TERI LEDOUXSenior AdvisorTeri Ledoux served in local government for over 25 years. Starting as an unpaid intern in the City Manager's Office, Teri quickly realized a passion for serving the community through problem solving, analysis, and most importantly through teamwork. Holding positions as Analyst, Assistant to the City Manager, Director of Administrative Services, Assistant City Manager and City Manager in 3 cities (within 3 different counties) over her career provided Teri with the opportunity to constantly learn and grow. While Teri's City Manager position came relatively late in her career, she was able to take years of watching and learning from others to work side by side with her team to accomplish what seemed to be impossible. Teri worked in cities with large and small populations, cities with healthy and not so healthy budgets, and cities with very different issues. This journey led Teri to return home to the City of San Bernardino late in her career where she was able to lead the City through the final steps of bankruptcy. Her major accomplishment during this time was successfully leading the community engagement effort to replace the expiring .25 ($9M) sales tax measure with a 1% ($40M) sales tax measure. The importance of giving back to our upcoming leaders is a priority for Teri. Teri holds a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and a Master's Degree in Public Administration.

verifications as defined in this Exhibit B.
A. Scope of Coverage. During the term of this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall
maintain, at no expense to CITY, the following insurance policies:
1. Commercial general liability. A commercial general liability insurance
policy in the minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence/two million dollars
($2,000,000) aggregate, for death, bodily injury, personal injury, or property damage.
2. Automobile liability. An automobile liability (owned, non-owned, and hired
vehicles) insurance policy in the minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per
occurrence.
3. Professional liability. If any licensed professional performs any of the
services required to be performed under this Agreement, a professional liability insurance policy in
the minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence/two million dollars
($2,000,000) aggregate, to cover any claims arising out of the CONSULTANT's performance of
services under this Agreement. Where CONSULTANT is a professional not required to have a
professional license, CITY reserves the right to require CONSULTANT to provide professional
liability insurance pursuant to this section.
4. Workers’ compensation. If it employs any person, CONSULTANT shall
maintain workers’ compensation insurance, as required by the State of California, with statutory
limits, and employer’s liability insurance with limits of no less than one million dollars
($1,000,000) per accident for bodily injury or disease. CONSULTANT’s workers’ compensation
insurance shall be specifically endorsed to waive any right of subrogation against CITY.
B. Other Insurance Requirements. The insurance coverage required of the
CONSULTANT in subparagraph A of this section above shall also meet the following requirements:
1. Except for professional liability insurance or workers’ compensation
insurance, the insurance policies shall be specifically endorsed to include the CITY, its officers,
agents, employees, and volunteers, as additional insureds (for both ongoing and completed
operations) under the policies.
2. The additional insured coverage under CONSULTANT’s insurance policies
shall be “primary and noncontributory” 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 CONSULTANT’S policies shall be at least as broad as
v 08.22 B-2
ISO form CG20 01 04 13.
3. Except for professional liability insurance or workers’ 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, CONSULTANT hereby grants to CITY
a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of CONSULTANT may acquire against
CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. CONSULTANT 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. No representation is made that the minimum
insurance requirements of this Agreement are sufficient to cover the obligations of the
CONSULTANT under this Agreement.
9. CONSULTANT agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party
involved with the Services, who is brought onto or involved in the performance of the Services by
CONSULTANT, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of CONSULTANT,
except as with respect to limits. 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 Agreement. CONSUTLANT agrees that upon request by CITY, all
agreements with, and insurance compliance documents provided by, such subcontractors and
others engaged in the performance of Services will be submitted to CITY for review.
10. CONSULTANT agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used
by any party involved in any way with the Services reserves the right to charge CITY or
CONSULTANT for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Agreement. Any
v 08.22 B-3
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.
C. Deductibles and SIR’s. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions in
CONSULTANT's insurance policies must be declared to and approved by the CITY 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 CITY's satisfaction, or CONSULTANT shall
procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claims administration,
attorney’s fees and defense expenses.
D. Proof of Insurance. CONSULTANT shall provide to the PROJECT MANAGER
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
CONSULTANT. 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 the CITY.
