If Contractor believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Contractor will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Contra ctor deems adequate, at Contractor's sole expense.
The full limits available to the named insured shall also be available and applicable to the City as an additional insured.

The cumulative total for all projects allowed pursuant to this Agreement will not exceed seven hundred thousand dollars ($700,000).
