shall be fabricated of heavy gauge aluminum. The electrical enclosure shall be
further coated with a TGIF thermoset polyester powder paint finish to provide
protection from oxidation of the aluminum.

For the safety of personnel and protection of the equipment, one grounding lug
shall be supplied within the electrical enclosure, which is rigidly fastened to the
enclosure, sized to accept up to a 1/0 conductor.
D.3. Enclosed Wiring
Because the additional structures often required to support overhead wiring
systems can present safety hazards for players and spectators, all wiring shall be
contained inside the crossarms or the pole. Since the overhead is exposed to
wind, lightning, and other elements causing deterioration over time, underground
wiring, supplied by the installer, shall be enclosed within the pole and concrete

1. The Service Provider will provide, from insurance companies acceptable to the City,
the insurance coverage designated hereinafter and pay all costs. Before
commencing work under this bid, the Service Provider shall furnish the City with
certificates of insurance showing the type, amount, class of operations covered,
effective dates and date of expiration of policies, and containing substantially the
following statement:
"The insurance evidenced by this Certificate will not be cancelled or materially
altered, except after ten (10) days written notice has been received by the City of
Fort Collins."
In case of the breach of any provision of the Insurance Requirements, the City, at its
option, may take out and maintain, at the expense of the Service Provider, such
insurance as the City may deem proper and may deduct the cost of such insurance
from any monies which may be due or become due the Service Provider under this
Agreement. The City, its officers, agents and employees shall be named as
additional insureds on the Service Provider's general liability and automobile liability
insurance policies for any claims arising out of work performed under this
Agreement.
2. Insurance coverages shall be as follows:
A. Workers' Compensation & Employer's Liability. The Service Provider shall
maintain during the life of this Agreement for all of the Service Provider's
employees engaged in work performed under this agreement:

disease aggregate, and $100,000 disease each employee.
B. Commercial General & Vehicle Liability. The Service Provider shall maintain
during the life of this Agreement such commercial general liability and automobile
liability insurance as will provide coverage for damage claims of personal injury,
including accidental death, as well as for claims for property damage, which may
arise directly or indirectly from the performance of work under this Agreement.
Coverage for property damage shall be on a "broad form" basis. The amount of
insurance for each coverage, Commercial General and Vehicle, shall not be less
than $500,000 combined single limits for bodily injury and property damage.
In the event any work is performed by a subcontractor, the Service Provider shall be
responsible for any liability directly or indirectly arising out of the work performed under
