INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Services and Safety Committee
FROM: Chief of Police Eric Dreyer
CC: Mayor Allan Ekberg
DATE: July 18th, 2023
SUBJECT: Amendment to contract with NOVOAGLOBAL, Inc. regarding automated
traffic cameras
ISSUE
The Police Department is seeking Council approval to authorize the Mayor to sign an amended
contract with NOVOAGLOBAL, Inc. to allow for the inclusion of additional automated traffic
cameras.
BACKGROUND
At the December 12th, 2022, Council of the Whole meeting, the Council authorized the addition
of automatic traffic safety cameras in public park speed zones. At that time, we understood the
contract with NOVOAGLOBAL to be inclusive of being able to add automated cameras without
modifying the contract. However, the contract was specific to school zone cameras. Therefore,
an amendment to the existing contract and authorization for the mayor to sign the amended
contract is required.
DISCUSSION
The contract amendments include changing the following specific language:
• "WHEREAS, the city desires to use Systems to monitor and enforce school zone speed
violations in accordance with applicable laws and ordinances" to "WHEREAS, the city
desires to use the Systems to monitor and enforce violations in accordance with
applicable laws and ordinances."
• Updating the term of the agreement to five years from signing with two subsequent auto
renewals. (refer to the agreement attached.)
• Clarifying language in Exhibit D of the initial agreement: "Pricing for NG Safety Systems
relating to fixed speed photo enforcement shall be as follows:" to "Pricing for NG Safety
Systems relating to photo enforcement shall be as follows:" (This does not change the
pricing.)
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Mayor signing the amendment does not create a financial impact different than the cost to
run the program and the revenue generated that is already in place, with the exception that the
term of the agreement will continue the program beyond the original pilot program. The City
has the option at any time to provide a 30 -day notice to NOVOAGLOBAL to discontinue the
agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
Request that the Committee authorize the Mayor to sign the amendment to the agreement with
NOVOAGLOBAL, and forward to the Committee of the Whole on August 14th, and then to the
Regular Council meeting on August 21St, 2023.

5.1. Monthly Fees (pro -rated for any partial month) as described in Exhibit D
(Compensation & Pricing) in arrears with respect to each approach at which a
System has been installed. Such payment shall commence on the first business day
of the month following Commencement of Operations of each System and shall

shall mean the first full day that the System captures events for processing and
issuance of notices of violation.

the City in compliance with Washington State Law.
5.3. In the event that the United States Postal Service increases applicable First Class
Mail and/or Certified Mail postage, NG may invoice the City for the increased
postage actually paid by NG in connection with this Agreement. For example, if
{KZS2229149.DOCX;1/13175.000001/ }
8
First Class Mail postage were increased by $0.02, and NG mailed 1,000 notices,
NG would invoice the City $20.00.
5.4. Payment of all fees and other charges owed pursuant to this Agreement is due as

