INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The Concessionaire 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 Concessionaire 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 reduce coverage or limits and will not
be cancelled, except after thirty (30) 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 Concessionaire, 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 Concessionaire under this Agreement. The City, its
officers, agents and employees and the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, a non-
profit partner, shall be named as additional insureds on the Concessionaire's
general, automobile and liquor 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 Concessionaire shall maintain during
the life of this Agreement for all of the Concessionaire'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 Concessionaire 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 $1,000,000 combined single limits for bodily injury and
property damage.
In the event any work is performed by a subcontractor, the Concessionaire 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.
C. $1,000,000 Liquor Liability
