13.7 Prior to commencement of work under this AGREEMENT, CONTRACTOR shall furnish to the Contract Officer proof of the insurance required in this section. Failure by the Contract Officer to object to the contents of the certificate and/or policy endorsement or the absence of same shall not be deemed a waiver of any and all rights held by the CITY. Failure on the part of CONTRACTOR to procure or maintain in full force the required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which the CITY may exercise any rights it has in law or equity including, but not limited to, terminating this AGREEMENT pursuant to Paragraph 7.1 above.
13.8 The CITY reserves the right to review the insurance requirements of this section during the effective period of the AGREEMENT and to modify insurance coverages and their limits when deemed necessary and prudent by City's Risk Manager based upon economic conditions, recommendation of professional insurance advisors, changes in statutory law, court decisions or other relevant factors. The CONTRACTOR agrees to make any reasonable request for the deletion, revision, or modification of particular insurance policy terms, conditions, limitations, or exclusions (except where those policy provisions are established by law, or are established by regulations that are binding upon either party to the contract, or are binding upon the underwriter to the contract).
Upon request by CITY, CONTRACTOR shall exercise reasonable efforts to accomplish such changes in policy coverages and shall pay the cost thereof.
13.9 Any deductibles or self-insured retentions are the responsibility of CONTRACTOR and must be declared to and approved by the CITY. At the CITY's option, the CONTRACTOR shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.
13.10 CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY a waiver of any right to subrogation that any insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.
