Exhibit A
Citywide Park, Open Space and Trail Assessment District or Special Tax
A. Coordination of the Assessment and Special Tax Process
• To address the City's needs, we propose to initiate the project by conducting an "ail
hands" kickoff meeting with City staff to discuss in detail the overall, approach to the
project; communication strategies; each team member's responsibilities; and the key
dates and milestones for the project. This meeting should include all staff that will be
directly involved in the various tasks associated with this project, including the City
Manager, City Clerk and City Attorney.
• Willdan will be responsible for monitoring and keeping the project on task to meet the
agreed -upon project timeline milestones.
• Wilidan will provide our expertise and review of documentation required for implementing
the assessments/special tax. Willdan will also assist in the preparation and review of
staff reports and other Council documents that may be required throughout the process.
B. Development of Financing Mechanism
Task B.1: Prepare Updated Property and Ownership Information i
Using the base electronic parcel information, assessment data and zone strUcture'deveioped in
the previous feasibility study, Willdanwill update the parcel database with the County
Assessor's Office secured roll data currently available (July 2012) to identify any parcel
discrepancies. Furthermore, we will incorporate updated property changes, as well as
ownership and mailing information into the database. This information will be enhanced through
parcel research and specific information provided by both the City and County. This data will
then be incorporated into our model to update and fully'ideNeltip`tFie "e' KordP'Viite`method of
apportionment and assessments for each parcel, as well as the tax rate options. If requested,
we will provide the City with a final copy of this database.
Task B.2: r Prepare Improvement Matrix and Zone Structure
Wilidpnwill woricvuith tFe Ctty to update and fully develop the list of improvements and facilities
to be inoprporated.into aproposedss�ssment district (partially developed as part of the
original feasibility study) and.based on those, improvements (both existing and proposed) review
and update as necessary the previously developed district zone structure:, While we do not
anticipate significant changes to the improvements and zones identified. in;the original feasibility
study, in order to ensure the proposed district and assessments are consistent with the special
and general benefit requirements of the Constitution and current case law, a detailed review and
evaluation of the improvements, services and zone structure is essential.
Develop the Budaet
Utilizing the parcel data, revenue objectives, and improvement budgets developed'during this
feasibility study, and the findings of previous tasks, Wilidan will work with City staff to identify
and incorporate an accurate full cost recovery estimate for the improvements (including energy
and maintenance costs; foreseeable capital projects; and long-term replacement and
Exhibit A
rehabilitation costs). Recognizing that there is inherently some general benefit associated with
park and recreational improvements, for the proposed assessment we will work with the City to
clearly identify and separate those improvements and/or costs that are considered general
benefit and those costs that may be assessed as special benefits. Also recognizing that the
level of property owner support for a tax/assessment is contingent upon the proposed amount,
we will work with City staff to identify key budget elements that foster the greatest support,
thereby creating a more targeted tax/assessment and ultimately the amount of revenue to be
generated.
Formulate Assessments
Based on the findings and discussions of the previous tasks, Willdan will develop a proposed
district structure (zones of benefit), the cost allocation of budgeted improvements within those
zones, the method of apportionment to be applied based on proportional special benefits, and
the proposed assessments. As part of this process however, due to the timing and need for
public input we anticipate formulating two possible assessment scenarios (assessment models);
an initial model and estimated assessments based on full cost recovery and a second more
modest baseline model with limited capital improvement and rehabilitation funding. These two
options may be used as a guide to gauge property owner support for possible assessments and
level of service in a future property, owner survey.
Formulate Tax Rate and Method
Work with the City to formulate special tax revenue goal and rate structures based on estimated
revenue requirements to provide the proposed improvements and facilities to be funded.
Recognizing that the level of support for a special tax is impacted by the proposed amount, in
addition to developing a full cost recovery budget, we will work with City staff to identify the key
elements of the budget that foster the greatest support, thereby creating a more targeted special
tax measure and revenue objectives.
Task B.3: Prepare Summary Memorandum
Prepare a Summary Memorandum of the proposed special tax rate and assessment options.
This document will outline and summarize the proposed as'sessrnent aiid speciaftaic revenues
by land use classification at the various assessmentitax"rate'levels.•Tfii§ memorandum will
serve as a key tool in formulating the public outreach efforts (particularly the survey) to gauge
the level of support. Ultimately, this memorandum and the results of the survey will be the
guiding tools for drafting the special tax measure and ordinance or the Engineer's Report for the
assessments (as applicable).
Task B.4: City Council Presentation
Once finalized with City staff, Wilidan will attend and present as needed the Summary
Memorandum to City Council for discussion and direction for the next steps in the process.
Exhibit A -
Assessment Engineering Services — Possible Formation of a Landscape
Maintenance District for Several North La Quinta Subdivisions
Preliminary Assessment Evaluation
Task 1: Project Kickoff Meeting
Objective: Discuss the overall project approach and schedule; and identify documents or
Information that the City will need to provide regarding the project area.
Description: We propose to initiate the project by attending a project kickoff meeting at City
Hail to discuss the various elements of the project and develop the overall
strategy and course of action. The discussion will include City staff members that
may be directly involved in providing Information or input for the various project
tasks. This meeting will likely include specific. discussions of the City's goals and
