SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: CITY MANAGER
Prepared by: Rebecca Woodbury, Management Analyst City Manager App
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services
Agreement in an amount not to exceed $33,005 with Godbe Research to conduct a City
Satisfaction Survey for 2013
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with
Godbe Research to conduct a City Satisfaction Survey for 2011
BACKGROUND:
The City of San Rafael has conducted biennial Satisfaction Surveys since 1999 to keep up on issues that
are important to the residents and gauge their satisfaction with City services. The City Satisfaction Survey
is a useful tool for gaining feedback on the needs and interests of the community, trends in the level of
satisfaction with City services and indications on how we can improve our services.
Since 2005, the firm of Godbe Research has performed this task and has provided the City with important
and valuable information, which has been used in connection with the City's establishment of goals and
objectives as well as in the formulation of the City's budget. In January 2011, the City Council authorized
the City Manager to execute an agreement to complete the 2011 City Satisfaction Survey. In keeping with
the biennial schedule, the City is due to conduct another survey in 2013.
ANALYSIS:
In order to stay competitive and explore alternative methodological approaches; the City issued a Request
for Qualifications (RFQ) in October 2012 for the 2013 City Satisfaction Survey. The City received 7
Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) and interviewed 3 firms. Godbe Research was selected by a
subcommittee of the City Council based on their deep knowledge of San Rafael, extensive experience
with resident satisfaction surveys and sound methodological approach.
Godbe Research has conducted previous City Satisfaction Surveys for San Rafael and is familiar with the
design and methodology for completing this process with our residents. Godbe is an experienced
research firm and can generally conduct a survey project in approximately 6-8 weeks. The 2013 survey
will consist of a 20 -minute questionnaire with a sample size of 500 total voter interviews. The survey will
be conducted by telephone and online. Spanish translation will be available. A description of the
methodology is included in the proposed Scope of Services (Attachment A).
In keeping with past practice, the City Council Subcommittee will have the opportunity to provide input to
the survey prior to Godbe Research beginning the participant interviews.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of this agreement for all tasks outlined in Attachment A is $33,005. This cost is $6,695 higher
than the 2011 contract, mostly due to the addition of scope items including an internet survey module and

