3833•, -J
B. Commercial general liability insurance will meet or exceed the requirements of
ISO -CGL Form No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88. The amount of insurance set forth
above will be a combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal
injury, and property damage for the policy coverage. Liability policies will be
endorsed to name City, its officials, and employees as "additional insureds" under
said insurance coverage and to state that such insurance will be deemed "primary"
such that any other insurance that may be carried by City will be excess thereto.
Such insurance will be on an "occurrence," not a "claims made," basis and will
not be cancelable or subject to reduction except upon thirty (30) days prior written
notice to City.

equivalent to at least a Rating of "A:VII." Certificate(s) must reflect that the
insurer will provide thirty (30) day notice of any cancellation of coverage.
CONTRACTOR will require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any
exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of
cancellation imposes no obligation, and to delete the word "endeavor" with regard
to any notice provisions.
E. Should CONTRACTOR, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance
required by this Agreement, City may obtain such coverage at CONTRACTOR's
expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to
CONTRACTOR under this Agreement or terminate.
7. TIME FOR PERFORMANCE. CONTRACTOR will not perform any work under this
Agreement until:
A. CONTRACTOR furnishes proof of insurance as required under Section 6 of this
Agreement; and
B. CITY gives CONTRACTOR a written Notice to Proceed.
C. Should CONTRACTOR begin work in advance of receiving written authorization
to proceed, any such professional services are at CONTRACTOR's own risk.

CITY at least thirty (30) days before the effective termination date.

damages that might otherwise arise from CITY's termination under this Section.

A. CONTRACTOR indemnifies and holds CITY harmless from and against any
claim, action, damages, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's
fees and penalties), injuries, or liability, arising out of this Agreement, or its
performance including, without limitation, damages or penalties arising from
CONTRACTOR's removal, remediation, response or other plan concerning any
Hazardous Waste resulting in the release of any hazardous substance into the
environment. Should CITY be named in any suit, or should any claim be brought
against it by suit or otherwise, whether the same be groundless or not, arising out
of this Agreement, or its performance, CONTRACTOR will defend CITY (at
CITY's request and with counsel satisfactory to CITY) and will indemnify CITY
for any judgment rendered against it or any sums paid out in settlement or
otherwise.
B. For purposes of this section "CITY" includes CITY's officers, officials,
employees, agents, representatives, and volunteers.
C. CONTRACTOR expressly agrees that this release, waiver, and indemnity
agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of
the State of California and that if any portion is held invalid, it is agreed that the
balance will, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.
D. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions will survive
termination of this Agreement.
E. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be
maintained by CONTRACTOR as required by this Agreement, and any approval
of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or
qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONTRACTOR
pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions
concerning indemnification.
9. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and CONTRACTOR agree that
CONTRACTOR will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the
manner in which is it performed. CONTRACTOR will be free to contract for similar service to

be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY. CONTRACTOR is not an
agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance,
bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that
may appear to give CITY the right to direct CONTRACTOR as to the details of doing the work
or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONTRACTOR will follow the
direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.
