RESPONSES POSTED ON APRIL 26, 2013:
Question 1:
Should the proposal be limited to a maximum number of pages?
Response 1:

Can Port employees be used as references?
Response 2:
For this proposal, the Port Attorney requests that firms list references
outside of the Port.

Pursuant to the Port of Oakland Request for Qualifications for Legal
Services (“RFQ”), Section I.A., we are directing to you the following

Log of Responses to Proposer Questions – Page 2 of 6
Question 5: For the “Litigation” practice area, are the Port’s claims insured
through a risk pool (self-insurance) which adhere to billing
guidelines that set a cap for hourly rates? If so, what are they?
Response 5:
The Port maintains various insurance policies covering various types of
risk. There are billing guidelines issued by insurance carriers for some of
the insurance policies, some of which include rate caps. The firms should
list their proposed billing rates.
Question 6: For “Finance/Tax” practice area, could you please describe what
type of finance and tax matters the outside counsel may handle?
Response 6:
Matters in the Finance/Tax practice area include tax exempt bond
financings, letter of credit substitution for the Port’s commercial paper
program and state and local tax law issues that arise from time to time.
Question 7: Our firm represents many public agencies. At times, our clients are
adverse (or potentially adverse) to each other. In these situations,
we conform to the ethical rules of the State Bar. If such a situation
occurs with the Port, what is the Port’s stance on a firm that is able
to address the conflict by obtaining waivers and forming ethical
walls among attorneys within the firm and within the practice area?
Response 7:
Waivers are generally disfavored; however, the Port Attorney will review
each waiver request on a case-by-case basis.
Question 8: Does the Port encourage or discourage a scenario where a firm may
partner with (e.g., by way of joint venture or other contractual
relationship) another sole practitioner and/or a small firm to assist in
handling certain specialized practice areas?
Response 8:
The Port Attorney will consider such a scenario. Please provide the
qualifications of the proposed sole practitioner or small firm you are
proposing to joint venture or contract with and explain why such an
arrangement adds value to the Port or improves the quality of the legal
services you will provide.
Question 9: Is there a set term or length of time for a legal services contract for
any firm selected in response to the RFQ?
Response 9:
Retentions are usually assigned on a matter-specific basis as they arise,
with a term reasonably approximating the time necessary to resolve the
matter, subject to the Port Attorneys’ termination at his discretion with
notice. Please see the form of retention agreement.
Question 10: Insurance Requirements in Section IV, page 6 of RFQ: In Section IV,
the RFQ indicates that, in limited circumstances, the Port may lower
the required insurance coverage amounts. Can the Port clarify the
circumstances in which the Port would lower the coverage amounts
required in Section IV?
RFQ FOR LEGAL SERVICES
290705.v1
Log of Responses to Proposer Questions – Page 3 of 6
Response 10:
The Port’s Risk Manager sets insurance requirements for all Port
contracts. The Risk Manager, in her sole discretion, may lower the
insurance requirements contained in the RFQ, if she believes that the
amount of the contract, the size of the firm, the type of legal services
being performed and the type or risks involved warrant such reduction.
Question 11: The sample retention agreement attached as Attachment 1 (page 9)
of the RFQ states that as part of the scope of work, law firms must
comply with the “Hiscox Casualty Division – Technology, Media,
Professional Liability and Management Liability Guidelines for North
American Defense Counsel”. Can the Port provide a copy of the
guidelines referenced above?
Response 11:
A copy of the guidelines is attached.
Question 12:
Do you prefer separate proposals for the various practices listed in
the Scope of Services, or is one proposal covering all areas
acceptable?
Response 12:
One proposal covering all areas is acceptable.
Question 13: Besides the Shipping Act which is specifically referenced in the
RFQ, could you please describe in more detail the maritime
regulatory issues involving the Port of Oakland?