SCOPE OF WORK AND PROJECT COSTS
TO CONDUCT THE 2013 CITIZEN
SATISFACTION SURVEY
Presented to the City of San Rafael
November 26, 2012
PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK
Godbe Research is a recognized leader in public opinion research for cities, counties,
park and recreation districts, school districts, and other California and western U.S.
local government agencies. This includes the development and implementation of
more than 75 resident/citizen satisfaction and planning survey programs. The firm
believes that any project's success depends on recognizing the individual needs of
each client.
To this end, Godbe Research has crafted the following work plan for the City of San
Rafael (San Rafael or City) to illustrate the types of considerations that go into each of
our research projects. The scope of work and following project costs reflect the City's
request for qualifications (RFQ) for Citizen Satisfaction Survey dated October 19,
2012, the Godbe Research statement of qualifications (SOQ) dated November 5,
2012, and our project interview with the City on November 19, 2012.
Research Objectives
Before beginning any research project, Godbe Research spends significant time
reviewing each client's specific and unique research objectives to choose the most
appropriate research design. Based on our understanding of the project from the
City's RFQ process, as well as our work on previous Citizen Satisfaction Surveys for
the City and other clients, Godbe Research understands that San Rafael has several
objectives, the most important of which include:
✓ evaluating overall perceptions on quality of life and other issues in the City of
San Rafael;
• determining satisfaction with the City's performance in providing a variety of
services and programs;
✓ evaluating public perception of the condition of City facilities;
✓ determining awareness of the City's financial condition and potential future
ballot measures;
✓ assessing preferred communications preferences and information sources for
City communications;
✓ comparing results of the 2013 Citizen Satisfaction Survey to previous survey
events;
✓ measuring differences in opinions due to demographic, geographic, and
behavioral characteristics, and;
✓ other objectives to be refined between Godbe Research and the City of San
Rafael as the project unfolds.
Methodology and Sampling Discussion
For the 2013 Citizen Survey process, we are recommending a telephone survey of
City of San Rafael residents and registered voters as the most appropriate survey
methodology and sampling design. This will also include an Internet module for voters
for which we can obtain email addresses through our sample provider. The resident
portion of the telephone survey will use a random digit dial (RDD) sampling design
which will be supplemented and de -duplicated with a listed voter sampling design so
Scope of ",,Alrjrk and P u ec; CoStS 'o cCond ct the 10 S t�zen Sail€a t;o Survey
Goo -be Reseamn Page I
that we can compare results to previous Citizen Satisfaction Survey events (past
events have used a listed voter sampling design), as well as potentially allow for
broader inclusion of diverse San Rafael demographic and geographic subgroups.
Finally, the telephone survey will be translated into Spanish to help gather the
opinions of linguistically isolated Spanish-speaking residents of the City, with a further
option to also translate and provide a Spanish-language version of the Internet survey.
The net effect of the aforementioned methodology and sampling considerations will
then allow for: 1) inclusion of the broadest possible base of City residents; 2) the
ability to test both satisfaction and potential ballot measure topics; 3) comparability to
previous Citizen Satisfaction Survey events; 4) an evaluate of email as a survey
mechanism for future City voter surveys; 5) analysis of the data by the resident (U.S.
Census) and registered voter populations in the City, and; 6) evaluation of future City
surveys being provided in Spanish.
Proposed Scope of Work
Godbe Research has crafted the following scope of work for the City of San Rafael to
illustrate the types of considerations that go into each of our research projects. This
scope of work follows the City's RFQ, our SOQ, and the project interview process.
Accordingly, based on the RFQ, SOQ, and project interview, specific services for the
2013 San Rafael Citizen Satisfaction Survey are envisioned to include:
v An in-person kick-off meeting with San Rafael and the development of a
project work plan and time line for the 2013 Citizen Satisfaction Survey, based
on City needs and input
y Additional in-person meetings and conference calls, as needed, to discuss the
research objectives, questionnaire and sampling design, and other aspects of
the 2013 Citizen Satisfaction Survey in detail.
r Designing and refining a survey instrument of approximately 20 -minutes in
length for the 2013 Citizen Satisfaction Survey and formatting the survey
instrument for both the Internet and telephone. The survey instrument will be
designed through an iterative process with the City so that it addresses the
specific research objectives of San Rafael for the survey process. Please note
that the 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011 surveys were each 20 minutes in length.
➢ Pre -testing the survey instrument to ensure that the questions and response
codes are understandable to respondents skip patterns and other logic
perform properly, and to ensure that the survey length coincides with the
budgeted survey length for the project.
CATI programming the telephone version of the survey instrument for efficient
and accurate data collection. CATI programming refers to programming the
survey into a computer for efficient and error -free data collection. All
interviews, however, are conducted via a live interviewer located in the
western United States.
Training telephone interviewing personnel on the telephone survey
questionnaire and interviewing protocol through an intensive training session.
➢ Programming, refining, and testing the Internet version of the survey
instrument using our Internet survey software capability. The Internet and
phone versions of the survey will be identical in terms of questions, skip
patterns, response codes, etc.

