5.2 Indemnification.
a. General Indemnification Provision.
1. Indemnification for Professional Liability. When the law
establishes a professional standard of care for Consultant's Services, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, protect, defend 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

whether actual, alleged or threatened, including, without limitation, incidental and
consequential damages, court costs, attorneys' fees, litigation expenses, and fees

including but not limited to officers, agents, employees or subconsultants of
Consultant.

obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth
herein this section from each and every subconsultant or any other person or entity
involved by, for, with or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of this
agreement. In the event Consultant fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from
others as required herein, Consultant agrees to be fully responsible according to the
terms of this section. 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 Consultant and shall
survive the termination of this agreement or this section.
4. Indemnity Provisions for Contracts Related to Construction.

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

negligent and where City's active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the
liability involved, the obligation of Consultant will be for that entire portion or
percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.

Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting in any way the extent to

under this Agreement.
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
subcontractors 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 subcontractors 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
subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval,
modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises.
Consultant 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 Consultant's general liability policy, shall be
Last revised II-18-10 10
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 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.
. 10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, 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 subcontractors 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 (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
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
Last revised 11-18-10
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.
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.
Last revised I1-I8-10 12
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
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.

in the performance of this Agreement, shall be the property of City and shall be
delivered to City upon termination of this Agreement or upon the earlier request of
the Contract Officer, and Consultant shall have no claim for further employment or
additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of
ownership of the documents and materials hereunder. Consultant shall cause all
subcontractors to assign to City any documents or materials prepared by them, and
in the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify
City for all damages suffered thereby.
Last revised 11-18-10 13

THIS ENDORSEMENT CHANGES THE POLICY. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY
BLANKET ADDITIONAL INSURED
(CONTRACTORS)
This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:
COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY COVERAGE PART
1. WHO IS AN INSURED — (Section II) is amended
to include any person or organization that you
agree in a "written contract requiring insurance"
to include as an additional insured on this Cover-
age Part, but:
a) Only with respect to liability for "bodily injury",
"property damage" or "personal injury"; and
b) If, and only to the extent that, the injury or
damage is caused by acts or omissions of
you or your subcontractor in the performance
of "your work" to which the "written contract
requiring insurance" applies. The person or
organization does not qualify as an additional
insured with respect to the independent ads
or omissions of such person or organization.
2. The insurance provided to the additional insured
by this endorsement is limited as follows:
a) In the event that the Limits of Insurance of
this Coverage Part shown in the Declarations
exceed the limits of liability required by the
"written contract requiring insurance", the in-
surance provided to the additional insured
shall be limited to the limits of liability re-
quired by that "written contract requiring in-
surance". This endorsement shall not in-
crease the limits of insurance described in
Section III — Limits Of Insurance.
b) The insurance provided to the additional in-
sured does not apply to "bodily injury", "prop-
erty damage" or "personal injury" arising out
of the rendering of, or failure to render, any
professional architectural, engineering or sur-
veying services, including:
I. The preparing, approving, or failing to
prepare or approve, maps, shop draw-
ings, opinions, reports, surveys, field or-
ders or change orders, or the preparing,
approving, or failing to prepare or ap-
prove, drawings and specifications; and
li. Supervisory, inspection, architectural or
engineering activities.
c) The insurance provided to the additional in-
sured does not apply to "bodily Injury" or
"property damage" caused by "your work"
and included in the "products -completed op-
erations hazard" unless the "written contract
requiring insurance" specifically requires you
to provide such coverage for that additional
insured, and then the insurance provided to
the additional insured applies only to such
'bodily injury" or "property damage" that oc-
curs before the end of the period of time for
which the "written contract requiring insur-
ance" requires you to provide such coverage
or the end of the policy period, whichever is
earlier.
3. The insurance provided to the additional insured
by this endorsement Is excess over any valid and
collectible "other insurance", whether primary,
excess, contingent or on any other basis, that is
available to the additional insured for a loss we
cover under this endorsement. However, if the
"written contract requiring insurance" specifically
requires that this insurance apply on a primary
basis or a primary and non-contributory basis,
this insurance is primary to 'other insurance"
available to the additional insured which covers
that person or organization as a named insured
for such loss, and we will not share with that
"other insurance". But the insurance provided to
the additional insured by this endorsement still is
excess oven any valid and collectible 'other In-
surance", whether primary, excess, contingent or
on any other basis, that is available to the addi-
tional insured when that person or organization is
an additional insured under such 'other insur-
ance".
4. As a condition of coverage provided to the
additional insured by this endorsement:
a) The additional insured must give us written
notice as soon as practicable of an -occur-
rence" or an offense which may result In a
claim. To the extent possible, such notice
should include:

COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY
i. How, when and where the "occurrence"
or offense took place;
ii. The names and addresses of any injured
persons and witnesses; and
ill. The nature and location of any injury or
damage arising out of the "occurrence" or
offense.
b) If a claim is made or "suit" is brought against
the additional insured, the additional insured
must:
i. immediately record the specifics of the
claim or "suit' and the date received; and
it. Notify us as soon as practicable.
The additional Insured must see to it that we
receive written notice of the claim or "suit" as
soon as practicable.
c) The additional insured must immediately
send us copies of all legal papers received in
connection with the claim or "suit", cooperate
with us in the investigation or settlement of
the claim or defense against the "suit', and
otherwise comply with all policy conditions.
d) The additional insured must tender the de-
fense and indemnity of any claim or "suit" to
any provider of "other insurance" which would
cover the additional insured for a loss we
cover under this endorsement. However, this
condition does not affect whether the insur-
ance provided to the additional insured by
this endorsement is primary to "other insur-
ance" available to the additional insured
which covers that person or organization as a
named insured as described in paragraph 3.
above.
S. The following definition is added to SECTION V.
— DEFINITIONS:
"Written contract requiring insurance" means
that part of any written contract or agreement
under which you are required to Include a
person or organization as an additional in-
sured on this Coverage Part, provided that
the "bodily injury" and "property damage" oc-
curs and the "personal injury" is caused by an
offense committed:
a. After the signing and execution of the
contract or agreement by you;
It. While that part of the contract or
agreement is in effect; and
