CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: Approval of a resolution to award RFP 20-05, to Reed & Associates, Inc.
and Rife and Company Appraisers based on rates provided and availability
for on -call appraisal services as needed through December 31, 2020
RECOMMENDATION:
A resolution to award RFP 20-05, to Reed & Associates, Inc. and Rife and Company Appraisers
based on rates provided and availability for on -call appraisal services as needed through
December 31, 2020.
BACKGROUND:
As part of many of the City's street, drainage, water and sewer projects the City must acquire
right of way and easements in order to construct the improvements. For the City to establish
fair compensation rates for the acquisitions, appraisals are ordered for some of the properties
throughout the project. Typically, when an appraisal is needed, the City Land Agents will
request 3 quotes from local appraisers. After the quotes are received, the lowest quote will be
selected, and a purchase order will be requested. By selecting on -call appraisers, this will allow
the Land Agents to move forward without requesting multiple quotes and will save project time.
DISCUSSION:
An engineering selection committee selected Reed & Associates, Inc. and Rife and Company
Appraisers to be used for on -call appraisal services for street, drainage and utilities projects for
the remainder of 2020.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
Funds for the appraisals have been budgeted in various capital projects with the Sales Tax
Capital Improvements Fund, the Transportation Bond Fund, Drainage Bond Fund and the Water
and Sewer Fund.

I. INSURING AGREEMENTS
(A) The Company will pay on behalf of the Insured all sums in excess of the Deductible amount stated in the
Declarations which the Insured becomes legally obligated to pay as Damages and Claims Expenses
resulting from Claims first made against the Insured during the Policy Period, or Extended Reporting
Period, if applicable, as a result of a Wrongful Act by the Insured, provided that:
(1) such Wrongful Act was committed on or after the Retroactive Date and before the end of the Policy
Period; and
(2) prior to the beginning of the Policy Period, the Insured did not know or could not reasonably have
expected that such Wrongful Act might give rise to a Claim.
As a condition precedent to coverage, the Insured shall report all Claims in writing to the Company as soon
as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after expiration or termination of this Policy, or during
the Extended Reporting Period, if applicable.
(B) The Insured shall not admit or assume liability for any Wrongful Act, or settle any Claim, or incur any
expenses, including Claims Expenses, without the prior written consent of the Company. However, the
Insured must take all reasonable action within its ability to prevent or mitigate any Claim which would be
covered under this Policy. The Company has the right to make such investigation and conduct negotiations
and, with the written consent of the Insured, effect settlement of any Claim as the Company deems
reasonable.
If the Insured refuses to consent to a settlement recommended by the Company and elects to contest or
continue to contest the Claim, the Company's liability shall not exceed the amount for which the Company
would have been liable for Damages and Claims Expenses if the Claim had been so settled when and as so
recommended, and the Company shall have the right to withdraw from the further defense of the Claim by
tendering control of the defense thereof to the Insured. The operation of this paragraph shall be subject to the
Limits of Liability and Deductible provisions of this Policy.

continue the defense of any Claim after the applicable limit of the Company's liability has been exhausted by
payment of Damages and/or Claims Expenses or after deposit of the applicable limit of the Company's
liability with or subject to control of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Company shall deem that a Claim has been made.

or after the Retroactive Date and before the end of the Policy Period in accordance with Section VI.

hereon.
(3) Certificates of Insurance/Notice of Cancellation. At the request of the Named Insured and at the