City of San Rafael
➢ Reviewing U.S. Census data, voter demographics, and other population data
to develop a hybrid sample of City of San Rafael residents (RDD sample) and
registered voters (listed voter sample) applicable to the research objectives
and Internet/telephone modalities being employed for the 2013 Citizen
Satisfaction Survey. The samples will be de -duplicated by removing known
phone numbers from the listed voter file from the RDD portion of the overall
sampling design. We will further ask respondents if they have already taken
the survey to account for residents/voters who might have landline and/or cell
phone number portability.
❖ For review, there are approximately 57,713 total residents in the City
of San Rafael, as well as approximately 27,638 registered voters.
Within the voter population, we are able to match telephone numbers
for 77% of the voter population, of which 9% of all phone numbers
have been identified as cell phones through an exchange review.
Furthermore, within the voter portion of the sample, we have email
addresses for 4,716 voters or 17% of the electorate in the City of San
Rafael.
Translation of the telephone version of the survey instrument into Spanish and
Spanish language interviewing for up to 10% of all interviews. We have also
provided optional costs to translate the Internet version of the survey
instrument into Spanish and have presented these separately later in this
document.
➢ Development of a recruitment email for the Internet version of the survey and
working with the City to send recruitment emails to voters with email
addresses in the voter file. This would also be translated into Spanish, should
the City decide to translate the actual Internet version of the survey into
Spanish.
Conducting an email recruitment (City -driven) process and hosting the 20 -
minute Internet version of the survey (Godbe Research) as the first step in the
data collection. Given the 4,716 email addresses in the voter file, our
sampling design and demographic quotas, and a typical 100:1 response rate
for Internet surveys such as this, we would envision collecting up to 50 total
interviews for this portion of the data collection. We would then conduct 20 -
minute telephone interviews with 450 total San Rafael registered voters,
according to a strict interviewing protocol and our approved sampling design,
which would provide for an overall sample size of 500 (n=500) respondents.
A sample size of 500 voters will provide a maximum margin of error of
no greater than +/-4.34% at the 95% confidence level when looking at
all registered voters or even City residents. A sample size of 500
voters is also commensurate with the 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011
Citizen Satisfaction Survey processes.
➢ Merging the Internet and telephone data files, as well as processing and
weighting the data to adjust for population distribution and strategic
oversampling, as needed.
➢ Meeting with the City of San Rafael to review the topline/aggregate survey
results. This will help our more detailed analysis and reporting to be of
maximum value to the City for the 2013 Citizen Satisfaction Survey.

➢ Analyzing the survey results from the 2013 Citizen Satisfaction Survey and
preparing a comprehensive report of findings and conclusions for San Rafael.
Because a concise summary of the data and actionable recommendations are
critical to a client's objectives, Godbe Research takes great care analyzing the
data and preparing a written final report for each of our clients.
❖ Our resident/citizen survey reports typically include the following: an
executive summary of important findings as well as a thorough
discussion of the conclusions and recommendations; an introduction
to the research objectives and methodology; comparisons to past
surveys or peer communities (based on baseline or tracking surveys);
a copy of the survey questionnaire, a tabulation of survey attempts
and call dispositions, and; a complete set of crosstabulations for all
questions asked in the survey.
❖ In addition, our survey reports are provided in draft and final formats,
based on San Rafael staff, administration, and Council comments, as
well as in hard copy and electronic format (for City's web site).
➢ An in-person presentation of the results to San Rafael by Bryan Godbe for up
to three separate presentations. The presentations will be accompanied by
PowerPoint slides and the length/content will be based on City needs.
➢ Post project consulting with the City of San Rafael on the survey results and
recommendations from the 2013 Citizen Satisfaction Survey event between
biennial survey events, as well as during any City planning, outreach, or
marketing based on survey results (no charge/ongoing).

PROJECT COSTS
Godbe Research takes great pride in delivering reliable and practical research
projects on time and on budget. In doing so, we prefer to provide a firm, fixed fee
format for our services. Based on our understanding of the research objectives of the
City of San Rafael, we have provided costs below to conduct the 2013 Citizen
Satisfaction Survey, using dual Internet and telephone methodologies, as well as a
hybrid sample of all residents (RDD for telephone survey) and San Rafael registered
voters (listed voter for telephone and Internet surveys). In addition, we have provided
costs to translate the telephone survey portion of the overall study into Spanish and
provide Spanish language interviewing for up to 10% of all interviews. Finally, optional
costs have been provided to translate the Internet version of the survey into Spanish
as well as the email recruitment to the Internet survey.
Both survey instruments will be identical at 20 -minutes in length, and given the
number of voter email addresses in our sample (and the overall sample size), we
would expect to conduct 50 interviews via the Internet and 450 via the telephone This
will provide for a total sample size of 500 (n=500) completed interviews, as with past
Citizen Satisfaction Surveys conducted for the City. The RDD and listed voter
samples will be de -duplicated and we will conduct the Internet version of the survey
first, followed by the telephone version. Finally, the listed voter portion of the sampling
design will also include cell phone only voters/households.
The costs below are firm and fixed as long as the project parameters conform to those
outlined in this cost proposal. Should project parameters or San Rafael needs
change, we will be happy to provide amended costs prior to proceeding.

