(Presenter: Supervisor Neil Derry, Third District, 387-4843)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
As part of the 2009-10 budget process, the Board of Supervisors established a budget to finance
unbudgeted local needs as identified by the Board throughout the fiscal year. In establishing this
budget, the Board required specific approval of projects identified for this funding. One such
project identified by the Third District involves an allocation to County Fire for the purpose of
contracting with the City of Grand Terrace Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) for
the provision of emergency equipment, medical and safety supplies for their mobile trailer.
CERT teams utilize mobile trailers to implement their training, and in the case of a disaster, to
perform their safety and emergency response functions. CERT members are trained to assist
First Responders and assist in neighborhood preparedness. CERT groups often share trailers
when there is a lack of resources for training or in case of an emergency. Using the training
learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their
neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately
available to help. CERT members are also encouraged to support emergency response agencies
by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.
CERT teams utilize the mobile trailers as a home base of operations in the event of a disaster.
Within the Valley region, one trailer exists to service 5 teams. The City of Loma Linda currently

houses the only CERT trailer. The Grand Terrace CERT group is a very active team and has

this item will provide the Valley region with a valuable asset for disaster preparedness.
The trailer will be utilized by the CERT corps of trained volunteers and emergency response
personnel to aid the City of Grand Terrace and surrounding communities in the event of disasters.
Providing support for this purpose is reflects a key aspect of the County's Mission Statement that
emphasizes providing service that promotes the safety of County residents.

of insurance required is determined by the scope of the contract services.
Without in any way affecting the indemnity herein provided and in addition thereto, CONTRACTOR shall self-insure to
the levels identified herein or shall secure and maintain throughout the Contract the following types of insurance with
limits as shown:
Workers' Compensation/Employer's Liability - A program of Workers' Compensation insurance or a state-

employees or individuals who are defined as "employees" under the Labor Code and the requirement for
Workers' Compensation coverage will be waived by the COUNTY's Risk Manager.
With respect to contractors that are non-profit corporations organized under California or Federal law,
volunteers for such entities are required to be covered by Workers' Compensation insurance. If the

participation in a volunteer insurance program may be substituted.

operations performed by or on behalf of CONTRACTOR providing coverage for both bodily injury and
property damage with a combined single limit of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000), per

the automobile liability policy shall have a combined single limit of two million dollars ($2,000,000) for bodily
injury and property damage per occurrence.
If CONTRACTOR owns no autos, a non-owned auto endorsement to the General Liability policy described
above is acceptable.
Umbrella Liability Insurance—An umbrella (over primary) or excess policy may be used to comply with limits
or other primary coverage requirements. When used, the umbrella policy shall apply to bodily injury/property
damage, personal injury/advertising injury and shall include a "dropdown" provision providing primary
coverage for any liability not covered by the primary policy. The coverage shall also apply to automobile
liability.
Additional Insured — All policies, except for the Workers' Compensation, Errors and Omissions and
Professional Liability policies shall contain endorsements naming COUNTY and its officers, employees,
agents and volunteers as additional insureds with respect to liabilities arising out of the performance of
services hereunder. The additional insured endorsements shall not limit the scope of coverage for COUNTY
to vicarious liability but shall allow coverage for COUNTY to the full extent provided by the policy. Such
additional insured coverage shall be at least as broad as Additional Insured (Form B) endorsement form ISO,
CG 2010.11 85.
Waiver of Subrogation Rights— CONTRACTOR shall require the carriers of required coverages to waive all
rights of subrogation against COUNTY, its officers, employees, agents, volunteers, contractors and

and its employees or agents from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss or claim. CONTRACTOR
hereby waives all rights of subrogation against COUNTY.
Policies Primary and Non-Contributory - All policies required herein are to be primary and non-contributory
with any insurance or self-insurance programs carried or administered by COUNTY.
Severability of Interests — CONTRACTOR agrees to ensure that coverage provided to meet these
requirements is applicable separately to each insured and there will be no cross liability exclusions that
preclude coverage for suits between CONTRACTOR and COUNTY or between COUNTY and any other
insured or additional insured under the policy.

written by insurers authorized to do business in the State of California and with a minimum "Best" Insurance
Guide rating of"A-VII".

$10,000 shall be declared to and approved by Risk Management.
Failure to Procure Coverage— In the event that any policy of insurance required under this contract does not
comply with the requirements, is not procured, or is canceled and not replaced, COUNTY has the right but not
the obligation or duty to cancel the contract or obtain insurance if it deems necessary and any premiums paid
by COUNTY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR or COUNTY payments to CONTRACTOR will be
reduced to pay for COUNTY purchased insurance.
21. PROOF OF COVERAGE
CONTRACTOR shall furnish certificates of insurance to the COUNTY evidencing the insurance coverage, including
endorsements, as required, prior to the commencement of performance of services hereunder, which certificates shall
provide that such insurance shall not be terminated or expire without thirty (30) days written notice to COUNTY, and

shall furnish a copy of the Declaration page for all applicable policies and will provide complete certified copies of the
policies and endorsements immediately upon request.
22. INSURANCE REVIEW
Insurance requirements are subject to periodic review by COUNTY. The COUNTY's Risk Manager, or designee, is
authorized, but not required, to reduce, waive, or suspend any insurance requirements whenever Risk Management
determines that any of the required insurance is not available, is unreasonably priced, or is not needed to protect the
interests of COUNTY. In addition, if Risk Management determines that heretofore unreasonably priced or unavailable
types of insurance coverage or coverage limits become reasonably priced or available, the Risk Manager, or
designee, is authorized, but not required, to change the above insurance requirements, to require additional types of
insurance coverage or higher coverage limits, provided that any such change is reasonable in light of past claims
against COUNTY, inflation, or any other item reasonably related to the COUNTY's risk.
Any change requiring additional types of insurance coverage or higher coverage limits must be made by amendment
to this contract. CONTRACTOR agrees to execute any such amendment within thirty(30)days of receipt.
Any failure, actual or alleged, on the part of COUNTY to monitor or enforce compliance with any of the insurance and
indemnification requirements will not be deemed as a waiver of any rights on part of COUNTY.
23. ELECTRONIC FUNDS

the CONTRACTOR's designated checking or other bank account. CONTRACTOR shall promptly comply with
directions and accurately complete forms provided by COUNTY required to process EFT payments.

fees and costs regardless of who prevails in the outcome of the dispute.
