INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
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:
1. Workers' Compensation insurance with statutory limits as required
by Colorado law.
2. Employer's Liability insurance with limits of $100,000 per accident,
$500,000 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 this Agreement by a
subcontractor, which liability is not covered by the subcontractor's insurance.