Various provisions in this policy restrict coverage. Read the entire policy carefully to determine rights, duties and what
is and is not covered.
Throughout this policy the words "you" and "your" refer to the Named Insured shown in the Declarations. The words
"we", "us" and "our" refer to the stock insurance company member of The Hartford providing this insurance.
The word "insured" means any person or organization qualifying as such under Section C. - Who Is An Insured.
Other words and phrases that appear in quotation marks have special meaning. Refer to Section G. - Liability And
Medical Expenses Definitions.
A. COVERAGES
1. BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE (BODILY
INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL
AND ADVERTISING INJURY)
Insuring Agreement
a. We will pay those sums that the insured
becomes legally obligated to pay as
damages because of "bodily injury",
"property damage" or "personal and
advertising injury" to which this insurance
applies. We will have the right and duty to
defend the insured against any "suit"
seeking those damages. However, we will
have no duty to defend the insured against
any "suit" seeking damages for "bodily
injury", "property damage" or "personal and
advertising injury" to which this insurance
does not apply.
We may, at our discretion, investigate any
"occurrence" or offense and settle any claim
or "suit" that may result. But:
(1) The amount we will pay for damages is
limited as described in Section D. -
Liability And Medical Expenses Limits
Of Insurance; and
(2) Our right and duty to defend ends when
we have used up the applicable limit of
insurance in the payment of judgments,
settlements or medical expenses to which
this insurance applies.
No other obligation or liability to pay sums or
perform acts or services is covered unless
explicitly provided for under Coverage
Extension - Supplementary Payments.
b. This insurance applies:
(1) To "bodily injury" and "property
damage" only if:
(a) The "bodily injury" or "property
damage" is caused by an
"occurrence" that takes place in the
"coverage territory';
(b) The "bodily injury" or "property
damage" occurs during the policy
period; and
(c) Prior to the policy period, no insured
listed under Paragraph 1. of Section
C. — Who Is An Insured and no
"employee" authorized by you to give
or receive notice of an "occurrence"
or claim, knew that the "bodily injury"
or "property damage" had occurred,
in whole or in part. If such a listed
insured or authorized "employee"
knew, prior to the policy period, that
the "bodily injury" or "property
damage" occurred, then any
continuation, change or resumption
of such "bodily injury" or "property
damage" during or after the policy
period will be deemed to have been
known prior to the policy period.
(2) To "personal and advertising injury'
caused by an offense arising out of your
business, but only if the offense was
committed in the "coverage territory"
during the policy period.
c. "Bodily injury" or "property damage" will be
deemed to have been known to have
occurred at the earliest time when any
insured listed under Paragraph 1. of Section
C. — Who Is An Insured or any "employee"
authorized by you to give or receive notice
of an "occurrence" or claim:
(1) Reports all, or any part, of the "bodily
injury" or "property damage" to us or
any other insurer;

claim for damages because of the "bodily
injury" or "property damage'; or
(3) Becomes aware by any other means that
"bodily injury" or "property damage" has
occurred or has begun to occur.
d. Damages because of "bodily injury" include
damages claimed by any person or
organization for care, loss of services or
death resulting at any time from the "bodily
injury".
e. Incidental Medical Malpractice
(1) "Bodily injury" arising out of the
rendering of or failure to render
professional health care services as a
physician, dentist, nurse, emergency
medical technician or paramedic shall
be deemed to be caused by an
"occurrence", but only if:
(a) The physician, dentist, nurse,
emergency medical technician or
paramedic is employed by you to
provide such services; and
(b) You are not engaged in the
business or occupation of providing
such services.
(2) For the purpose of determining the
limits of insurance for incidental medical
malpractice, any act or omission
together with all related acts or
omissions in the furnishing of these
services to any one person will be
considered one "occurrence".
2. MEDICAL EXPENSES
Insuring Agreement
a. We will pay medical expenses as described
below for "bodily injury" caused by an

