City reserves the right to require Contractor’s insurers to provide complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time. Additional insured endorsements are not required for Errors and Omissions and Workers’ Compensation policies. Verification of Insurance coverage may be provided by: (1) an approved General and/or Auto Liability Endorsement Form for the City of Palm Springs or (2) an acceptable Certificate of Liability Insurance Coverage with an approved Additional Insured Endorsement with the following endorsements stated on the certificate: A. "The City of Palm Springs, its officials, employees, and agents are named as an additional insured…” ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No.___" or "for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement). B. "This insurance is primary and non-contributory over any insurance or self- insurance the City may have..." ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No.___" or "for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement). C. "Should any of the above-described policies be canceled before the expiration date thereof, the issuing company will mail 30 days written notice to the Certificate Holder named." Language such as, “endeavor to” mail and "but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representative" is not acceptable and must be crossed out.

In addition to the endorsements listed above, the City of Palm Springs shall be named the certificate holder on the policies.

At the option of the City, either (1) the insurer shall reduc e or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to the City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers; or (2) Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses. Certificates of Insurance must include evidence of the amount of any deductible or self-insured retention under the policy. Contractor guarantees payment of all deductibles and self-insured retentions. 8. Severability of Interests (Separation of Insureds). This insurance applies separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 1514A7A8-9936-4776-AC1A-33F43637328F Hi Leigh, These are the specs I sent to Ken Lyon to describe the HSPB project. As I mentioned we have done this project for years practically pro bono. Since an rfp is now required I wrote this brief so it could be used to write the rfp. I am not planning to purchase an insurance policy in order to be able to offer my and my volunteer’s services. We have been individual volunteers and our reimbursement has been minimal. If that means another insured person will need to be doing the project, please let me know asap so we can quit and forward the materials they will need to finish the work. We will be happy to hand it off. Scope of Work: Task 1: Create a new program title logo for use on all media related to the event. Task 2: Create graphic for use on the City-managed home page. Task 3: Create overall coordinated “look” for the audio-visual program on two days of programming that integrates the individual presenters’ powerpoint files. Task 4: Create “sizzle video” for use in advertising the program on the City Municipal Government Access TV Channel (Chanel 17), City website, and other means of promoting the event. Task 5: Create a graphic file for producing the printed program. Task 6: Create master audio-visual program. Task 7: Provide audio visual oversight to program operator on the 2 days of the event.
