before the City’s own primary insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a
named insured. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its directors, officials,

officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers for losses paid under the terms of the
insurance policy which arise from work performed by the Contractor.
(D) All Coverages. Each insurance policy required by this
Agreement shall be endorsed to state that: (A) coverage shall not be suspended, voided, reduced
or canceled except after thirty (30) days (10 days for nonpayment of premium) prior written
notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the City; and (B) any failure
to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies, including breaches of warranties,
shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its directors, officials, officers, employees, agents
and volunteers. Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies
including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officials,
officers, employees, agents and volunteers, or any other additional insureds.

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 City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers, or any other
additional insureds, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from
each of its subconsultants.
3.2.11.5 Deductibles and Self-Insurance Retentions. Any
deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. Contractor
shall guarantee that, at the option of the City, either: (1) the insurer shall reduce or eliminate
such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects the City, its directors, officials, officers,
employees, agents and volunteers; or (2) the Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing
payment of losses and related investigation costs, claims and administrative and defense
expenses.
3.2.11.6 Subcontractor Insurance Requirements. Contractor shall
not allow any subcontractors to commence work on any subcontract relating to the work under
