agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform
Contractor of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional
obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
4. Requirements not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or
limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on
coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage
normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given
coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a
given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive,

insurance policies, at any time.
B. City's Right to Revise Requirements. The City reserves the right at any
time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of

additional cost to the Contractor, the City and Contractor may renegotiate
Contractor's compensation.
C. Enforcement of Contract Provisions. Contractor acknowledges and agrees
that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform
Contractor of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional
obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
D. Requirements not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features
or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on
coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage
normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given
coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a
given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive,
or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the