Response 13:
In addition to the Shipping Act, regulatory issues may include
regulations related to the federal Water Resources Development Act,
the federal navigational servitude, federal and state security
requirements, CEQA, NEPA, air quality regulations, various
environmental regulations, trucking and goods movement regulations,
the Surface Transportation Board, the California Public Utilities

operators, the trucking industry, railroads, utilities, foreign governmental
officials, foreign investment in the United States, international trade and
other activities that port authorities in the United States engage in.
Question 14: If we bid on an area of work, do we have to agree to perform all of
the services listed under the area? For example, under the Scope of
Services “5. Aviation/Maritime/Transportation” area, the firm would
be well-equipped to handle matters related to maritime, but would
not propose to handle matters related to aviation and transportation
matters?
Response 14:
A
firm can propose on select practice areas (e.g. just maritime), not all
practice areas listed in one section.

Guidelines for North American Defense Counsel
Applicability of and agreement to guidelines
These guidelines apply to every law firm and individual attorney appointed or retained by Hiscox to defend its
insureds in North America. They also apply to every law firm and individual attorney who request to be and is included by Hiscox on its List of Recommended North America Defense Counsel.
A law firm's or lawyer's (a) agreement to defend a Hiscox insured, or (b) request to be included on Hiscox's List of Recommended North America Defense Counsel, constitutes agreement to these guidelines. Law firms or lawyers not wishing to accept these guidelines must decline the appointment or retention or not make the request.
Purpose of the guidelines
As with all matters respecting the defense of its insureds, Hiscox's principal goal with these guidelines is to effectuate the prompt, successful and satisfactory resolution of claims against its insureds, whether that means resolving a claim at the pre-litigation stage or vigorously defending the matter through trial and appeal.
Hiscox believes that the practice of law is a profession and that substantial deference is due to the judgment and
practices of qualified professionals. In this regard, nothing in these guidelines is intended to or should be construed
to limit the professional judgment or conduct of a lawyer in the defense of an insured. Rather, the guidelines are intended to establish reporting, billing and other administrative procedures, so that Hiscox may fulfill its own duty to
its insureds to ensure that they are provided an appropriate defense.
It is incumbent on counsel to notify Hiscox if they believe that the guidelines in any way inhibit the full and zealous defense of an insured. We are always willing to consider requests for exceptions to these guidelines, but such requests are best received when made in advance of the need.
Conflicts
Hiscox expects that lawyers appointed or retained to represent its insureds will timely undertake all appropriate
reviews for actual or potential conflicts and make prompt disclosure to the insured and Hiscox accordingly.
In addition, however, Hiscox generally will not appoint or retain as defense counsel, and will not list as recommended
counsel, lawyers or law firms who regularly represent plaintiffs in claims against the types of entities and professional
we insure.
Confidentiality
The insurance contract and sections of these guidelines require that the insured and defense counsel provide certain information to Hiscox in connection with the defense of a claim. Applicable law governs the circumstances in and
extent to which information provided by defense counsel or the insured to Hiscox will be privileged as against
disclosure to others. It is Hiscox's position that it shares a joint interest with its insured in the defense of claims
against that insured for the obvious reason that both the insured and Hiscox may have financial liability for defense
costs, damages, or other loss in connection with such claims. In light of that joint interest, Hiscox believes that the
attorney-client privilege and work product doctrines will extend to protect otherwise privileged information provided
to it in connection with the defense, and Hiscox will take reasonable steps to ensure that such information remains privileged when provided to Hiscox. Acceptance by counsel of an appointment or retention to which these guidelines apply represents recognition of that joint interest and agreement to respect it. Hiscox assumes that defense counsel will take any necessary additional steps to ensure that the joint interest would be recognized and the applicable privileges maintained.
In addition to the ordinary principles governing attorney-client confidentiality, please note that some of Hiscox's insurance contracts limit the circumstances in which the fact of and/or information concerning the terms of the insurance policy, including its limits of liability, may be disclosed. Counsel generally must not disclose information concerning the insurance afforded by Hiscox unless required by law to do so (such as in discovery). To the extent practicable, please provide advance notice to Hiscox of any such disclosure of insurance information.
