OTHER INSURANCE PROVISIONS/ENDORSEMENTS
The General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
1. The City, its officers, officials, em ployees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds. The Co nsultant shall establish additional insured status for the City and for all ongoing and completed operations under the Commercial General Liability policy by use of ISO Forms or an executed manuscript insurance company endorsement providing additional insured status. The Commercial General endorsements must be as broad
DPU-S Eng. CSA, Short Form T&M – Contingency (04-2022)
as that contained in ISO Forms: GC 20 10 11 85 or both CG 20 10 & CG 20
37. 2. The coverage shall contain no specia l limitations on the scope of protection afforded to the City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits and coverage shall be available to the Additional Insured.
3. For any claims relating to this Agreement, the Consultant ’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance with respect to the City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance or self- insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be excess of the Consultant ’s insurance and shall not contribute with it. The Consultant shall establish primary and non- contributory status by using ISO Form CG 20 01 04 13 or by an executed manuscript insurance company endorsement that provides primary and non-contributory status as broad as that contained in ISO Form CG 20 01 04 13.
The Workers’ Compensation insurance policy is to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provision: the Consultant and its insurer shall waive any right of subrogation against the City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
If the Professional Liability (Errors and Omissions) insurance policy is written on a claims- made form:
1. The retroactive date must be shown, and must be before the effective date of the Agreement or the commencement of work by the Consultant.
2. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five years after completion of the Agreement work or termination of the Agreement, whichever occurs firs t, or, in the alternative, the policy shall be endorsed to provide not less than a five-year discovery period.
3. If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a retroactive date prior to the effective date of the Agreement or the commencement of work by the Consultant, the Consultant must purchase “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of five years completion of the Agre ement work or termination of the Agreement, whichever occurs first.
4. A copy of the claims reporting requirements must be submitted to the City for review.
5. These requirements shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement.
