above will be a combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal
injury, and property damage for the policy coverage. Commercial General
Liability policy will be endorsed to name 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 City will be excess thereto. Such endorsement must be reflected on
ISO Form No. CG 20 10 11 85 or 88. Such insurance will be on an "occurrence,"

is terminated ("extended insurance"). Such extended insurance will have the same
coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this
Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by City arising
out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or

equivalent to at least a Rating of"A:Vll."

expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to
CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate.

Subject Update to Analysis for the Equinix Data Center (Environmental Assessment
No. 784)
Dear Ms. Christensen:
Per our conversations, RBF Consulting has provided this letter proposal to conduct further analysis
for the Equinix Data Center(Environmental Assessment No. 784). it is our understanding that the
project applicant is proposing to modify the original approval due to constraints involving
undergrounding electrical lines. Based upon the required modifications, it has been determined that
additional Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance review is warranted as an
Addendum to the previously approved Mitigated Negative Declaration(MND).
The Equinix Data Center project completed the first phase of the project and is seeking to proceed
with the second phase of the project. Problems are occurring related to providing electricity to the
substation that is needed for the second phase of the project. Unfortunately, it has been discovered
that serious constraints in undergrounding the electrical lines from Douglas Street across the property
to the location of the substation due to other agency facilities along with changes in their policies
regarding underground vaults. The City and Edison have concluded that modifications will be
required to the MND to address this issue. The MND accounted for undergrounding of the lines on
the private property.
The proposed changes would at minimum require an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative
Declaration in accordance with the CEQA. RBF proposes to conduct a review of Initial Study topical
areas in order to confirm that the findings of Environmental Assessment No.784 remain applicable to
the Equinix project. The findings will be presented in a Letter Report to City Staff. The letter report
will include an Introduction, Background, the original Project Description, the Modified Description
and environmental review of the modifications. Budgeting for this assignment considers project
review/analysis for key topical issues(i.e.,Aesthetics, Air Quality, Land Use, Global Climate Change,
and Services/Utilities), Letter Report preparation, response to City Staff comments on the initial draft
Letter Report submittal, attendance at a Planning Commission Nearing, an on-site meeting and
coordination.
