General Liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to Consultant’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 (11/ 85) or both CG 20 10 and CG 20 37 forms, if later editions are used).

Notice of Cancellation Each insurance policy shall state that coverage shall not be canceled or allowed to expire, except with written notice to City 30 days in advance or 10 days in advance if due to non-payment of premiums. Waiver of Subrogation Consultant waives any right to subrogation against City/Additional Insureds for recovery of damages to the extent said losses are covered by the insurance policies required herein. Specifically, the Workers’ Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of City for all work performed by Consultant, its employees, agents and subconsultants. This provision applies regardless of whether or not the City has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer. Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions Any deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to and approved by the City. At City’s option, either: the insurer must reduce or eliminate the deductible or self-insured retentions as respects the City/Additional Insureds; or Consultant must show proof of ability to pay losses and costs related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses.

Subconsultants Consultant shall require and verify that all subconsultants maintain insurance that meet the requirements of this Contract, including naming the City as an additional insured on subconsultant’s insurance policies. Higher Insurance Limits If Consultant maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, City shall be entitled to coverage for the higher insurance limits maintained by Consultant.
