ATTACHMENTS:
Attachment 1: Background
Attachment 2: Contract
National City Website Upgrade
Background
In 2016, the City of National City executed a five-year contract with Vision
Internet to upgrade and host its website and VisionLive Content Management System
(Application used to edit and create webpages). The upgrade provided the City of
National City with improved website capabilities which facilitated more efficient
interaction with the public and management of website content.
In 2018 Vision Internet was acquired by Granicus, LLC. The VisionLive Content
Management System was integrated into the Granicus GovAccess Platform. The
integration allowed the content management system to maintain the same "look and
feel". This is critical after any upgrade because it mitigates the amount of time needed
to learn a new system to manage the website.
The proposed upgrade will implement the Innovator option of the Granicus
GovAccess Platform. This will provide a modernized web architecture that meets the
interactive and adaptability requirements of modern mobile devices and applications
used by the public to access City services and information via the web.
Costs

upgrade option, annual licensing and support for five years.

The CONSULTANT agrees that the CITY may use, reuse, alter, reproduce,
modify, assign, transfer, or in any other way, medium, or method utilize the CONSULTANT'S
written work product for the CITY'S purposes, and the CONSULTANT expressly waives and
disclaims any residual rights granted to it by Civil Code Sections 980 through 989 relating to
intellectual property and artistic works.
Any modification or reuse by the CITY of documents, drawings, or specifications
prepared by the CONSULTANT shall relieve the CONSULTANT from liability under Section
14, but only with respect to the effect of the modification or reuse by the CITY, or for any
liability to the CITY should the documents be used by the CITY for some project other than

mutually agreed.
8. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Both parties hereto in the performance of
this Agreement will be acting in an independent capacity and not as agents, employees, partners,
or joint venturers with one another. Neither the CONSULTANT nor the CONSULTANT'S
employees are employees of the CITY, and are not entitled to any of the rights, benefits, or
privileges of the CITY' S employees, including but not limited to retirement, medical, unemploy-
ment, or workers' compensation insurance.
This Agreementcontemplates the personal services of the CONSULTANT and
the CONSULTANT'S employees, and it is recognized by the parties that a substantial
inducement to the CITY for entering into this Agreement was, and is, the professional reputation
and competence of the CONSULTANT and its employees. Neither this Agreement, nor any
interest herein, may be assigned by the CONSULTANT without the prior written consent of the
CITY. Nothing herein contained is intended to prevent the CONSULTANT from employing or
hiring as many employees, or SUBCONSULTANTS, as the CONSULTANT may deem
necessary for the proper and efficient performance of this Agreement. All agreements by
CONSULTANT with its SUBCONSULTANT(S) shall require the SUBCONSULTANT(S) to
adhere to the applicable terms of this Agreement.
9. CONTROL. Neither the CITY, nor its officers, agents, or employees shall have
any control over the conduct of the CONSULTANT or any of the CONSULTANT'S employees,
except as set forth in this Agreement. The CONSULTANT, or the CONSULTANT'S agents,
servants, or employees are not in any manner agents, servants, or employees of the CITY. The
CONSULTANT and its agents, servants, and employees are wholly independent from the CITY
and CONSULTANT'S obligations to the CITY are solely prescribed by this Agreement.
10. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. The CONSULTANT, in the
performance of the services to be provided herein, shall comply with all applicable state and
federal statutes and regulations, and all applicable ordinances, rules, and regulations of the City
of National City, whether now in force or subsequently enacted. The CONSULTANT and each
of its SUBCONSULTANT(S), shall obtain and maintain a current City of National City business
license prior to and during performance of any work pursuant to this Agreement.
11. LICENSES, PERMITS, ETC. The CONSULTANT represents and covenants
that it has all licenses, permits, qualifications, and approvals of whatever nature that are legally
required to practice its profession. CONSULTANT must promptly produce a copy of any such
license, permit, or approval to CITY upon request. The CONSULTANT represents and

