City of Santa Clarita (City). By agreeing to perform the work or submitting a proposal, you verify that you
comply with and agree to be bound by these requirements. If any additional Contract documents are
executed, the actual Indemnity language and Insurance Requirements may include additional provisions
as deemed appropriate by City's Purchasing Agent.
The City reserves the sole right to accept or reject any requests for modifications to these terms.
2. You should check with your Insurance advisors to verify compliance and determine if additional
coverage or limits may be needed to adequately insure your obligations under this agreement. These are
the minimum required and do not in any way represent or imply that such coverage is sufficient to
adequately cover the Contractor's liability under this agreement. The full coverage and limits afforded
under Contractor's policies of Insurance shall be available to Buyer and these Insurance Requirements
shall not in any way act to reduce coverage that is broader or includes higher limits than those required.
The Insurance obligations under this agreement shall be: 1—all the Insurance coverage and limits carried
by or available to the Contractor; or 2—the minimum Insurance requirements shown in this agreement,
whichever is greater. Any insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits and coverage
required, which are applicable to a given loss, shall be available to City.
3. Contractor shall furnish the City with original Certificates of Insurance including all required amendatory
endorsements and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsement Page of the CGL policy listing all policy
endorsements to City before work begins. City reserves the right to require full -certified copies of all
Insurance coverage and endorsements.
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

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.

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

of California and which shall indemnify, insure and provide legal defense for both the CONTRACTOR and
the CITY against any loss, claim or damage arising from any injuries or occupational diseases happening
to any worker employed by the CONTRACTOR in the course of carrying out the work within the
Agreement. Such insurance shall also contain a waiver of subrogation naming the City of Santa Clarita.
Automotive Insurance
The CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain, at its sole expense, throughout the term of this Agreement,
and any extension thereof, public liability and property damage insurance coverage for automotive
equipment with coverage limits of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident. All
such insurance shall be primary insurance and shall name the City of Santa Clarita as an additional insured.
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

require that self -insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance

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.

A5) Minor vegetation removal within the project footprint is allowed. The Contractor must refer to the
plans and confirm with the City Representative before removing any existing vegetation not clearly
marked for demolition.
