agents, employees, and volunteers, as additionally named insureds (for both ongoing and completed
operations) under the policies.
2. The additional insured coverage under CONTRACTOR’S insurance policies
shall be primary with respect to any insurance or coverage maintained by CITY and shall not call
upon CITY's insurance or self-insurance coverage for any contribution. The “primary and
noncontributory” coverage in CONTRACTOR’S policies shall be at least as broad as ISO form
CG20 01 04 13.
3. Except for professional liability insurance or worker’s compensation
insurance, the insurance policies shall include, in their text or by endorsement, coverage for
contractual liability and personal injury.
4. By execution of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR hereby grants to
CITY a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of CONTRACTOR may acquire
against CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. CONTRACTOR
agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to effect this waiver of subrogation, but
this provision applies regardless of whether or not CITY has received a waiver of subrogation
endorsement from the insurer.
5. If the insurance is written on a Claims Made Form, then, following termination
of this Agreement, said insurance coverage shall survive for a period of not less than five years.
6. The insurance policies shall provide for a retroactive date of placement
coinciding with the effective date of this Agreement.
7. 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
noncontributory 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 it as a named insured.
8. It shall be a requirement under this Agreement that any available insurance
proceeds broader than or in excess of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or
limits shall be available to CITY or any other additional insured party. 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.
C. Deductibles and SIR’s. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions in
CONTRACTOR's insurance policies must be declared to and approved by the PROJECT
MANAGER and City Attorney, and shall not reduce the limits of liability. Policies containing any
self-insured retention (SIR) provision shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the SIR may be
satisfied by either the named insured or CITY or other additional insured party. At CITY's option,
the deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to CITY shall be reduced or eliminated to
5
CITY's satisfaction, or CONTRACTOR shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and
related investigations, claims administration, attorney's fees and defense expenses.
D. Proof of Insurance. CONTRACTOR shall provide to the PROJECT
MANAGER or CITY’S City Attorney all of the following: (1) Certificates of Insurance
evidencing the insurance coverage required in this Agreement; (2) a copy of the policy
declaration page and/or endorsement page listing all policy endorsements for the commercial
general liability policy, and (3) excerpts of policy language or specific endorsements evidencing
the other insurance requirements set forth in this Agreement. CITY reserves the right to obtain
a full certified copy of any insurance policy and endorsements from CONTRACTOR. Failure
to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise it later. The insurance
shall be approved as to form and sufficiency by PROJECT MANAGER and the City Attorney.
11. INDEMNIFICATION.
A. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph B., CONTRACTOR shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, indemnify, release, defend with counsel approved by CITY, and hold
harmless CITY, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers (collectively, the “City
Indemnitees”), from and against any claim, demand, suit, judgment, loss, liability or expense of
any kind, including but not limited to attorney's fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of
litigation, (collectively “CLAIMS”), arising out of CONTRACTOR’S performance of its
obligations or conduct of its operations under this Agreement. The CONTRACTOR's obligations
apply regardless of whether or not a liability is caused or contributed to by the active or passive
negligence of the City Indemnitees. However, to the extent that liability is caused by the active
negligence or willful misconduct of the City Indemnitees, the CONTRACTOR's
indemnification obligation shall be reduced in proportion to the City Indemnitees’ share of
liability for the active negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, the acceptance or approval
of the CONTRACTOR’s work or work product by the CITY or any of its directors, officers or
employees shall not relieve or reduce the CONTRACTOR’s indemnification obligations. In the
event the City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding
arising from CONTRACTOR’S performance of or operations under this Agreement,
CONTRACTOR shall provide a defense to the City Indemnitees or at CITY’S option reimburse
the City Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in
defense of such claims.
B. Where the services to be provided by CONTRACTOR under this Agreement are
design professional services to be performed by a design professional as that term is defined under
Civil Code Section 2782.8, CONTRACTOR shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
indemnify, release, defend and hold harmless the City Indemnitees from and against any
CLAIMS that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful
misconduct of CONTRACTOR in the performance of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except
such CLAIM which is caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. In no event
shall the cost to defend charged to the design professional exceed the design professional’s
proportionate percentage of fault.
6
C. The defense and indemnification obligations of this Agreement are undertaken in
addition to, and shall not in any way be limited by, the insurance obligations contained in this
Agreement, and shall survive the termination or completion of this Agreement for the full period
of time allowed by law.
12. NONDISCRIMINATION.
CONTRACTOR shall not discriminate, in any way, against any person on the basis of age,
sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin or disability in connection with or related to the
performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement.
13. COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LAWS.
CONTRACTOR shall observe and comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws,
ordinances, codes and regulations, in the performance of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. CONTRACTOR shall perform all services under this Agreement in accordance with
these laws, ordinances, codes and regulations. CONTRACTOR shall release, defend, indemnify
and hold harmless CITY, its officers, agents and employees from any and all damages, liabilities,
penalties, fines and all other consequences from any noncompliance or violation of any laws,
ordinances, codes or regulations.
14. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.
CITY and CONTRACTOR do not intend, by any provision of this Agreement, to create in
any third party, any benefit or right owed by one party, under the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, to the other party.
15. NOTICES.

of the same or other term, covenant, condition, ordinance, law or regulation. The subsequent
acceptance by either party of any fee, performance, or other consideration which may become due or
