.4 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of a non
defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a
waiver. City's consent or approval of any act by Consultant requiring City's consent or
approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary City's consent to or approval
of any subsequent act of Consultant. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in
writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other
provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are 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

for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the
Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as

completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated

Exhibit A
Scope of Services
Project
Understanding
The City of La Quinta is seeking a firm to provide Professional Construction
Management services to support Capital Improvement Project Number 2006-10,
the City of La Quinta Museum Expansion.
The Construction Manager (CM) shall serve as the Owner's principal agent in
providing the services described in the RFP. The Owner shall ultimately enter into a
separate contract with one or more Contractors for the construction of the Project.
The CM shall endeavor to maintain, on behalf of the Owner, a working relationship
with the Contractor(s) and Architect/Designer.
It is of greatest importance that the Construction Manager provides the leadership,
planning, team -collaboration and negotiating skills to deliver the project on time and
within the budget. The CM must continuously be anticipating future barriers and
identifying practical solutions to achieve these goals. The City should rely on the
CM to ensure that it avoids any unpleasant "surprises", in particular relative to
disparities between cost estimates, bids, contracts and change orders. Planning
ahead, with a thorough knowledge and commitment to leveraging constructability
issues and value engineering opportunities, will be of critical importance in the
design phase in particular. We will be sure to avoid the City having to experience
the unfortunate, but all too prevalent situation, that owner's experience when bids
are submitted in substantial excess of the planning/construction estimate.
Project
Approach
Outlined below is our approach to successfully fulfilling our obligation as
Construction Manager for the City of La Quinta Museum Expansion project. Our
overall approach to construction management focuses on knowledgeable and
careful attention to planning, review, organizational and control issues.
PW's general mindset is to implement methods and managerial skills to accomplish
the work in a highly collaborative and participatory environment. Open-
mindedness, cooperation, integrity and clarity are values that are emphasized and
instilled by PW throughout the project team.
Recognizing that a number of different entities, many of which are new to one
another, we will place a great deal of emphasis on team and relationship building,
especially in the early stages of the project. A number of specific activities are
described later in this section to get "everyone on the same page" so to speak from
the start. Individual team members are given substantial opportunities to discuss
their specific needs, concerns and ideas. Problem solving and problem avoidance
will be a collaborative team -wide effort (as much as possible) in order to facilitate
synergy and harmonious working relationships by all.
At the same time- and when necessary- PW Construction as Construction Manager
will provide tough-minded leadership and decision -making in order to achieve the
City of La Quinta's goals and expectations.
Our project approach is also heavily reliant on implementing our proven systems,
processes and procedures that are required to run an efficient, well-oiled
construction project. We utilize state-of-the-art management information and
effective project planning software as the technological, logistical, operational and
financial "backbone" for the Museum Expansion project.
The Construction Manager's responsibility for the entire project will be broken into
four sequential phases:
• Design (three months)
• Bidding/Awarding (two months)
• Construction (nine months)
• Close-out (one months)
Specific scope of work and deliverables for each phase are detailed in the following

Phase One:
Design
• Construction Management Plan: The CM shall prepare a Construction
Management Plan for the Project and shall make recommendations to the plan
throughout the duration of the Project as appropriate. In preparing the Construction
Management Plan, the CM shall consider the Owner's schedule, budget and general
design requirements for the Project. The CM shall then develop various alternatives
for the scheduling and management of the Project and shall make recommendations
to the Owner.
• Constructability Review: Perform a complete constructability review of the
project bid documents, specifications, plans and estimates prior to bidding the
project and identify potential problems that need correction before the project is
bid.
• Project and Construction Budget: Based on the Construction Management Plan
the CM shall prepare a Project and Construction Budget based on the separate
divisions of the work required for the Project and shall identify contingencies for
design and construction. The CM shall review the budget with the Owner and
Designer and the CM shall submit the Project and Construction Budget to the
Owner for acceptance. The Project and Construction Budget shall be revised by the
CM as directed by the Owner.
• Preliminary Estimate and Budget Analysis: The CM shall analyze and report to
the Owner and the Designer the estimated cost of various design and construction
alternatives, including CM's assumptions in preparing its analysis, a variance
analysis between budget and preliminary estimate, and recommendations for any
adjustments to the budget.

Designer and others as necessary.
• Review of Design Documents: The CM shall review the design documents and
make recommendations to the Owner and Designer as to constructability,
scheduling and time of construction; as to clarity, consistency, and coordination of
documentation among Contractors; and as to the separation of the Project into
contracts for various categories of the Work.
• Cost Control: The CM shall prepare an estimate of the construction cost for
each submittal of design drawings and specifications from the Designer. This
estimate shall include a contingency acceptable to the Owner, CM and the Designer
