National Utility Locators LLC has an extensive knowledge in contract locating. We work
very close with the 811 call center in order to stay up to date with the latest California
state laws and regulations. We have experience in receiving excavation notices in both
Northern California and Southern California on behalf of city municipalities and private
communication companies.
Using the resources provided to us by our clients, we have developed an in-depth
screening process which includes reviewing work scopes with contractors where the
excavation request may be unclear. Our screening and scheduling process is constantly
being refined in order to stay efficient while protecting our clients' utilities. This
conserves resources while also keeping costs down and providing our clients with the
service they deserve.
Once the contract is executed, National Utility Locators assumes full responsibility for
locating & protecting all City of El Segundo's utility lines under this agreement. This will
cover all agreed upon utilities within the city limits for DigAlert excavation requests. All
City of El Segundo DigAlert tickets will be routed to National Utility Locators' ticket
management system, and screened for potential conflicts. The screening process
includes reviewing all utility maps that have been provided by the City of El Segundo,
calling contractors when necessary to determine the exact work area onsite, and
dispatching technicians accordingly. Once onsite, our technicians will determine what
City of El Segundo utilities may be in conflict with the contractors' excavation activities.
Our technicians will use electro-magnetic transmitters & receivers, ground penetrating
radar equipment (GPR), magnetometers, and traceable Jameson rodders with 512Hz
sondes to locate all City of El Segundo utilities in conflict within the marked -out
excavation area. Our technicians will mark -out all confirmed City of El Segundo utilities
in APWA color coded marking paint & flags. At the conclusion of our subsurface utility
investigation, whether there is conflict or not, our technician will close the ticket with the
proper response, and notifications will be sent to the contractor. Our technicians will
take photos of every job we mobilize to, and those photos will be saved internally. They
will be available to review at the City of El Segundo request.

RFP 23-03
Company Name: National Utility Locators LLC
To be awarded this contract, the successful bidder must procure and maintain the following types
of insurance with coverage limits complying, at a minimum, with the limits set forth below:
Type of Insurance Limits
Commercial general liability: $1,000,000
Business automobile liability: $1,000,000
Workers compensation: Statutory requirement
Commercial general liability insurance must meet or exceed the requirements of ISO-CGL Form
No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88. The amount of insurance set forth above must be a combined single
limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage for the policy coverage.
Liability policies must be endorsed to name the City, its officials, and employees as "additional
insureds" under said insurance coverage and to state that such insurance will be deemed
"primary" such that any other insurance that may be carried by the City will be excess thereto.
Such endorsement must be reflected on ISO Form No. CG 20 10 1185 or 88, or equivalent. Such
insurance must be on an "occurrence," not a "claims made," basis and will not be cancelable or
subject to reduction except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the City.
Insurer will agree in writing to waive all rights of subrogation against the City, its officers, officials,
employees and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by Contractor for the City.
Automobile coverage must be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage Form CA 00 01 06 92,
including symbol 1 (Any Auto).
The Consultant must furnish to the City duly authenticated Certificates of Insurance evidencing
maintenance of the insurance required under this Agreement, endorsements as required herein,
and such other evidence of insurance or copies of policies as may be reasonably required by the
City from time to time. Insurance must be placed with admitted insurers with a current A.M. Best
Company Rating equivalent to at least a Rating of "A:VII." Certificate(s) must reflect that the
insurer will provide thirty (30) day notice of any cancellation of coverage. The Consultant will
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, and to delete the word
"endeavor" with regard to any notice provisions.
The City requires California Worker's Compensation Coverage with the associated Waiver. Out-
of-state coverage will not be accepted in lieu of the California coverage, because the work is being
performed in the State of California.
By signing this form, the bidder certifies that it has read, understands, and will comply with these
insurance requirements if it is selected as the City's consultant. Failure to provide this insurance
will render the bidder's proposal "nonresponsive."

conditions contained in this order which Seller, in accepting this order,
agrees to be bound by and comply with in all particulars. No other terms
or conditions are binding upon the parties unless subsequently agreed to
in writing. Written acceptance or shipment of all or any portion of the
Purchase covered by this order constitutes unqualified acceptance of all
terms and conditions in this order. The terms of any proposal referred to

