Contractor shall maintain the insurance policies required by this section throughout the term of this Agreement. The cost of such insurance shall be included in the Contractor’s bid.

Furthermore, the requirements for coverage and limits shall be (1) the minimum coverage and limits specified in this Agreement; or (2) the broader coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy or proceeds available to the named insured; whichever is greater. The additional insured coverage under the Contractor’s policy shall be “primary and non-contributory” and will not seek contribution from City’s insurance or self-insurance and shall be at least as broad as CG 20 01 04 12. In the event Contractor fails to maintain coverage as required by this Agreement, City at its sole discretion may purchase the coverage required and the cost will be paid by Contractor.

The Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance shall be provided with limits of not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) per accident. In the alternative, Contractor may rely on a self- insurance program to meet those requirements, but only if the program of self- insurance complies fully with the provisions of the California Labor Code. Determination of whether a self-insurance program meets the standards of the Labor Code shall be solely in the discretion of the Contract Administrator. The insurer, if insurance is provided, or the Contractor, if a program of self -insurance is provided, shall waive all rights of subrogation against the City and its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers for loss arising from work performed under this Agreement. An endorsement shall state that coverage shall not be canceled except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the City. Contractor shall notify City within 14 days of notification from Contractor’s insurer if such coverage is suspended, voided or reduced in coverage or in limits. 4.2 Commercial General and Automobile Liability Insurance. 4.2.1 General requirements.

If a Commercial General Liability Insurance or an Automobile Liability form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit. Such coverage shall include but shall not be limited to, protection against claims arising from bodily and personal injury, including death resulting therefrom, and damage to property resulting from activities contemplated under this Agreement, including the use of owned and non-owned automobiles. 4.2.2 Minimum scope of coverage. Commercial general coverage shall be at least as broad as Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability occurrence form CG 0001.

City and its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be covered as additional insureds with respect to each of the following: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of Contractor, including the insured’s general supervision of Contractor; products and completed operations of Contractor; premises owned, occupied, or used by Contractor; and automobiles owned, leased, or used by the Contractor. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers. b. The insurance shall cover on an occurrence or an accident basis, and not on a claims-made basis. c. An endorsement must state that coverage is primary insurance with respect to the City and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers, and that no insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City shall be called upon to contribute to a loss under the coverage. d. Any failure of Contractor to comply with reporting provisions of the policy shall not affect coverage provided to City and its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers. e. An endorsement shall state that coverage shall not be canceled except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the City. Contractor shall notify City within 14 days of notification from Contractor’s insurer if such coverage is suspended, voided or reduced in coverage or in limits. 4.4 All Policies Requirements. 4.4.1 Acceptability of insurers. All insurance required by this section is to be placed with insurers with a Bests' rating of no less than A:VII. 4.4.2 Verification of coverage. Prior to beginning any work under this Agreement, Contractor shall furnish City with certificates of insurance and with original endorsements effecting coverage required herein. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies and endorsements. Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of right to exercise later. 4.4.3 Subcontractors. Contractor agrees to include with all subcontractors in their subcontract the same requirements and provisions of this Agreement including the Indemnification and Insurance requirements to the extent they apply to the scope of the Subcontractor’s work. Subcontractors hired by Contractor agree to be bound to Contractor and the City in the same manner and to the same extent as Contractor is bound to the City under the Contract Documents.

All self-insured retentions (SIR) and/or deductibles must be disclosed to the City for approval and shall not reduce the limits of liability. Policies containing any self-insured retention provision and/or deductibles shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the SIR and/or deductibles may be satisfied by either the named insured or the City. 4.4.6 Excess Insurance. The limits of insurance required in this Agreement may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City (if agreed to in a written contract or agreement) before City’s own insurance or self- insurance shall be called upon to protect City as a named insured. 4.4.7 Notice of Reduction in Coverage. In the event that any coverage required by this section is reduced, limited, or materially affected in any other manner, Contractor shall provide written notice to City at Contractor’s earliest possible opportunity and in no case later than five days after Contractor is notified of the change in coverage. 4.5 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies City may have if Contractor fails to provide or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time herein required, City may, at its sole option exercise any of the following remedies, which are alternatives to other remedies City may have and are not the exclusive remedy for Contractor’s breach:  Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for such insurance from any sums due under the Agreement;  Order Contractor to stop work under this Agreement or withhold any payment that becomes due to Contractor hereunder, or both stop work and withhold any payment, until Contractor demonstrates compliance with the requirements hereof; and/or  Terminate this Agreement.