(2) On ways next to premises you own or

provided that:

3. COVERAGE EXTENSION -
SUPPLEMENTARY PAYMENTS
a. We will pay, with respect to any claim or
"suit" we investigate or settle, or any "suit"
against an insured we defend:
(1) All expenses we incur.
(2) Up to $1,000 for the cost of bail bonds
required because of accidents or traffic
law violations arising out of the use of
any vehicle to which Business Liability
Coverage for "bodily injury" applies. We
do not have to furnish these bonds.

judgment that accrues after entry of the
judgment and before we have paid,

Page 2 of 24 Form SS 00 08 04 05
b. If we defend an insured against a "suit"
and an indemnitee of the insured is also
named as a party to the "suit", we will
defend that indemnitee if all of the
following conditions are met:
(1) The "suit" against the indemnitee
seeks damages for which the insured
has assumed the liability of the
indemnitee in a contract or agreement
that is an "insured contract";
(2) This insurance applies to such liability
assumed by the insured;
(3) The obligation to defend, or the cost of
the defense of, that indemnitee, has
also been assumed by the insured in
the same "insured contract";
(4) The allegations in the "suit" and the
information we know about the
"occurrence" are such that no conflict
appears to exist between the interests
of the insured and the interest of the
indemnitee;
(5) The indemnitee and the insured ask
us to conduct and control the defense
of that indemnitee against such "suit"
and agree that we can assign the
same counsel to defend the insured
and the indemnitee; and
(6) The indemnitee:
(a) Agrees in writing to:
(i) Cooperate with us in the
investigation, settlement or
defense of the "suit";
(ii) Immediately send us copies of
any demands, notices,
summonses or legal papers
received in connection with
the "suit';

respect to coordinating other

to the indemnitee; and
(b) Provides us with written
authorization to:
(1) Obtain records and other
information related to the
"suit"; and

defense of the indemnitee in
such "suit".
BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
So long as the above conditions are met,
attorneys' fees incurred by us in the
defense of that indemnitee, necessary
litigation expenses incurred by us and
necessary litigation expenses incurred
by the indemnitee at our request will be
paid as Supplementary Payments.
Notwithstanding the provisions of
Paragraph 1.b.(b) of Section B. —
Exclusions, such payments will not be
deemed to be damages for "bodily
injury" and "property damage" and will
not reduce the Limits of Insurance.
Our obligation to defend an insured's
indemnitee and to pay for attorneys' fees
and necessary litigation expenses as
Supplementary Payments ends when:
(1) We have used up the applicable limit
of insurance in the payment of
judgments or settlements; or
(2) The conditions set forth above, or the

D. LIABILITY AND MEDICAL EXPENSES
LIMITS OF INSURANCE
1. The Most We Will Pay
The Limits of Insurance shown in the
Declarations and the rules below fix the most
we will pay regardless of the number of:
a. Insureds;
b. Claims made or "suits" brought; or
c. Persons or organizations making claims or
bringing "suits".
2. Aggregate Limits
The most we will pay for:
a. Damages because of "bodily injury" and
"property damage" included in the
"products -completed operations hazard" is
the Products -Completed Operations
Aggregate Limit shown in the
Declarations.
b. Damages because of all other "bodily
injury", "property damage" or "personal
and advertising injury", including medical
expenses, is the General Aggregate Limit
shown in the Declarations.
This General Aggregate Limit applies
separately to each of your 'locations"
owned by or rented to you.
"Location" means premises involving the
same or connecting lots, or premises
whose connection is interrupted only by a
street, roadway or right-of-way of a
railroad.
This General Aggregate limit does not
apply to "property damage" to premises
while rented to you or temporarily
occupied by you with permission of the
owner, arising out of fire, lightning or
explosion.
3. Each Occurrence Limit
Subject to 2.a. or 2.b above, whichever
applies, the most we will pay for the sum of all
damages because of all "bodily injury",
"property damage" and medical expenses
arising out of any one 'occurrence" is the
Liability and Medical Expenses Limit shown in
the Declarations.
The most we will pay for all medical expenses
because of "bodily injury" sustained by any
one person is the Medical Expenses Limit

