If Artist or Artist’s employees will use personal autos in any way on this project, Artist shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each such person. The term “automobile” includes, but is not limited to, a land motor vehicle, trailer or semi -trailer designed for travel on public roads.

In the event any of said policies of insurance are cancelled, Artist shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit new evidence of insurance in conformance with this Exhibit to the Contract Officer. The procuring of such insurance or the delivery of policies or certificates evidencing the same shall not be construed as a limitation of Artist’s obligation to indemnify City, its officers, employees, contractors, subcontractors, or agents. E.2 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies City may have if Artist 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: a. Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for such insurance from any sums due under this Agreement. b. Order Artist to stop work under this Agreement and/or withhold any payment(s) which become due to Artist hereunder until Artist demonstrates compliance with the requirements hereof. c. Terminate this Agreement. Exercise of any of the above remedies, however, is an alternative to any other remedies City may have. The above remedies are not the exclusive remedies for Artist's failure to maintain or secure appropriate policies or endorsements. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which Artist may be held responsible for payments of damages to persons or property resulting from Artist's or its subcontractors' performance of work under this Agreement. E.3 General Conditions Pertaining to Provisions of Insurance Coverage by Artist . Artist and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Artist: 1. Artist 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. Artist also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise. 2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Artist, or Artist’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Artist agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise. 3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Artist 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 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. Last Revised February 2025 Page 19 of 21 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 subcontractor. 6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Artist shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City’s protection without City’s prior written consent. 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 Artist’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 Artist or deducted from sums due Artist, at City option. 8. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Artist or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available to City. 9. Artist agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project that is brought onto or involved in the project by Artist, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Artist. Artist 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. Artist agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. 10. Artist agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein (with the exception of professional liability coverage, if required) and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, 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 Artist’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 Artist, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions. 11. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Artist ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Artist, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City. 12. 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. 13. Artist acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure Last Revised February 2025 Page 20 of 21 on the part of City to inform Artist 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. 14. Artist 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. 15. Artist 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 Artist’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. 16. The provisions of any workers’ compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Artist under this agreement. Artist expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials, and agents. 17. 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. 18. 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. 19. The requirements in this Exhibit 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 Exhibit. 20. Artist 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 Artist 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. 21. Artist agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Artist arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City. Last Revised February 2025 Page 21 of 21 EXHIBIT F INDEMNIFICATION F.1 General Indemnification Provision. a. Indemnification for Professional Liability. When the law establishes a professional standard of care for Artist’s services, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Artist shall indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel selected by City), and hold harmless City and any and all of its officials, employees, and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities of every kind, nature, and description, damages, injury (including, without limitation, injury to or death of an e mployee of Artist or of any subcontractor), costs and expenses of any kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including, without limitation, incidental and consequential damages, court costs, attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, and fees of expert co nsultants or expert witnesses incurred in connection therewith and costs of investigation, to the extent same are cause in whole or in part by any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission of Artist, its officers, agents, employees or subcontractors (or any entity or individual that Artist shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of professional services under this agreement. With respect to the design of public improvements, the Artist shall not be liable for any injuries or property damage resulting from the reuse of the design at a location other than that specified in Exhibit A without the written consent of the Artist. b. Indemnification for Other Than Professional Liability . Other than in the performance of professional services and to the full extent permitted by law, Artist shall indemnify, defend (with counsel selected by City), and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any liability (including liability for claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including, with out limitation, incidental and consequential damages, court costs, attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, and fees of expert consultants or expert witnesses) incurred in connection therewith and costs of investigation, where the same arise out of, are a con sequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this Agreement by Artist or by any individual or entity for which Artist is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors of Artist. F.2 Standard Indemnification Provisions. Artist agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth herein this section from each and every subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Artist in the performance of this Agreement. In the event Artist fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, Artist agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this Exhibit. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Arti st and shall survive the termination of this agreement or this section. a. Limitation of Indemnity. Without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this agreement, Artist shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where City’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of Artist will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.