priorities; legal or political considerations; budget information and process;
availability and access to pertinent documentation; budget considerations; as
well as any specific issues or special circumstances associated with the
maintenance. The project schedule will also be discussed and critical events
identified.
Meetings: One (1) kick-off meeting with City staff at City Hall. This meeting can also be
conducted by conference call.
Deliverables: Based on this discussion, the project schedule will be developed and provided to
the City.
Task 2: Establish Comprehensive District Database
Objective: Prepare a database containing all parcels within the proposed project area that
will be used for the benefit analysis and budget modeling, and eventually the
proposed assessments.
Description: Using base electronld parcel information available to Wilidan for the
developments. identified by the City for inclusion, we will update the data to
include key parcel. "information necessary for implementing the proposed
assessments and balloting through available resources; including the County
Secured Roll, City data and third -party data, such as CD -data: Eventually this
database will contain updated apportionment fields and assessment data
relevant to the development of the method of apportionment and assessments,
as well as ownership and mailing information, for the possible formation of a
landscaping and lighting district to address this area's particular improvements.
Meetings: None.
Exhibit A
Deliverables: None at this time. Summaries and specific elements of this task will be.
incorporated into the preliminary assessment memorandum, and ultimately the
Engineers Report, assessment roll and ballots.
Task 3: Establish Comprehensive Improvement Matrix and Budgets
Objective: Work with City staff to update and clarify the improvements and services
associated with the specific subdivisions within the north area of La Quinta.
Based on this improvement matrix prepare a comprehensive annual budget to
achieve maximum cost -to -benefit equity for each property and ensure the long-
term financial stability of the improvements and services.
Description: In cooperation with City staff, identify and quantify the improvements and prepare
appropriate annual budgets for the maintenance and servicing of these
improvements. The budgets will be developed utilizing the City's current budget
information and Willdan's budget modeling software that utilizes standard per unit
costs for calculating annual maintenance expenses associated with the
improvements. The development of the budgets will incorporate: specific cost
estimates provided by the City; estimates of periodic maintenance expenditures;
long-term repair and rehabilitation costs; applicable capital improvement
expenditures that may be necessary; administration expenses; and any other
funding deemed appropriate to provide the improvements.
The proposed budgets prepared during this task should be comprehensive and
identify the full long-term cost of providing the improvements, including
appropriate reserve funding. In addition, the budgets will also identify costs
considered to be general benefit, available funding from other sources, and
funding needs that may not be currently identified or funded. The goal of these
budgets is to accurately depict the true funding requirements to provide the
improvements/maintenance and possible assessment options.
Meetings: None. It is anticipated that the City's assistance and input for this task will be
provided through conference calls and e-mails:
Deliverables: Updated budget information will be presented in a summary format for the City's
review and comment.
Task 4: Develop Proposed Assessments
Objective: Develop the assessment methodology and cost allocation for special benefits.
Identify key issues applicable to supporting the special benefit nexus.
Description: Based on previous tasks, Willdan will recommend a proposed district structure
(zones of benefit, if any), the cost allocation of the budgeted improvements, the
method of apportionment to be applied based on proportional special benefits,
and ultimately the proposed assessments. Based on conversations with City staff
as part of this process to finalize assessments, we anticipate adjustments based
Exhibit A
on public input (workshop). Willdan will formulate two -assessment scenarios
(assessment models): an initial model and estimated assessments based on the
City's estimated budget and funding needs, which can be used to gauge property
owner support for a full cost recovery assessment amount; and eventually an
alternate assessment scenario that incorporates input from property owners. As
a working tool for the City, once the initial assessment model has been
completed, Willdan will prepare and distribute a preliminary assessment
memorandum. This document will outline. and summarize the proposed
assessment rates and assessment revenues based on an estimate for the full
cost recovery budget. Furthermore, it will serve as a tool for discussion with City
Council and to formulate public outreach efforts to gauge the level of support for
the proposed assessment. Ultimately,.the district structure, budget, method of
apportionment, and assessments that are finalized with City staff after the
property owner workshop, will be incorporated into the Engineer's Report:
Meetings: None (See Task 5).
Deliverables: Draft a preliminary assessment memorandum outlining findings,
recommendations and conclusions from our review and analysis. This memo will
outline the boundaries of the proposed new district and zones of benefit (if any),
as well as the budget(s) and assessment rates. As warranted, a brief description
will also be included outlining any revisions to the improvements, deemed
necessary to support the special benefit nexus for the proposed assessments.
This memo will include diagrams, tables and other relevant information to support
the findings and recommendation provided, as needed.
Task 5: Discuss Findings and Recommendations
Objective: Schedule a conference call with City staff to discuss the findings and
recommendations identified in the memo and discuss next steps.
Description: We propose a conference call with key City staff to discuss the previous findings
and recommendations for the proposed assessments. During this discussion, we
will also finalize the memo for presentation to City Council.
Meetings: One (1) conference call to discuss the findings and recommendations outlined in
the report. Attend one (1) City Council Meeting to present the technical
memorandum and discuss/determine next steps.
Deliverables: Final preliminary assessment memorandum.

