No action is required on your part. Disclosure of Terrorism Premium The premium charge for risk of loss resulting from acts of terrorism(as defined in the Act)under this bond is $_waived_ This amount is reflected in the total premium for this bond. Disclosure of Availability of Coverage for Terrorism Losses As required by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002,we have made available to you coverage for losses resulting from acts of terrorism(as defined in the Act)with terms, amounts,and limitations that do not differ materially as those for losses arising from events other than acts of terrorism. Disclosure of Federal Share of Insurance Company's Terrorism Losses The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 establishes a mechanism by which the United States government will share in insurance company losses resulting from acts of terrorism(as defined in the Act)after a insurance company has paid losses in excess of an annual aggregate deductible. For 2002,the insurance company deductible is 1%of direct earned premium in the prior year; for 2003, 7%of direct earned premium in the prior year;for 2004, 10%of direct earned premium in the prior year; and for 2005,15%of direct earned premium in the prior year. The federal share of an insurance company's losses above its deductible is 90%. In the event the United States government participates in losses,the United States government may direct insurance companies to collect a terrorism surcharge from policyholders. The Act does not currently provide for insurance industry or United States government participation in terrorism losses that exceed$100 billion in any one calendar vena. Definition of Act of Terrorism The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act defines "act of terrorism" as any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in concurrence with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General of the United States: 1. to be an act of terrorism; 2. to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life,property or infrastructure; 3. to have resulted in damage within the United States,or outside of the United States in the case of an air carrier (as defined in section 40102 of title 49, United 17 States Code)or a United States flag vessel(or a vessel based principally in the United States,on which United States income tax is paid and whose insurance coverage is subject to regulation in the United States),or the premises of a United States mission; and 4. to have been committed by an individual or individuals acting on behalf of any foreign person or foreign interest as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion. But,no act shall be certified by the Secretary as an act of terrorism if the act is committed as part of the course of a war declared by Congress(except for workers' compensation)or property and casualty insurance losses resulting from the act, in the aggregate,do not exceed$5,000,000. These disclosures are informational only and do not modify your bond or affect your rights under the bond.

Dutchover & Associates effective April 3, 2006 for the provision of landscape architectural services, (San Ramon) area. (District III) Project No.: Various DATE: April 4, 2006 PAGE: 2 REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND: Since June 25,2005,A.S.Dutchover&Associates has been providing plan review,construction field inspections, grounds and facilities,design services and other consulting services related to landscape architecture primarily in the Tassajara and Dougherty Valley area. The department is experiencing increased need for additional consulting services in the South County area at this time. A.S.Dutchover&Associates' contract will be expiring on June 30, 2006 with very limited funds left to provide landscape architectural services. A Request for Qualification(RFQs)was sent out on December 13,2005 to thirty(30)landscape architectural firms. After reviewing all of the submitted Statements of Qualifications (SOQs), it was determined that two landscape architectural firms were needed to provide consulting services in the South County area. One of the contracts was awarded to A.S.Dutchover&Associates. Since their current contract expires on June 30,2006,A.S.Dutchover& Associates' contract needs to be terminated in order for their new contract to be effective April 4, 2006. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Without Board approval,A.S.Dutchover&Associates will not be able to provide the additional consulting services in the South County area.
