Other Insurance Provisions
The general liability and automobile liability policies shall contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
Additional Insured Endorsement:
General Liability: The City, its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees, and volunteers shall be covered as insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the Consultant. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Consultant's insurance, or as a separate owner's policy.

For any claims related to this project, the Consultant's insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects the City, its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees, and volunteers.

9. California Labor Code Sections 1860 and 3700 provide that every employer will be required to secure the payment of compensation to its employees. In accordance with the provisions of California Labor Code Section 1861, Consultant hereby certifies as follows:
“I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers' compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.”