HI bC*Oxv
Guidelines for North American Defense Counsel
Reporting and budgeting
Neither defendants nor theirinsurance carrierslike surprises, particularly unpleasant ones. Counsel's goal in communicating with Hiscox during the lifeof a claim should be to avoid surprises, whether regarding the exposure to damages, the
availability of a key piece of evidence, or the likely costs of defending the case.
Our role in the defense
Our approval is required whenever counsel would ordinarily need (or want) client approval. Consequently, counsel must timely advise us of all material developments and seek our approval before undertaking more than ministerial steps. Unless otherwise explicitly provided for in the applicable policy, no settlement offer may be made or accepted without our prior approval. In circumstances where the insured controls the defense, Hiscox's prior approval is required for any expenditure only upon the exhaustion of the applicable deductible or retention.
We very much prefer that the insured and Hiscox be simultaneously informed of material developments or events, and that our joint approval be sought for all such steps. In certain circumstances, Hiscox may have the right to take action in a case without the insured's approval, and we do not waive that right by requesting joint notice and joint approval in these guidelines.
Hiscox's claims professionals have substantial experience addressing claims in the areas in which Hiscox provides insurance, and we will be pleased to make the full extent of our knowledge base available to our insureds and their
counsel.
Means of communication
We prefer to communicate by email in almost all circumstances, provided that you take appropriate steps to protect client confidentiality. We obviously are available by telephone whenever a discussion would be useful, and will meet in person as appropriate to the case. When the nature of an item requires it (such as an affidavit with videotapes attached to it as exhibits), postal mail is preferred over express delivery. We discourage the use of faxes. PLEASE do NOT send the same document by more than one means.
Initial report and estimate of likely litigation expenses
Counsel will promptly provide to Hiscox and the insured an initial written report and estimate of likely litigation
expenses. This report should be submitted prior to the first major litigation deadline (such as the due date for a
responsive pleading) and in any event no later than 30 days after appointment. We understand that some matters may
warrant a different schedule, but even in such circumstances, counsel should submit, within the stated deadline, a brief, written explanation of why a deferred report and expense estimate is appropriate.
The initial report should summarize the claim, the known facts relevant to it and key areas for further investigation; provide an initial assessment of risk (that is, the chance that the insured will prevail); an initial assessment of exposure (that is, the likely amount of a judgment if the plaintiff were to prevail); and the current plan for the defense of the case.
The report is intended to provide to Hiscox an accurate overview of the claim, and need not be exhaustive. In many
cases, three or four pages may be adequate for this task.
The estimate of likely litigation expenses should be derived from the plan for the defense of the case. It should include
a brief description of timekeepers to be assigned to the matter, including their rates, and a description, by phase of
litigation, of the fees and costs likely to be incurred based on current information. The estimate of likely litigation expenses should be provided in narrative form, dividing the litigation into logical stages based on your current understanding of the facts and your proposed strategy. For each stage, describe generally the tasks you expect to perform and, where not self-evident, the reasons why they likely will or may be required. Also provide an estimate (which may be in the form of a range) for the fees and costs you presently expect to incur in connection with that stage. If there is an issue or circumstance in a particular stage that may cause the incurrence of unusual expense, please provide more detailed discussion of it.
If you anticipate the need for e-discovery, please provide a separate litigation plan entry (or a sub-entry under the overall discovery plan), which includes a description of the necessary e-discovery and what is likely to be discovered, the estimated cost, and, if appropriate and available, the e-discovery vendor you propose to use for technical
HI bC-OX
Guidelines for North American Defense Counsel
assistance in identifying a highly competent, cost-effective vendor.