"personal and advertising injury" sustained by
any one person or organization is the Personal

5. Damage To Premises Rented To You Limit
The Damage To Premises Rented To You
Limit is the most we will pay under Business
Liability Coverage for damages because of
"property damage" to any one premises, while
rented to you, or in the case of damage by fire,
lightning or explosion, while rented to you or
temporarily occupied by you with permission of
the owner.
In the case of damage by fire, lightning or
explosion, the Damage to Premises Rented To
You Limit applies to all damage proximately
caused by the same event, whether such
damage results from fire, lightning or explosion
or any combination of these.
6. How Limits Apply To Additional Insureds
The most we will pay on behalf of a person or
organization who is an additional insured
under this Coverage Part is the lesser of:
a. The limits of insurance specified in a
written contract, written agreement or
permit issued by a state or political
subdivision; or
b. The Limits of Insurance shown in the
Declarations.
Such amount shall be a part of and not in
addition to the Limits of Insurance shown in
the Declarations and described in this Section.
Page 14 of 24 Form SS 00 08 04 05
If more than one limit of insurance under this
policy and any endorsements attached thereto
applies to any claim or "suit", the most we will pay
under this policy and the endorsements is the
single highest limit of liability of all coverages
applicable to such claim or "suit". However, this
paragraph does not apply to the Medical Expenses
limit set forth in Paragraph 3. above.
The Limits of Insurance of this Coverage Part apply
separately to each consecutive annual period and to
any remaining period of less than 12 months, starting
with the beginning of the policy period shown in the
Declarations, unless the policy period is extended
after issuance for an additional period of less than 12
months. In that case, the additional period will be
deemed part of the last preceding period for purposes
of determining the Limits of Insurance.

3. Financial Responsibility Laws

financial responsibility for the future under
the provisions of any motor vehicle
financial responsibility law, the insurance
provided by the policy for "bodily injury"
liability and "property damage" liability will
comply with the provisions of the law to
the extent of the coverage and limits of
insurance required by that law.
b. With respect to "mobile equipment" to
which this insurance applies, we will
provide any liability, uninsured motorists,
underinsured motorists, no-fault or other

law. We will provide the required limits for
those coverages.
4. Legal Action Against Us

this Coverage Form:
a. To join us as a party or otherwise bring us
into a "suit" asking for damages from an
insured; or
b. To sue us on this Coverage Form unless
all of its terms have been fully complied
with.
A person or organization may sue us to recover
on an agreed settlement or on a final judgment
against an insured; but we will not be liable for
damages that are not payable under the terms of
this insurance or that are in excess of the
applicable limit of insurance. An agreed
settlement means a settlement and release of
liability signed by us, the insured and the
claimant or the claimant's legal representative.
S. Separation Of Insureds

and any rights or duties specifically assigned
in this policy to the first Named Insured, this

