Agreement. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies
of all required insurance policies, at anytime.
B. City's Right to Revise Requirements. City reserves the right at any time
during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of
insurance required by giving College sixty (60) calendar days' advance
written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to College, City and College may renegotiate College's
compensation, if any.
C. Enforcement of Agreement Provisions. College acknowledges and
agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform
College of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional
obligations on 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 College
maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City
requires and shall be entitled to coverage for higher limits maintained by
the College. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified
minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
E. Self-insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to
and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured
retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-
insurance will not be considered to comply with these requirements
unless approved by City.
Orange County EMT Page B-3
F. City Remedies for Non -Compliance. If College or any sub consultant fails
to provide and maintain insurance as required herein, then City shall
have the right but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance, to
terminate this Agreement, or to suspend College's right to proceed until
proper evidence of insurance is provided. Any amounts paid by City shall,
at City's sole option, be deducted from amounts payable to College or
reimbursed by College upon demand.
G. Timely Notice of Claims. College shall give City prompt and timely notice
of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from College's
performance under this Contract, and that involve or may involve
coverage under any of the required liability policies. City assumes no
obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty)
to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to
involve City.
H. Colleqe's Insurance. College shall also procure and maintain, at its own
cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own
judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of
the Work.
