the City of any proposed cancellation. Certificates of insurance evidencing the
foregoing and designating the City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and
volunteers as additional named insureds by original endorsement shall be delivered to
and approved by the City prior to commencement of services. The procuring of such
insurance and the delivery of policies, certificates, and endorsements evidencing the
same shall not be construed as a limitation of Consultant's obligation to indemnify the
City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees, and volunteers.
A. Minimum Scope of Insurance. The minimum amount of insurance
required hereunder shall be as follows:
1. Comprehensive general liability and personal injury with limits of at

be primary insurance as respects the City and its respective elected officials, officers,
employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the
City and its respective elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers
shall be in excess of Consultant's insurance and shall not contribute with it. For
Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance only, the insurer shall waive
all rights of subrogation and contribution it may have against the City, its elected
officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.

(2) to maintain professional liability insurance coverage with the same carrier, or
equivalent coverage with another company, in the amount required by this Agreement
for at least three years after completion of Consultant's services under this Agreement.
Consultant shall also be required to provide evidence to the City of the purchase of the
required tail insurance or continuation of the professional liability policy.
C. Sufficiency of Insurers. Insurance required herein shall be provided by
authorized insurers in good standing with the State of California. Coverage shall be
provided by insurers admitted in the State of California with an A.M. Best's Key Rating
of B++, Class VII, or better, unless otherwise acceptable to the City.
D. Verification of Coverage. Consultant shall furnish the City with both
certificates of insurance and endorsements, including additional insured endorsements,
effecting all of the coverages required by this Agreement. The certificates and
endorsements are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage
on its behalf. All proof of insurance is to be received and approved by the City before
work commences. The City reserves the right to require Consultant'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:
1. "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).
2. "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).
3. "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.
4. Both the Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability policies shall
contain the insurer's waiver of subrogation in favor of the City, its elected officials,
officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.
14 Revised:3/02/07
507639.2
In addition to the endorsements listed above, the City of Palm Springs shall be named
the certificate holder on the policies.
All certificates of insurance and endorsements are to be received and approved by the
City before work commences. All certificates of insurance must be authorized by a
person with authority to bind coverage, whether that is the authorized agent/broker or
insurance underwriter. Failure to obtain the required documents prior to the
commencement of work shall not waive the Consultant's obligation to provide them.
E. Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductibles or self-
insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City prior to commencing
any work or services under this Agreement. At the option of the City, either the insurer
shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects the
City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers; or, Consultant
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. Consultant
guarantees payment of all deductibles and self-insured retentions.
F. Severability of Interests (Separation of Insureds). This insurance
applies separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought except