We understand that some stages of the litigation may unfold simultaneously, and we are not asking for a linear or time-line plan or budget. Rather, we are asking for your best estimate of total fees and costs for stages or pieces of
the litigation, assuming that the case proceeds to each such stage. We deliberately have not imposed a specific scheme or set of headings so that you may present the relevant information in the manner most appropriate to the
case at hand. The point, however, is to provide to us an accurate framework for understanding the likely costs of
defense, based on currently available information. That framework, which you may revise from time to time throughout the case based on developments, will form the basis for any discussions we may have about substantial departures
from estimated costs.
After we receive the report, we likely will request a telephone conference or meeting to discuss the planned strategy
with counsel and the insured.
Updated reports and estimates of likely litigation expenses
Counsel will provide to Hiscox and the insured written, updated reports and estimates of expenses at the completion of each material phase of a case. In many cases, this will mean that updated reports will be required after a
preliminary motion to dismiss has been ruled upon; after discovery has been completed; after a summary judgment motion has been ruled upon; and at the time of the final pretrial conference. There may be other events in the life of a case that warrant a formal, updated report. At the same time, the estimate of likely litigation expenses should be updated based on the then-available information. Even if there have been no developments that otherwise merit a report, counsel must so advise Hiscox at least quarterly. A simple email indicating, no material developments since our last report dated xx/xx/20xx, will be sufficient for this purpose.
In any event, counsel must provide an updated pretrial report not later than 60 days prior to the scheduled trial date.
Reporting material developments
Whenever there is a material development in a case - that is, a development that a reasonable client would want to know about - counsel will immediately provide to Hiscox and the insured a brief interim report summarizing the event and its significance for the case. In many instances, an email consisting of a paragraph or two will suffice for this
purpose.
All settlement communications are material and must be reported to both the insured and to Hiscox immediately. When preparing for mediation, we would also appreciate your written settlement evaluation and recommendation as far in advance of the mediation as possible, but no less than 30 days prior to the mediation date.
Review of draft pleadings and other documents
Counsel will provide to us, in draft, sufficiently in advance of the filing deadline to afford us meaningful opportunity to make substantive comments, copies of (a) all potentially dispositive court documents, such as motions to dismiss or for summary judgment and appeal briefs; (b) mediation or settlement conference statements; and (c) final pretrial statements, trial briefs, proposed and approved jury instructions and similar trial-related documents. Counsel shall specify in the covering correspondence the time and date by which Hiscox must return any comments on behalf of its insured. In addition, we would appreciate the opportunity to review any proposed settlement agreement or release at the time it is circulated among the parties.
Counsel will provide to us copies of the final versions of all substantive court documents, court orders, written discovery responses, and substantive correspondence.
Staffing
Other than in emergency or one-off situations (e.g., responding to an application for a TRO, staffing an ancillary proceeding in another jurisdiction with a colleague from a local firm office, dealing simultaneously with multiple pre-trial motions in limine), where counsel believes that it will be necessary to assign more than two attorneys to a
HI bCXJ/x
Guidelines for North American Defense Counsel
matter, Hiscox's advance approval is required.
Hiscox will not routinely pay for more than one timekeeper to perform a particular task, such as attending a deposition or a hearing. We recognize, however, that involvement by two timekeepers is sometimes warranted, and Hiscox will agree to staffing two timekeepers to perform the same task in circumstances where it is reasonable and appropriate
to do so.
Hiscox understands that many of the matters involving its insureds may require the collaborative efforts of more than one, and sometimes two, attorneys. This guideline is not intended to apply to tasks which must be performed by each involved attorney as a matter of course to keep abreast of developments in the litigation (e.g., review of key
correspondence and pleadings), nor should it limit the ability of two attorneys working together on a matter to confer with one another as appropriate and reasonable.
In the usual case, Hiscox expects that at least one of the attorneys assigned to a matter will be admitted in the jurisdiction where litigation is pending. Except with advance approval, Hiscox will not pay fees or costs incurred by separate local counsel when lead counsel is not admitted in the jurisdiction.