BLANKET ADDITIONAL INSURED - WRITTEN
CONTRACTS (ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS AND
SURVEYORS)
This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:
COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY COVERAGE PART
1, The following is added to SECTION II - WHO IS
AN INSURED:
Any person or organization that you agree in a
"written contract requiring insurance" to include as
an additional insured on this Coverage Part. but:
a. Only with respect to liability for "bodily injury",
"property damage" or "personal injury"; and
b. If, and only to the extent that, the injury or
damage is caused by acts or omissions of
you or your subcontractor in the performance
of "your work" to which the "written contract
requiring °nsurance" applies. The person or
organization does not qualify as an additional
insured with respect to the independent acts
or omissions of such person or organization.
The insurance provided to such additional insured
is limited as follows:
C.
d.
e.
In the event that the Limits of Insurance of
this Coverage Part shown in the Declarations
exceed the limits of liability required by the
"written contract requiring insurance', the in-
surance provided to the additional insured
shall be limited to the limits of liability required
by that "written contract requiring insurance".
This endorsement shall not increase the limits
of insurance described in Section III - Limits
Of Insurance.
This insurance does not apply to the render-
ing of or failure to render any "professional
services' or construction management errors
or omissions.
This insurance does not apply to "bodily in-
jury" or "property damage" caused by "your
work" and included in the "products -
completed operations hazard" unless the
"written contract requiring insurance" specifi-
cally requires you to provide such coverage
for that additional insured, and then the insur-
ance provided to the additional insured ap-
plies only to such "bodily injury" or "property
damage" that occurs before the end of the pe-
riod of time for which the "written contract re-
quiring insurance" requires you to provide
such coverage or the end of the policy period,
whichever is earlier.
2. The following is added to Paragraph 4.a. of SEC-
TION IV - COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY
CONDITIONS.
The insurance provided to the additional insured
is excess over any valid and collectible "other in-
surance", whether primary, excess, contingent or
on any other basis, that is available to the addi-
tional insured for a loss we cover. However, if you
specifically agree in the "written contract requiring
insurance" that this insurance provided to the ad-
ditional insured under this Coverage Part must
apply on a primary basis or a primary and non-
contributory basis. this insurance is primary to
"other insurance" available to 'he additional in-
sured which covers that person or organization as
a named insured for such loss, and we will not
share with that "other insurance' But this insur-
ance provided to the additional Insured still is ex-
cess over any valid and collectible "other insur-
ance", whether primary, excess, contingent or on
any other basis, that is available to the additional
insured when that person or organization is an
additional insured under any "other insurance".
3. The following is added to SECTION IV - COM-
MERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY CONDITIONS:
Duties Of An Additional Insured
As a condition of coverage prov;ded to the addi-
tional insured:
a. The additional insured must give us written

or offense took place;
Ill. The names and addresses of any injured
persons and witnesses; and

b. If a claim is made or "suit" is brought against
the additional insured, the additional insured
must:
I. Immediately record the specifics of the

receive written notice of the claim or "suit" as
soon as practicable.
c. The additional insured must immediately send
us copies of all legal papers received in con-
nection with the claim or "suit", cooperate with
us in the investigation or settlement of the
claim or defense against the "suit", and oth-
erwise comply with all policy conditions.
d. The additional insured must tender the de-
fense and indemnity of any claim or "suit" to
any provider of other Insurance which would
cover the additional insured for a loss we
cover. However, this condition does not affect
whether this insurance provided to the addi-
tional insured is primary to that other insur-
ance available to the additional insured which
covers that person or organization as a
named insured.
4. The following is added to the DEFINITIONS Sec-
tion:
"Written contract requiring insurance" means that
part of any written contract or agreement under

ganization as an additional insured on this Cover-
age Part, provided that the "bodily injury" and
"property damage" occurs and the "personal In-
jury" is caused by an offense committed:
