I. INDEMNIFICATION:

City and its respective elected and appointed boards, officials, officers, agents, employees, and volunteers (individually and collectively, "Indemnitees") shall have no liability to CONTRACTOR or any other person for, and CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Indemnitees from and against, any and all liabilities, claims, actions, causes of action, proceedings, suits, damages, judgments, liens, levies, costs, and expenses of whatever nature, including reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements (collectively, "Claims), which Indemnitees may suffer or incur or to which Indemnitees may become subject by reason of or arising out of any injury to or death of any person(s), damage to property, loss of use of property, economic loss, or otherwise occurring as a result of or allegedly caused by the CONTRACTOR'S performance of or failure to perform any services under this Agreement, or by the negligent or willful acts or omissions of CONTRACTOR, its agents, officers, directors, or employees, committed in performing any of the services under this Agreement.

If any action or proceeding is brought against Indemnitees by reason of any of the matters against which CONTRACTOR has agreed to indemnify Indemnitees as provided above, CONTRACTOR, upon notice from City, shall defend Indemnitees at its expense by counsel acceptable to City, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld. Indemnitees need not have first paid for any of the matters to which Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification in order to be so indemnified. The limits of the insurance required to be maintained by CONTRACTOR in this Agreement shall not limit the liability of CONTRACTOR hereunder. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this agreement.

The provisions of this section do not apply to Claims occurring as a result of the City's active negligence or acts of omission.

II. INSURANCE
CONTRACTOR shall maintain and submit certificates of all applicable insurance including, but not limited to, the following and as otherwise required by law. The terms of the insurance policy or policies issued to provide the above insurance coverage shall provide that said insurance may not be amended or canceled by the carrier, for non-payment of premiums or otherwise, without thirty (30) days prior written notice of amendment or cancellation to the CITY. In the event the said insurance is canceled, the CONTRACTOR shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit to the City Clerk new evidence of insurance in the amounts established.

Liability Insurance
During the entire term of this Agreement, the CONTRACTOR agrees to procure and maintain General Liability insurance at its sole expense to protect against loss from liability imposed by law for damages on account of bodily injury, including death therefrom, suffered or alleged to be suffered by any person or persons whomsoever, resulting directly or indirectly from any act or activities, errors or omissions, of the CITY, or CONTRACTOR or any person acting for the CITY, or under its control or direction, and also to protect against loss from liability imposed by law for damages to any property of any person caused directly or indirectly by or from acts or activities of the CITY, or CONTRACTOR or any person acting for the CITY, or under its control or direction. Such public liability and property damage insurance shall also provide for and protect the CITY against incurring any legal cost in defending claims for alleged loss. Such General, Public and Professional liability and property damage insurance shall be maintained in full force and effect throughout the term of the Agreement and any extension thereof in the amount indicated above or the following minimum limits:

All such insurance shall be primary insurance and shall name the City of Santa Clarita as an additional insured.

Builder's Risk

The Builder's Risk coverage shall include the coverages as specified below:

The named insureds shall be CONTRACTOR and CITY, including its officers, officials, employees, and agents. All subcontractors (excluding those solely responsible for design work) of any tier and suppliers shall be included as additional insureds as their interests may appear.

The policy shall contain a provision that all proceeds from the Builder's Risk Policy shall be made payable to the CITY. The CITY will act as a fiduciary for all other interests in the Project.

Policy shall be provided for replacement value on an "all risk" basis for the completed value of the project.

Professional Liability (if Design-Build)

If CONTRACTOR cannot provide an occurrence policy, CONTRACTOR shall provide insurance covering claims made as a result of performance of work on this Project and shall maintain such insurance in effect for not less than three years following final completion of the Project.

Waiver of Subrogation
All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow CONTRACTOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against the CITY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Separation of Insureds
A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that CONTRACTOR'S insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer's limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass Through Clause
CONTRACTOR agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by CONTRACTOR, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. CONTRACTOR agrees that upon request, all Agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to the CITY for review.

Self-Insured Retentions
Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the CITY. The CITY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the CITY.

Primary and Additional Insured
All of such insurance shall be primary and shall name the City of Santa Clarita as additional insured. A Certificate of Insurance and an additional insured endorsement (for general and automobile liability), evidencing the above insurance coverage with a company acceptable to the City's Purchasing Agent shall be submitted to the CITY prior to execution of this Agreement on behalf of the CITY.

Requirements
Should CONTRACTOR, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance required by this Agreement, CITY may obtain coverage at CONTRACTOR'S expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to CONTRACTOR under this Agreement or terminate. In the alternative, should CONTRACTOR fail to meet any of the insurance requirements under this Agreement, CITY may cancel the Agreement immediately with no penalty.

Should CONTRACTOR'S insurance required by this Agreement be canceled at any point prior to expiration of the policy, CONTRACTOR must notify CITY within 24 hours of receipt of notice of cancelation.

Furthermore, CONTRACTOR must obtain replacement coverage that meets all contractual requirements within 10 days of the prior insurer's issuance of notice of cancelation. CONTRACTOR must ensure that there is no lapse in coverage.

If the operation under this Agreement results in an increased or decreased risk in the opinion of the City's Purchasing Agent, then the CONTRACTOR agrees that the minimum limits herein above designated shall be changed accordingly upon request by the City's Purchasing Agent.

The CONTRACTOR agrees that provisions of this paragraph as to maintenance of insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the CONTRACTOR may be held responsible for the payment of damages to persons or property resulting from the CONTRACTOR'S activities or the activities of any person or persons for which the CONTRACTOR is otherwise responsible.

I have read and understand the above requirements and agree to be bound by them for any work performed for the City.
