INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

1.0 REQUIRED INSURANCE POLICIES
At its own expense, Contractor shall obtain, pay for, and maintain – and shall require each of its Subcontractors to obtain and maintain – for the duration of the Agreement, policies of insurance meeting the following requirements:

A. Workers’ Compensation/Employer’s Liability Insurance shall provide workers’ compensation statutory benefits as required by law.

1. Employer’s Liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than:
(a) ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) per accident for bodily injury or disease; (b) ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) per employee for bodily injury or disease; and
(c) ONEMILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) policy limit.

B. Commercial General Liability (“CGL”) (primary). City and its employees and agents shall be added as additional insureds, not limiting coverage for the additional insured to “ongoing operations” or in any way excluding coverage for completed operations. Coverage shall apply on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance, primary or excess, available to City or any employee, representative or agent of City.

Coverage shall not be limited to the vicarious liability or supervisory role of any additional insured. Coverage shall contain no contractors’ limitation or other endorsement limiting the scope of coverage for liability arising from explosion, collapse, or underground property damage.

1. CGL insurance must not be written for less than the limits of liability specified as follows:
(a) TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury (including accidental death) to any one person;
(b) TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000) per occurrence for personal and advertising injury to any one person;
(c) TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000) per occurrence for property damage; and (d) FOURMILLION DOLLARS ($4,000,000) general aggregate limit.

2. CGL insurance must include all major divisions of coverage and must cover:
(a) Premises Operations (including Explosion, Collapse, and Underground [“X,C,U”] coverages as applicable);
(b) Independent Contractor’s Protective;
Golden Gate Steel, Inc. dba Golden Gate Construction

(c) Independent Contractors;
(d) Products and Completed Operations (maintain same limits as above until five (5) years after recordation of Notice of Completion);
(e) Personal and Advertising Injury (with Employer’s Liability Exclusion deleted); (f) Contractual Liability (including specified provision for Contractor’s obligation under Article 11 of the General Conditions); and
(g) Broad Form Property Damage.

3. Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance (over primary), if provided, shall be at least as broad as any underlying coverage. Coverage shall be provided on a “pay on behalf” basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion and no contractor’s limitation endorsement. The policy shall have starting and ending dates concurrent with the underlying coverages. The Named Insured may determine the layering of primary and excess liability insurance provided that if such layering differs from that described here, the actual coverage program meets the minimum total required limits and complies with all other requirements listed here.

C. Business Automobile Liability Insurance

1. Business Automobile Liability Insurance must cover all vehicles, whether rented, leased, hired, scheduled, owned or non-owned. If Contractor does not own any vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned vehicle endorsement to the general and umbrella liability policies. Business Automobile Liability Insurance coverage amounts shall not be less than the following:
(a) ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury (including accidental death) to any one person; and
(b) ONEMILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) per occurrence for property damage; or (c) ONEMILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) combined single limit.

E. Builder’s Risk Insurance

1. Builder’s Risk Insurance covering all real and personal property for “all risks” of loss or “comprehensive perils” coverage including but not limited to the perils of earth movement including earthquake and flood for all buildings, structures, fixtures, materials, supplies, machinery and equipment to be used in or incidental to the construction at the site, off site, or in transit, for the full replacement value of such properties. Coverage shall be included for property of others in the care, custody or control of the insured for which any insuredmay be liable. The City will purchase a builder’s risk policy for the Project instead of a contractor purchased policy. Bidder should not include cost for this coverage in his/her bid.

2.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS—ALL POLICIES
A. Qualifications of Insurer. At all times during the term of this Contract, Contractor’s insurance company must meet all of the following requirements:

2. Domiciled within, and organized under the laws of, a State of the United States; and

3. Carry an A.M. Best & Company minimum rating of “A:VII”.

B. Continuation Coverage.

C. Deductibles or Self-Insured Retentions. All deductibles or self-insured retentions are subject to City’s review and approval, in its sole discretion.

D. Commercial General Liability and Business Automobile insurance policies must be written on an “occurrence” basis and must add the City of Vernon and its officers, agents, employees and representatives as additional insureds.

E. Contractor’s Insurance Primary. Other insurance (whether primary, excess, contingent or selfinsurance, or any other basis) available to City, or its representatives, or both, is excess over Contractor’s insurance.

City’s insurance, or self-insurance, or both, will not contribute with Contractor’s insurance policy.

F. Waiver of Subrogation. Contractor and Contractor’s insurance company waive— and shall not exercise— any right of recovery or subrogation that Contractor or the insurer may have against City, or its representatives, or both.

Golden Gate Steel, Inc. dba Golden Gate Construction

G. Separation of Insureds. Contractor’s insurance policy applies separately to each insured or additional insured who is seeking coverage, or against whom a claim is made or suit is brought, except that the naming of multiple insureds will not increase an insurance company’s limits of liability.

H. Claims by Other Insureds. Contractor’s insurance policy applies to a claim or suit brought by an additional insured against a Named Insured or other insured, arising out of bodily injury, personal injury, advertising injury, or property damage.

I. Premiums. City is not liable for a premium payment or another expense under Contractor’s policy J. At any time during the duration of this Contract, City may do any one or more of the following:

1. Review this Agreement’s insurance coverage requirements;

2. Require that Contractor obtain, pay for, and maintain more insurance depending on City’s assessment of any one or more of the following factors:
(a) City’s risk of liability or exposure arising out of, or in any way connected with, the services of Contractor under this Agreement;

Contractor’s Address:

The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is a portion of the Clean Water Act that applies to the protection of receiving waters. Under permits from the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), certain activities are subject to RWQCB enforcement. To meet the standards of the Waste Discharge Requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharges within the Coastal Watershed of Los Angeles County, Except those Discharges Originating from the City of Long Beach MS4 (CAS004001), the City of Vernon has adopted minimum standards for stormwater runoff from development construction activities.

These minimum standards require the implementation of an effective combination of erosion and sediment control Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent erosion and sediment loss, and the discharge of construction waste at each site. At a minimum, the construction activity associated with the construction project identified above shall be conducted in such a manner that:
¾ Prevents illicit construction-related discharges of pollutants into the MS4 and receiving waters. ¾ Implements and maintains structural and non-structural BMPs to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff from construction sites.
¾ Reduces construction site discharges of pollutants to the MS4 to the maximum extent practicable. ¾ Prevents construction site discharges to the MS4 from causing or contributing to a violation of water quality standards.

Note: The Stormwater BMP Construction Handbook sheets developed by the California Stormwater Quality Association shall be used as guidance in determining and implementing required BMPs. The BMP sheets may be reviewed at the Public Works Department counter during regular business hours. A General Construction Permit shall be obtained and maintained for all construction sites one (1) acre or greater. Additional conditions may be required for these sites. 4/17/24
