obligations from others as required, Design Professional shall be fully responsible for all

successors, assigns or heirs of Design Professional and shall survive the termination of this
Agreement or this section.

2010 with an edition prior to 1992, or an equivalent. Design Professional also agrees to require

G. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of
certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured
endorsement to Design Professional'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 may terminate this agreement in accordance with Section 18 of the
Agreement.
H. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to
City of any cancellation of coverage. Design Professional 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.
I. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance
coverage required to be provided by Design Professional or any subcontractor, is intended to
apply first and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self

parry involved with the Services who is brought onto or involved in the Services by Design
Professional, provide the same minimum insurance coverage'required of Design. Professional;

provide professional liability insurance. Design Professional 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. Design Professional agrees that upon request,
all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the Services will be submitted to City
for review.
K. Design Professional agrees not to self - insure or to use any self: insured
retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it
will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, architect, consultant or other entity or person in any
way involved in the performance of work on the Services contemplated by this agreement to
self - insure its obligations to City. If Design Professional's existing coverage includes a
deductible or self - insured retention, the deductible or self - insured retention must be declared to
City. At that time City shall review options with the Design Professional, which may include
reduction or elimination of the deductible or self - insured retention, substitution of other
coverage, or other solutions.
L. 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 Design Professional ninety
(90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in additional cost to the
Design Professional, and City. requires Design Professional to obtain the additional coverage,
City will pay Design Professional the additional cost of the insurance.

OAK #4844 -8147 -5591 v105
M.. 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.

minimum of three years following completion of the Services or termination of this agreement
and, if Design Professional in unable to do so, Design Professional will notify City at least thirty

endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must
be provided to City .within five days of the expiration of the coverages.
Q. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit
the obligations of Design Professional under this agreement. Design Professional expressly
agrees that any statutory immunity defenses under such laws do not apply with respect to City,
its officers, elected officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
R. 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.
S. 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.
T. 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.
U. Design Professional agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract
entered, into by Design Professional in connection with the Services authorizes, or purports to
authorize, any third party to charge City an amount in excess of the fee set forth in the agreement
on account of 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

premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
V. Design Professional agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any