this order, free from all defects in Seller's performance, design,
workmanship, and materials, and, except as otherwise provided, is
subject to inspection and test by City at all times and places. If, before
final acceptance, any Purchase is found to be incomplete, or not as
specified, City may reject it, require Seller to correct it without charge, or
require delivery of such Purchase at a reduction in price that is equitable
under the circumstances. If seller is unable or refuses to correct such
items within a time deemed reasonable by City, City may terminate the
order in whole or in part. Seller bears all risks as to rejected Purchases
and, in addition to any costs for which Seller may become liable to City
under other provisions of this order, must reimburse City for all
transportation costs, other related costs incurred, or payments to Seller
in accordance with the terms of this order for unaccepted Purchases.
Notwithstanding City's acceptance of any Purchase, Seller is liable for
latent defects, fraud, or such gross mistakes as constitute fraud.
&CHANGES. City may make changes within the general scope of this
order in drawings and specifications for specially manufactured supplies,
place of delivery, method of shipment or packing of the order by giving
notice to Seller and subsequently confirming such changes in writing. If
such changes affect the cost of or the time required for performance of
this order, an equitable adjustment in the price or delivery or both must
be made. No change by Seller is allowed without City's written approval.
Any claim by Seller for an adjustment under this section must be made
in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by Seller of
notification of such change unless City waives this condition in writing.
Nothing in this section excuses Seller from proceeding with performance
of the order as changed.
4. TERMINATION. City may terminate this order at any time, either
verbally or in writing, with or without cause. Should termination occur,
City will pay Seller as full performance until such termination the unit or
pro rata order price for the performed and accepted portion of the
Purchase. City may provide written notice of termination for Seller's
default if Seller refuses or fails to comply with this order. If Seller does
not cure such failure within a reasonable time period, or fails to perform
the Purchase within the time specified (or allowed by extension), Seller
will be liable to City for any excess costs incurred by City.
5.TIME EXTENSION. City may extend the time for completion if, in
City's sole determination, Seller was delayed because of causes beyond
Seller's control and without Seller's fault or negligence. In the event
delay was caused by City, Seller's sole remedy is limited to recovering
money actually and necessarily expended by Seller because of the
delay; there is no right to recover anticipated profit.
&REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. City's rights and remedies under this order
are not exclusive and are in addition to any rights and remedies provided
by law.
7.TITLE. Title to materials and supplies purchased under this order
pass directly from Seller to City upon City's written acceptance following
an actual inspection and City's opportunity to reject.
&PAYMENT. City will pay Seller after receiving acceptable invoices for
materials and supplies delivered and accepted or services rendered and
accepted. City will not pay cartage, shipping, packaging or boxing
expenses unless specified in this order. Drafts will not be honored.
9.INDEMNIFICATION. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold City
harmless from and against any claim, action, damages, costs (including,
without limitation, attorney's fees), injuries, or liability, arising out of the
Purchase or the order, or their performance. Should City be named in
any suit, or should any claim be brought against it by suit or otherwise,
whether the same be groundless or not, arising out of the Purchase or
order, or their performance, Seller will defend City (at City's request and
with counsel satisfactory to City) and indemnify City for any judgment
rendered against it or any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise. For
purposes of this section "City" includes City's officers, elected officials,
and employees. It is expressly understood and agreed that the
foregoing provisions will survive termination of this order. The
requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be
maintained by Seller, and any approval of such insurance by City, are
not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities
and obligations otherwise assumed by Seller pursuant to this order,
including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.
10.WARRANTY. Seller agrees that the Purchase is covered by the
most favorable commercial warranties the Seller gives to any customer
for the same or substantially similar supplies or services, or such other
more favorable warranties as is specified in this order. Warranties will
be effective notwithstanding any inspection or acceptance of the
Purchase by City.
11.ASSIGNMENT. City may assign this order. Except as to any
payment due under this order, Seller may not assign or subcontract the
order without City's written approval. Should City give consent, it will not
relieve Seller from any obligations under this order and any transferee or
subcontractor will be considered Seller's agent.
12.INSURANCE. Seller must provide the insurance indicated on the
face sheet of this Services Agreement.
13.PERMITS. Seller must procure all necessary permits and licenses,
and abide by all federal, state, and local laws, for performing this order.

will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work
and the manner in which is it performed. Seller will be free to contract
for similar service to be performed for other employers while under
contract with City. Seller is not an agent or employee of City and is not
entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar
benefits City provides for its employees. Any provision in this order that
may appear to give City the right to direct Seller as to the details of doing
the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that
Seller will follow the direction of the City as to end results of the work
only.
15.WAIVER. City's review or acceptance of, or payment for, work
product prepared by Seller under this order will not be construed to
operate as a waiver of any rights City may have under this Agreement or
of any cause of action arising from Seller's performance. A waiver by
City of any breach of any term, covenant, or condition contained in this
order will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the
same or any other term, covenant, or condition contained in this order,
whether of the same or different character.
%INTERPRETATION. This Agreement was drafted in, and will be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, and

and such other evidence of insurance or copies of policies as may be reasonably required by the
City from time to time. Insurance must be placed with admitted insurers with a current A.M. Best
Company Rating equivalent to at least a Rating of "A:VII." Certificate(s) must reflect that the
insurer will provide thirty (30) day notice of any cancellation of coverage. The Consultant will
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, and to delete the word
"endeavor" with regard to any notice provisions.
The City requires California Worker's Compensation Coverage with the associated Waiver. Out-
of-state coverage will not be accepted in lieu of the California coverage, because the work is being
performed in the State of California.
By signing this form, the bidder certifies that it has read, understands, and will comply with these
insurance requirements if it is selected as the City's consultant. Failure to provide this insurance
will render the bidder's proposal "nonresponsive."
