INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS

Certificates of Insurance

The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance.

You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached samp le accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start-up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificat es to the insured for clarification as to the contract number.

Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. M odifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate th e carrier to provide notice of cancellation.

Endorsement Forms

Original endorsements are required for commercial general liabilit y and business automobile liability insurance policies and mu st be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preferen ce is that the Consultant/insurer use the endorsement forms which are attached.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS

Certificates of Insurance

The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance.

You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start- up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number .

Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the poli cy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.

Endorsement Forms

Original endorsements are required for commercial general liability and business automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that the Consultant/insurer use the endorsement f orms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the sample accord form.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS Ce
rtificates of Insurance
The
sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance.

You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start-up date because the City’s p ractice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number.

Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.

En
dorsement Forms
Or
iginal endorsements are required for commercial general liability and business automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that the Consultant/insurer use the endorsement forms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the sample accord form.

Methods used will involve the use of GPS, CORS sites, and differing datum's (NAD27, NAD83, NGVD29, or NAVD88).

Construction Surveying: Construction surveying provides the basis for proper placement of improvements. This type of surveying is needed at all stages of the construction process in an effort to insure that the final product meets all the design requirements for placement, elevation and alignment.

Monument Preservation: This function of surveying involves research to determine the existence of survey points of record, field investigation to locate monuments of record and not of record, setting of reference points, filing of records with the County of Ventura, resetting survey points to replace those missing or destroyed.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS

The defense obligation includes the obligation to provide independent defense counsel if Consultant asserts t hat the liability is caused in whole or in part by the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnitees.

a. The review, acceptance or approval of Consultant’s work or work product by any of the Indemnitees shall not affect, relieve or reduce Consu ltant’s indemnification or defense obligations. This Section 14 shall survive completion of the Services or termination of this Agreement.

Consultant shall obtain and maintain during the performance of any services under this Agreement the insurance coverages listed within the insurance document stated in “(9) Insurance Coverage” on the Cover Page and in the Insurance Exhibit, which is atta ched hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, unless the City’s Risk Manager waives, in writing, the requirement that Consultant obtain and maintain such insurance coverages. Consultant shall, before performance of any Services, file with the City’s Risk Manager evidence of insurance coverage as specified in “(9) Insurance Coverage” on the Cover Page and in the Insurance Exhibit.

16. Documents and Materials.

a. All final computations, exhibits, files, plans, correspondence, reports, drawings, designs, data, photographs, specifications, information, images, video files, media, or other deliverables prepared, created, drawn, calculated, photographed or developed by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement (“Documents and Materials”) shall be the City’s property without restriction or limitation upon its use, duplication or dissemination.

c.

d. Consultant warrants and represents that it has secured all necessary licenses, consents or approvals to use any instrumentality, thing or component as to which any intellectual property right exists, including computer software, used in the rendering of the Services and the production of all Documents and Materials, and that the City has full legal title to and the right to use, duplicate or disseminate the Documents and Materials. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold Indemnitees harmless from any loss, claim or liability in any way related to a claim that City’s use of any of the Documents and Materials is violating federal, state or local laws, any contractual provisions, or any laws relating to trade names, licenses, franchises, copyrights, patents or other means of protecting intellectual property rights and/or interests in products or inventions. Consultant shall bear all costs arising from the use of patented, copyrighted, trade secret or trademarked documents, materials, equipment, devices or p rocesses in connection with its provision of the services and Documents and Materials. In the event the use of any of the Documents and Materials by the City is held to constitute an infringement and the use of any of the same is enjoined, Consultant, at its own expense, shall: secure for City the right to continue using the Documents and Materials by suspension of any injunction, or by procuring a license or licenses for City; or modify the Documents and Materials so that they become non-infringing while remaining in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS

Certificates of Insurance

The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance.

You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information com pleted. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start- up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endo rsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.

Endorsement Forms

Original endorsements are required for commercial general liability and business automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that the Consultant/insurer use the endorsement form s which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the sample accord form.