Revised May 2019 Granicus, LLC
DocuSign Envelope ID: 65AD955A-CBOB-4C04-A52C-DF9884FE87AA
covenants that the CONSULTANT shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect at all times
during the term of this Agreement, any license, permit, or approval which is legally required for
the CONSULTANT to practice its profession.
12. STANDARD OF CARE.
A. The CONSULTANT, in performing any services under this Agreement,
shall perform in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by
members of the CONSULTANT'S trade or profession currently practicing under similar
conditions and in similar locations. The CONSULTANT shall take all special precautions
necessary to protect the CONSULTANT'S employees and members of the public from risk of
harm arising out of the nature of the work and/or the conditions of the work site.
B. Unless disclosed in writing prior to the date of this Agreement, the
CONSULTANT warrants to the CITY that it is not now, nor has it for the five (5) years
preceding, been debarred by a governmental agency or involved in debarment, arbitration or
litigation proceedings concerning the CONSULTANT'S professional performance or the
furnishing of materials or services relating thereto.
C. The CONSULTANT is responsible for identifying any unique products,
treatments, processes or materials whose availability is critical to the success of the project the
CONSULTANT has been retained to perform, within the time requirements of the CITY, or,
when no time is specified, then within a commercially reasonable time. Accordingly, unless the
CONSULTANT has notified the CITY otherwise, the CONSULTANT warrants that all
products, materials, processes or treatments identified in the project documents prepared for the
CITY are reasonably commercially available. Any failure by the CONSULTANT to use due
diligence under this sub -section will render the CONSULTANT liable to the CITY for any
increased costs that result from the CITY'S later inability to obtain the specified items or any
reasonable substitute within a price range that allows for project completion in the time frame
specified or, when not specified, then within a commercially reasonable time.
13. NON-DISCRIMINATION PROVISIONS. The CONSULTANT shall not
discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of age, race, color,
ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, physical handicap, or
medical condition. The CONSULTANT will take positive action to insure that applicants are
employed without regard to their age, race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
marital status, national origin, physical handicap, or medical condition. Such action shall include
but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or
recruitment advertising, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and
selection for training, including apprenticeship. The CONSULTANT agrees to post in
conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment any notices provided
by the CITY setting forth the provisions of this non-discrimination clause.
14. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The CITY may from time to time
communicate to the CONSULTANT certain confidential information to enable the
CONSULTANT to effectively perform the services to be provided herein. The CONSULTANT
shall treat all such information as confidential and shall not disclose any part thereof without the
prior written consent of the CITY. The CONSULTANT shall limit the use and circulation of
such information, even within its own organization, to the extent necessary to perform the
services to be provided herein. The foregoing obligation of this Section 14, however, shall not

apply to any part of the information that (i) has been disclosed in publicly available sources of

available sources of information; (iii) is already in the possession of the CONSULTANT without

conclusions or other results of the services or the existence of the subject matter of this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the CITY. In its performance hereunder, the
CONSULTANT shall comply with all legal obligations it may now or hereafter have respecting
the information or other property of any other person, firm or corporation.
CONSULTANT shall be liable to CITY for any damages caused by breach of this
condition, pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.

provided by law, The CONSULTANT agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City of

claims, demands, suits, actions, proceedings, reasonable attorneys' fees, and defense costs, of
any kind or nature, including workers' compensation claims, of or by anyone whomsoever,
resulting directly from the CONSULTANT'S performance or other obligations under this
Agreement; provided, however, that this indemnification and hold harmless shall not include any
claims or liability arising from the established sole negligence or willful misconduct of the
CITY, its agents, officers, employees or volunteers. CITY will cooperate reasonably in the
defense of any action, and CONSULTANT shall employ competent counsel, reasonably
acceptable to the City Attorney.
The indemnity, defense, and hold harmless obligations contained herein shall
survive the termination of this Agreement for any actual omission, act, or negligence under this
Agreement that occurred during the term of this Agreement.
16. EMPLOYEE PAYMENTS AND INDEMNIFICATION.
16.1 PERS Eligibility Indemnification. If CONTRACTOR's employee(s) providing
services under this Agreement claims, or is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or

16.2 Limitation of Liability. The payment made to CONTRACTOR under this
Agreement shall be the full and complete compensation to which CONTRACTOR and

RESOLUTION NO. 2020 —
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY WAIVING
THE BID PROCESS PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.60.260 OF THE NATIONAL CITY
MUNICIPAL CODE AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A FIVE YEAR
AGREEMENT WITH GRANICUS, LLC IN THE TOTAL NOT -TO -EXCEED AMOUNT OF
$112,856.00 TO UPGRADE AND SUPPORT GRANICUS WEBSITE CONTENT
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
WHEREAS, in 2016, the City of National City Executed a Five-year contract with Vison
Internet to upgrade and host its website and VisionLive Content Management System; and
WHEREAS, in 2018 Vision Internet was acquired by Granicus, LLC and the VisionLive
Content Management System was integrated into the Granicus GovAccess Platform; and
WHEREAS, the integration allowed the Content Management System to maintain the
same look and feel, which is critical after any upgrade because it mitigates the amount of time
needed to learn a new system to manage the website; and
WHEREAS, the proposed upgrade will implement the Innovator option of the Granicus
GovAccess Platform that will provide a modernized web architecture that meets the interactive
and adaptability requirements of modern mobile devices and applications used by the public to
access City services and information via the web; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.60.260 of the National City Municipal Code provides that the City
may buy directly from a vendor at a price established through competitive bidding by another
public agency whose procedures have been determined to be in substantial compliance with the
City's procurement procedures, and such a determination has been made in this case, therefore,
it is recommended that the purchase be made without complying with the competitive bidding
procedure set forth in the Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, City staff recommends that the City Council waive the formal bidding
requirements as allowed in the Chapter 2.60.220 (d) of the Municipal Code and award the contract
to Granicus, LLC to upgrade the website and Content Management System.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of National City
hereby waives the bid process pursuant to section 2.60.260 of the National City Municipal Code
and authorizes the Mayor to execute a five (5) year Agreement with Granicus, LLC in the total
