out of or in connection with the Agreement or COTS' failure to comply with any of the terms of
this Agreement.

Liability and determines that COTS is not or may not be liable. COTS must respond within
thirty (30) calendar days to any tender by the City, unless the time for responding has been
extended by an authorized representative of the City in writing. If COTS fails to timely accept

Re:
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, COTS will maintain insurance in

requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here, COTS agrees to
amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so. COTS acknowledges that the insurance
coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required.
Any insurance proceeds available to City in excess of the limits and coverage required in this agreement
and which is applicable to a given loss, will be available to C'ity.
COTS shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office "Commercial General Liability" policy form

liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits are subject to review but in
no event less than :$2,000.000 (Two Million Dollars) per occurrence.
Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 0001 including symbol 1 (Any Auto)
or the exact equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no event to be less than $2,000,000 (Two
Million Dollars) per accident. If COTS owns no vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non -
owned auto endorsement to the general liability policy described above. If COTS or COTS' employees
will use personal autos in any way on this project, COTS shall provide evidence of personal auto liability
coverage for each such person.
Workers Compensation on a state -approved policy form providing statutory benefits as required by law
with employer's liability limits no less than $1,000,000 (One Million Dollars) per accident or disease.
Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit requirements, shall provide
coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages. Any such coverage provided under
an umbrella liability policy shall include a drop down provision providing primary coverage: above a
maximum $25,000 self-insured retention for liability not covered by primary but covered by the umbrella.
Coverage shall be provided on a "pay on behalf' basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy

requiring actual payment by the insured first. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding
coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to City for
injury to employees of COTS, subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope of coverage
provided is subject to approval of City following receipt of proof of insurance as required herein. Limits
are subject to review but in no event less than $2,000,000 (Two Million Dollars) per occurrence.

General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by COTS. COTS and City agree to the
following with respect to insurance provided by COTS.
1. COTS agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to
include as additional insureds the City, its officers, elected officials, employees, agents, and
volunteers using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 20 10 or an approved equivalent. If completed
operations coverage is excluded, the policy must be endorsed to include such coverage. COTS also
agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit COTS, or
COTS' employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. COTS 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. The worker's compensation policy is to be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation. The insurance
company, in its endorsement, agrees to waive all rights of subrogation against the City, its officers,
elected officials, employees, agents, and volunteers for losses paid under the terms of this policy
which arise from the work performed by the named insured for the City.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional
requirements by the City, as the need arises. COTS 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.
8. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance
evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to COTS' 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 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
12086041 80078/0012v2012-09
pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by COTS or
deducted from sums due COTS, at City option.
9. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of
coverage. COTS 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.
10. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be
provided by COTS 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.
11. COTS agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is
brought onto or involved in the project by COTS, provide the same minimum insurance coverage
required of COTS. COTS 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. COTS agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged
in the project will be submitted to City for review.
12. COTS 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, 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 COTS' 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 COTS, which may
include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other
coverage, or other solutions.
13. 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 COTS ninety (90) days advance written notice of such
change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to COTS, the City will negotiate
additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
14. 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.
15. COTS acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform
COTS 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.
16. COTS 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.
[17]
12086040 80078/0012v2012-09
17. COTS 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 COTS' 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 days of the expiration of the coverages.
18. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of COTS
under this agreement. COTS expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under
such laws with respect to City, its officers, elected officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. COTS 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 COTS 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.
23. COTS agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against COTS 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.