Billing
Hiscox believes that defense counsel should be paid promptly and fully for all reasonable fees and costs incurred in the defense of a claim. Increases in counsel's hourly rate require our advance approval and should not be requested more than once per year. Whether or not such increases will apply to claims already being defended by the law firm at the time of the request is within Hiscox's discretion and will be discussed with the law firm at the time of such request.
Submission of invoices
Counsel will submit invoices monthly (except that counsel may elect to hold back an invoice where the total new fees and costs incurred are less than $1,000). Copies must be provided simultaneously to the insured and to Hiscox. Hiscox prefers to receive bills by email. Mailing paper copies is acceptable but will delay payment to counsel. Hiscox will notify the insured and defense counsel concerning the applicable deductible or self-insured retention ("deductible") and the insured will be responsible for payment of invoices that fall within the deductible. Payment by the insured of any invoice within the deductible shall not prevent Hiscox from thereafter obtaining credit in the event charges on such invoice are unreasonable.
For invoices above the deductible, Hiscox will make its best efforts to review, approve and pay the invoice within 30 days of receipt. Hiscox funds claim payments via wire transfer, so please include your firm's bank account information on all invoices to allow us to accomplish payment by wire.
We assume that counsel will observe current professional standards in billing. Among other things, this means that each invoice will reflect time breakdowns by task (rather than block billing), and that the invoice will include a summary, by timekeeper, of hours billed, the hourly rate, and the total billed. Description of tasks performed must be sufficiently detailed so that we can understand the relevance of the task to the case. For example, "telephone call" is not a sufficient description, telephone call with plaintiff's counsel regarding settlement, however, would be sufficient. We reserve the right at any time during the life of a matter to require changes in the format or content of your bills if necessary to bring them within professional standards
HI bCOxx
Guidelines for North American Defense Counsel
Disbursements
Except in extraordinary circumstances, Hiscox will not pay third-party vendors directly. Rather, the law firm should advance payment to the vendor for services necessary to the litigation and include those disbursements, without mark-up, on its monthly statements. Where that would impose a particular burden on counsel, advance approval for direct payment by Hiscox to the vendor should be requested.
Disbursements should be itemized and described on your invoice. Back-up (that is, copies of receipts or invoices) is required for the following types of disbursements: (a) out-of-town travel and (b) items over $500. We may request other back-up at any time. The following disbursements require our advance approval: (a) Expert witness or litigation consultant fees and (b) items over $2,500.
Items for which it is inappropriate to bill
Hiscox considers it presumptively unreasonable to bill for, and it therefore will not pay for the following:
computerized legal research charges, except where shown to be case-specific, not included in a flat-rate contract with the vendor, and passed through at actual cost.
secretarial, administrative, word processing, filing or similar support staff time, regardless of whether on an overtime or temporary basis
local telephone and cellular telephone service charges
meals other than when on out-of-town travel, duringtrial, or for a thirdparty, such as a witness at an all-day deposition.
time spent on billing related matters time spent on coverage related matters
fees or disbursements in connection with pro hac vice or other bar admissions mark-up on vendor invoices
in-house photocopying charges in excess of the actual cost (or reasonable estimate thereof).
Billing issues and mandatory arbitration
While we seldom have experienced disputes with defense counsel over billing, Hiscox reserves the right to deny payment for any fee or expense not reasonably incurred in the context of the case at hand. In the event of a dispute,
we shall have the right to review and audit the legal and billing files relevant to the matter. Should we be unable to
resolve a dispute over your bills by informal discussion or, by mutual consent, formal mediation, you and we agree
that we will submit any dispute over your bills to binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The place of arbitration will be in a city in North America where you or we maintain an office, at the option of the party initiating arbitration.
We recognize that some jurisdictions require counsel to obtain a countersigned engagement letter in certain
circumstances. Where Hiscox has the duty to defend its insured, the engagement letter should be addressed jointlyto
the assigned claims professional at Hiscox and to the insured. The letter must provide that these guidelines will prevail over any inconsistent provision in such engagement letter.