6. Representations

By accepting this policy, you agree:
(1) The statements in the Declarations
are accurate and complete;
(2) Those statements are based upon
representations you made to us; and
(3) We have issued this policy in reliance
upon your representations.
b. Unintentional Failure To Disclose
Hazards
If unintentionally you should fail to disclose
all hazards relating to the conduct of your
business at the inception date of this
Coverage Part, we shall not deny any
coverage under this Coverage Part
because of such failure.
7. Other Insurance
If other valid and collectible insurance is
available for a loss we cover under this
Coverage Part, our obligations are limited as
follows:
a. Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary except when b.
below applies. If other insurance is also
primary, we will share with all that other
insurance by the method described in c.
below.
b. Excess Insurance
This insurance is excess over any of the
other insurance, whether primary, excess,
contingent or on any other basis:
(1) Your Work
That is Fire, Extended Coverage,
Builder's Risk, Installation Risk or
similar coverage for "your work';
(2) Premises Rented To You
That is fire, lightning or explosion
insurance for premises rented to you
or temporarily occupied by you with
permission of the owner;
(3) Tenant Liability
That is insurance purchased by you to
cover your liability as a tenant for
"property damage" to premises rented
to you or temporarily occupied by you
with permission of the owner;
(4) Aircraft, Auto Or Watercraft
If the loss arises out of the maintenance
or use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to
the extent not subject to Exclusion g. of
Section A. — Coverages.
(5) Property Damage To Borrowed
Equipment Or Use Of Elevators
If the loss arises out of "property
damage" to borrowed equipment or
the use of elevators to the extent not
subject to Exclusion k. of Section A. —
Coverages.
Page 16 of 24 Form SS 00 08 04 05
(6) When You Are Added As An
Additional Insured To Other
Insurance
That is other insurance available to
you covering liability for damages
arising out of the premises or
operations, or products and completed
operations, for which you have been
added as an additional insured by that
insurance; or
(7) When You Add Others As An
Additional Insured To This
Insurance
That is other insurance available to an
additional insured.
However, the following provisions
apply to other insurance available to
any person or organization who is an
additional insured under this Coverage
Part:
(a) Primary Insurance When
Required By Contract
This insurance is primary if you
have agreed in a written contract,
written agreement or permit that
this insurance be primary. If other
insurance is also primary, we will
share with all that other insurance
by the method described in c.
below.
(b) Primary And Non -Contributory
To Other Insurance When
Required By Contract
If you have agreed in a written
contract, written agreement or
permit that this insurance is
primary and non-contributory with
the additional insured's own
insurance, this insurance is
primary and we will not seek
contribution from that other
insurance.
Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to
other insurance to which the additional
insured has been added as an
additional insured.
When this insurance is excess, we will
have no duty under this Coverage Part to
defend the insured against any "suit" if any
other insurer has a duty to defend the
insured against that "suit". If no other
insurer defends, we will undertake to do
so, but we will be entitled to the insured's
rights against all those other insurers.
BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
When this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of
the amount of the loss, if any, that
exceeds the sum of:
(1) The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in the
absence of this insurance; and
(2) The total of all deductible and self-
insured amounts under all that other
insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any, with
any other insurance that is not described in
this Excess Insurance provision and was not
bought specifically to apply in excess of the
Limits of Insurance shown in the
Declarations of this Coverage Part.
c. Method Of Sharing
If all the other insurance permits
contribution by equal shares, we will follow
this method also. Under this approach,
each insurer contributes equal amounts
until it has paid its applicable limit of
insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will
contribute by limits. Under this method, each
insurer's share is based on the ratio of its
applicable limit of insurance to the total
applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.
8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against
Others To Us
a. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery
If the insured has rights to recover all or
part of any payment, including
Supplementary Payments, we have made
under this Coverage Part, those rights are
transferred to us. The insured must do
nothing after loss to impair them. At our
request, the insured will bring "suit" or
transfer those rights to us and help us
enforce them. This condition does not
apply to Medical Expenses Coverage.
b. Waiver Of Rights Of Recovery (Waiver
Of Subrogation)
If the insured has waived any rights of
recovery against any person or
organization for all or part of any payment,
including Supplementary Payments, we
have made under this Coverage Part, we
also waive that right, provided the insured
waived their rights of recovery against
such person or organization in a contract,
agreement or permit that was executed
prior to the injury or damage.
