5.4 General Conditions pertaining to provisions of insurance coverage by
Consultant. Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance
provided by Consultant:
1 . Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general
liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials,
employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an
edition prior to 1992. Consultant also agrees to require all contractors, and
subconsultants to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this
Agreement shall prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees, or agents, from
waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive
subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance
proceeds, and to require all contractors and subconsultants to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and
available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of
the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating
to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with
these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has
not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would
serve to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion
for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or
subconsultant.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject
modification and additional requirements by the City, as the
Consultant shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g.
contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may

7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting
of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an
additional insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall be
delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such
proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is
canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right ,
but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests
under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid
by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from
sums due Consultant, at City option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide thirty (30)
days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Consultant agrees to require
its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating
that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no
obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to
comply with the requirements of the certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all
insurance coverage required to be provided by Consultant or any subconsultant, is
intended to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any
other insurance or self insurance available to City.
10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subconsultants, and any other
party involved with the project that is brought onto or involved in the project by
Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant.
Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all
responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the
requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements
with subconsultants and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for
review.
11. Consultant agrees not to self -insure or to use any self -insured
retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further
agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subconsultant, Architect, Engineer or
other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the
project contemplated by this agreement to self -insure its obligations to City, If
Consultant's existing coverage includes a deductible or self -insured retention, the
deductible or self -insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the
City shall review options with the Consultant, which may include reduction or
elimination of the deductible or self -insured retention, substitution of other
coverage, or other solutions.

12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the
contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the
Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such
change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City will
negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement
will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking
any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of
this Agreement.
14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged
failure on the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any
insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor
does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as
City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type
pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement
is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not
effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required
herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced
with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage
has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter
from Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of
insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications
applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five (5)
days of the expiration of coverages.
17. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not
limit the obligations of Consultant under this agreement. Consultant expressly
agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to
City, its employees, officials and agents.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in
this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other
requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given
policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of
clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or
insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
Last revised 1-27-10
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and
distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties
here to be interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and
provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision
conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section.
21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract
used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge
City or Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this
agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not
the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these
requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or
other amounts with respect thereto.
Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss
against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City

duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to