(n EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD OPTIONS
The following two options are available under this Policy with respect to the purchase of an Extended
Reporting Period:
(1) In case of cancellation or non -renewal of this Policy by either the Named Insured or the Company, for
reasons other than material misrepresentation in the application for this Policy or non-payment of
premium or Deductible, the Named Insured shall have the right as outlined below to purchase an
Extended Reporting Period under this Policy subject to all other terms, conditions, limitations of and
any endorsements to this Policy:
(a) for a period of one year for an additional premium of 100% of the total annual premium;
(b) for a period of two years for an additional premium of 135% of the total annual premium;
(c) for a period of three years for an additional premium of 170% of the total annual premium; or
(d) for a period of five years for an additional premium of 200% of the total annual premium.
The applicable period of the Extended Reporting Period under this Section (1) shall immediately
commence on the effective date of such cancellation or refusal to renew but only with respect to any
Wrongful Act first committed on or after the Retroactive Date and before the date of such cancellation
or non -renewal.
(2) In the case of cancellation or non -renewal of this Policy by the Named Insured due to retirement from
the active rendering of all Professional Services for which the Named Insured has been covered under
the Policy, the Named Insured shall have the right to purchase an unlimited extension of the time for
reporting Claims under this Policy, subject to all other terms, conditions, limitations of and endorsements
to this Policy. The Extended Reporting Period under this Section (2) shall only apply to any Wrongful
Act first committed on or after the Retroactive Date and before the cancellation or failure to renew. The
option is only available if:
(a) the Named Insured was continuously Insured with the Company for at least five (5) consecutive
years; and
(b) the Named Insured has performed Professional Services on a full-time basis for at least twenty
(20) years or is age 65 or older.
The premium for this unlimited Extended Reporting Period shall be 300% of the Company's total
annual premium. However, if the Named Insured:
(a) otherwise qualifies pursuant to the foregoing requirements for the unlimited Extended Reporting
Period due to retirement; and
(b) is the only appraiser of the Named Insured:
(i) at the time of the application for this Policy; and
(ii) prior to his/her retirement from the active rendering of all Professional Services for which the
Named Insured has been covered under the Policy,
Then the Company will waive the premium otherwise stated for this unlimited Extended Reporting
Period.
The following additional terms and conditions apply to either of the Extended Reporting Period options set
forth above:
The offer of renewal terms, conditions, Limits of Liability and/or premiums different from those of this Policy
shall not constitute a cancellation or refusal to renew.
Aspen Specialty Insurance Company Page 10 of 12
LLA,002S (12/14)
The Extended Reporting Period shall terminate on the effective date and hour of any other insurance issued
to the Named Insured or successor to the Named Insured which replaces, in whole or in part, the coverage
afforded by the Extended Reporting Period.
As a condition precedent to the Named Insured's right to purchase the Extended Reporting Period, the full
premium and any Deductible(s) due for this Policy and Policy Period must have been paid.
The Named Insured's right to elect the Extended Reporting Period must be exercised by notice in writing
not later than sixty (60) days following the non -renewal or cancellation date of this Policy, and must include
payment of premium, if any, for the applicable Extended Reporting Period as well as payment of all
premiums and any Deductible(s) due the Company. If such notice is not so given to the Company, the Named
Insured shall not, at a later date be able to exercise such right.
At the commencement of any Extended Reporting Period, the entire premium thereafter shall be deemed
earned and in the event the Named Insured terminates the Extended Reporting Period before its expiration
date, the Company shall not be liable to return to the Named Insured any portion of the premium for the
Extended Reporting Period.
The fact that this Policy may be extended by virtue of an Extended Reporting Period shall not in any way
increase the Limits of Liability as set forth in the Declarations. The Extended Reporting Period shall be
renewable at the sole option of the Company.
(I) OTHER INSURANCE
If any Claim or Wrongful Act noticed to the Company under this Policy is insured by another valid policy or
policies, then this Policy shall apply only in excess of the amount of any deductibles, retentions and limits of
liability under such other policy or policies, whether such other policy or policies are stated to be primary,
contributory, excess, contingent or otherwise, unless such other insurance is written specifically excess of this
Policy by reference in such other policy to the Policy Number indicated on this Policy's Declarations.
(L) SUBROGATION
In the event of any payment under this Policy, the Company shall be subrogated to all of the Insured's rights
of recovery against any person or organization, and the Insured shall execute and deliver instruments and
papers and do whatever else is necessary to secure such rights. The Insured shall do nothing after a Claim is
made to prejudice such rights. The Company hereby waives its subrogation rights against a client of the
Insured to the extent that the Insured had, prior to a Claim, or a Wrongful Act reasonably expected to give
rise to a Claim, entered into a written agreement to waive such rights.
Any amount recovered upon the exercise of such rights of subrogation shall first be applied to the repayment
of expenses incurred by the Company toward subrogation, second toward reimbursement of any payments
made by the Insured pursuant to the Insured's Deductible, and any remaining balance shall be the
Company's.

by written endorsement by an authorized representative of the Company.
(I) REIMBURSEMENT OF THE COMPANY

or within the amount of the applicable Deductible, the Insured shall be liable to the Company for any and all
such amounts and, upon demand, shall pay such amounts to the Company promptly.
(0) ENTIRE CONTRACT

obligations under this Policy.
(S) COMPLIANCE WITH TRADE SANCTIONS