5.5. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if amounts due to NG
pursuant to Section 5.1 in any month during the Term plus any amounts due to NG
pursuant to this Section 5.5 ("Monthly Photo Enforcement Fees") exceed the
revenue generated by operation of the Systems and actually received by the City
during that same month ("Monthly Photo Enforcement Revenue") then the City
shall pay to NG for such month only the amount of Monthly Photo Enforcement
Revenue. In such case, the difference between Monthly Photo Enforcement Fees
and Monthly Photo Enforcement Revenue (a "Payment Shortfall") shall be
accumulated and added to the Monthly Photo Enforcement Fees for the following
month. Payment Shortfalls, if any, shall accumulate from month-to-month until
paid in full, provided that under no circumstances shall the City ever be required to
make a payment of Monthly Photo Enforcement Fees to NG except from Monthly
Photo Enforcement Revenue. At the final expiration of this Agreement (last day of
validity of the agreement including any extensions) any accumulated Payment
Shortfalls shall be forfeited.
6. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CITY
6.1. The City shall provide NG with any "as built" drawings in electronic format that
are available at no cost to the City and shall consider for approval NG' s engineering
drawings.
6.2. The City shall not levy any fees. However, if municipal ordinance requires the
assessment of fees by the City, said assessment shall be limited to permit fees as
required by the City's Municipal code. The City does not control fees for Public
Utilities or electrical permits for service. Levy of those fees for permits regarding
electrical service are outside the scope of this contract.
6.3. The City shall diligently prosecute infractions in court at its own expense. NG shall,
at its own expense, participate in any proceeding challenging the use of the System,
the validity of the System's results, and/or use of the U.S. Mail to deliver an
infraction notice.
{KZS2229149.DOCX;1/13175.000001/ }
6.4. The City will cooperate with NG in obtaining electrical connections at the roadside
and NG shall pay all costs associated with such connection and shall pay for all
power required by the System.
6.5. To allow for proper operation of the System, when known to the City, the City shall
provide NG with advance written notice of any modifications proposed to roadways
after installation of a System. In the event any such roadway modification requires
a material change to the System, the City shall pay the costs reasonably incurred by
NG to adapt the affected video monitoring system(s) or fixed speed enforcement
unit(s) to make such video monitoring system(s) or fixed speed enforcement unit(s)
compatible therewith. Notwithstanding the above, NG makes no guarantee that it
will be able to make any such adaptation. In the event that NG is unable to adapt
the affected System, then both parties shall be relieved of any further obligations
under this Agreement with respect only to the affected System.
6.6. During the Term, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement the City shall
not use the System, or allow the System's use by a third party, without the prior
written permission of NG.
7. LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION ON DAMAGES
7.1. NG warrants that the System's functionality will conform in all material respects to
the description of the System set forth on Exhibit A.
7.2. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN, NG HEREBY
DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND
SYSTEM, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON -INFRINGEMENT, NON-INTERFERENCE
WITH ENJOYMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY
PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED FROM ANY
COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. THE CITY
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN
NO OTHER WARRANTIES HAVE BEEN MADE TO MUNICIPALITY BY OR
ON BEHALF OF NG OR OTHERWISE FORM THE BASIS FOR THE
BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
7.3. The City acknowledges and agrees that:
7.3.1. The Systems may not detect every speeding violation;
7.3.2. Since the System may flag as a violation conduct that is in fact not a
violation, the output of the System will require review, analysis and
{KZS2229149.DOCX;1/13175.000001/ }
10
approval by personnel appropriately qualified and authorized by the City
under applicable law prior to the issuance of any citation;
7.3.3. The System has no control over, and relies on the proper functioning of
equipment provided by entities other than NG;
7.3.4. The proper functioning of the System requires the City's full and complete
compliance with the Systems' operating instructions, which it hereby agrees
to do; and
7.3.5. NG shall not be responsible for the configuration and/or operation of any
intersection traffic light systems and NG shall have no liability or
obligations with respect thereto.
8. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
8.1. NG shall at all times comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations and shall comply with the maintenance procedures and manufacturer's
recommendations for operation of the Systems which affect this Agreement and
shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City against any claims, injuries,
damages, losses, or suits including attorney fees, arising from NG's violation of
any such laws, ordinances and regulations or any claims arising from NG's
performance of this Agreement, including as a result of the negligence,
recklessness, or willful misconduct of NG, its officers and directors, agents,
attorneys, and employees, but excluding any employees or agents of City.
8.2. NG agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City from any and all
claims, damages, injuries, losses, or suits including attorney fees, by a third party
arising from either (a) a finding that the System infringes any validly issued United
States patent or (b) NG's willful misconduct, recklessness, or negligence, provided
that such claim of damages, except for injuries and damages caused by the sole
negligence of the City, which is not attributable to (i) any act or omission set forth
in Section 8.3 or (ii) any third -party software or other third -party products used
with, required for use of, or supplied under their own names with or as part of the
System. If, as a final result of any litigation of which NG is obligated to indemnify,
the use of the System by the City is prevented, in whole or in part, by an injunction,
NG's sole obligation to the City as a result of such injunction shall be, at NG's
option, either to (i) replace such part as has been enjoined, or (ii) procure a license
for NG or the City to use same, or (iii) remove same and terminate this Agreement
at no additional cost to the City.
8.3. Should a court of competent jurisdiction deteiniine that this Agreement is subject
to RCW 4.24.115, then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily
{KZS2229149.DOCX;1 /13175.000001 / }
injury to persons or damages to property caused by or resulting from the concurrent
negligence of the NG and the City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers,
the NG' s liability hereunder shall be only to the extent of the NG' s negligence. It
is further specifically and expressly understood that the indemnification provided
herein constitutes the NG' s waiver of immunity under Industrial Insurance, Title
51 RCW, solely for the purposes of this indemnification. This waiver has been
mutually negotiated by the parties. The provisions of this section shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
8.4. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, NG assumes no
obligation or liability for any claim of damages (including the payment of
reasonable attorneys' fees) by a third party arising from or related to (i) any
modification of the System made by the City, (ii) the sole negligence or willful
misconduct of the City, (iii) the failure to function properly of any hardware,
software or equipment of any kind used by, in or on behalf of the City (other than
that supplied by NG), or (iv) the review and analysis of the System data output by
the City personnel for infraction preparation.
8.5. The rights of the City to seek indemnification under this Section 8 shall be
conditioned upon (i) the City notifying NG promptly upon receipt of the claim or
action for which indemnification is sought and (ii) the City's full cooperation with
NG in the settlement or defense of such claim or action at no cost to the City. The
City agrees not to charge NG for the time of the City's personnel engaged in such
cooperation. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, the City
providing access for, and permission to, NG for the purpose of the replacement of
such part or parts of Systems as NG may deem necessary or desirable. The City
may participate in the defense of any indemnified matter through counsel of its own
choice and at its own expense provided that NG shall remain in, and responsible
for, control of the matter. This Section 8 states the entire liability and obligation
and the exclusive remedy of the City with respect to any actions or claims (i) of
alleged infringement relating to or arising out of the subject matter of this
Agreement or (ii) otherwise the subject of this paragraph.
8.6. NG shall maintain the following minimum scope and limits of insurance:

$1,000,000 each occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate. Commercial
General Liability insurance shall be at least as broad as ISO occurrence form

gap, products -completed operations, independent contractors, personal
injury and advertising injury, and liability assumed under an insured
contract. The City shall be named as an additional insured under NG'S

12
8
Commercial General Liability insurance policy with respect to the work
performed for the City using an additional insured endorsement at least as

notice of any policy cancellation, within two business days of their receipt

maintain the insurance as required shall constitute a material breach of
contract, upon which the City may, after giving five business days' notice
to the Consultant to correct the breach, immediately terminate the contract
{KZS2229149.DOCX;1/13175.000001/ }
or, at its discretion, procure or renew such insurance and pay any and all
premiums in connection therewith, with any sums so expended to be repaid
to the City on demand, or at the sole discretion of the City, offset against

COMPENSATION AND PRICING
MONTHLY FEE
Pricing for NG Safety Systems relating to fixed speed photo enforcement shall be as follows:
• $3,999.00 per system per month, with less than 400 infractions issued by the City per
month.
• $4,900.00 per system per month, with between 400 and 800 infractions issued by the City
per month.
• $5,700.00 per system per month, with more than 800 infractions issued by the City per
month.
NG acknowledges school zone fixed speed photo enforcement systems will only function during
specified times throughout the day and in accordance with City's flashing beacon system, if
available.
Additionally, NG acknowledges that schools often take breaks for more than seven (7) consecutive
calendar days. These school breaks do not constitute a temporary suspension, as defined below.
Consequently, NG shall bill the City monthly fees for all months of the year, but shall reduce the
monthly fees for all School Zone Systems by twenty five percent (25%).
Temporary Suspensions. In the event construction by the City causes a disruption of service under
the Agreement, upon NG' s written request, the term of the Agreement may be extended at the
City's sole discretion. For every two (2) months, (per individual system) of disrupted service the
Agreement can be extended for a one-month period.
COVIDI9. NG acknowledges that these unprecedented times might impact the start date of the
schools. NG will not start enforcing violations and therefore billing until the school reopens or
NG is directed to do so by the City. Any delay in the start date and billing will delay the
Installation Date.
BUSINESS ASSUMPTIONS FOR ALL PRICING OPTIONS
1. Except where a balance remains unpaid due to a deficit in the gross cash received as
described herein, City agrees to pay NG within forty-five (45) days after the invoice is
received. A monthly late fee of 1.5% is payable for amounts remaining unpaid sixty (60)
days from date of invoice or monthly report if such delay is the responsibility of the City.
2. Required Payment Convenience Fees will not be considered to be revenue received and are
the responsibility of the violator.

GOOD HEALTHY FUN Top C Issues ■w�► ■■� Parks
Litter/garbage
• Parks Maintenance crews clean up several tons of garbage from our parks annually
• Installation of new garbage cans which provide for quicker servicing will prevent future overflows
2. Mental Health, Drug Addiction & Homelessness
• Addressing mental health & drug addiction. Encampments and individuals camping overnight in parks and
on trails.
• Increased coordination with Police Department increases services reach to those in need
3. Vandalism/graffiti
• Significant time and resources are devoted to the cleaning of tags and graffiti from Parks property
• Strategic Arts Plan development can lead to better utilization of spaces being tagged and vandalized
4. Parking & Noise
• Rentals in parks and at picnic shelters create noise complaints in the adjacent neighborhoods
• Overnight parking in parks creates security risks
• New gates installed at parks locations will lessen overnight parking and camping
5. Drugs/Alcohol Use
• Drug paraphernalia and litter creates an unsafe environment and discourages park use
• New gates installed at parks locations will lessen opportunities for park drug/alcohol use
