The Provider will, at its sole expense, procure and maintain for the duration of this
Agreement and 30 days thereafter insurance against claims for injuries to persons or
damage to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of this
Agreement by the Provider, its agents, representatives, or employees.
Provider's maintenance of insurance as required by the Agreement will not be construed
to limit the liability of the Provider to the coverage provided by such insurance, or
otherwise limit the City's recourse to any remedy available at law or in equity.
The Service Provider shall obtain insurance of the types described below:
a. Automobile Liability insurance covering all owned, non-owned, hired and leased
vehicles. Coverage will be at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (ISO) form
CA 00 01 (provider may use a substitute form providing equivalent liability coverage).

the Provider's Commercial General Liability insurance policy and will be written with
limits no less than $1,000,000 each occurrence, $1,000,000 general aggregate.
For Automobile Liability and Commercial General Liability insurance, the policies are to
contain, or be endorsed to contain that Provider's insurance coverage shall be primary
insurance as respects the City. Any insurance, self-insurance, or insurance pool coverage
maintained by the City shall be excess of the Provider's insurance and shall not contribute
with it.
On request, the Provider shall furnish the City with certificates of insurance and a copy of
the amendatory endorsements, including but not necessarily limited to the additional

insured endorsement, evidencing the insurance requirements of the Provider before
commencement of the services.
Failure on the part of the Provider to maintain the insurance as required will constitute a
material breach of contract, upon which the City may, after giving five business days'
notice to the Provider to correct the breach, immediately terminate the Agreement or, at its
discretion, procure or renew such insurance and pay any and all premiums in connection
therewith, with any sums so expended to be repaid to the City on demand, or at the sole
discretion of the City, offset against funds due the Provider from the City.
Maintenance of insurance as required by this Agreement shall not be construed to limit the
liability of Provider to the coverage provided by such insurance, or otherwise limit the
City's recourse to any remedy available at law or in equity.
11. Indemnification/Hold Harmless
a) General. Except for injuries and damages caused by the sole negligence of the City, the
Provider shall defend, indemnify and hold the City and its officers, officials, employees,
and volunteers harmless from any and all claims, injuries, damages, losses, or suits of
every kind, including attorney fees and litigation expenses, arising out of or in connection
with any alleged act, omission, professional error, fault, mistake, or negligence of the
Provider, its employees, agents, representatives, or subcontractors, arising out of the
performance and obligations contained in this Agreement including any copyright
infringements for musical performance, or arising out of worker's compensation,

Agreement shall be valid or of any effect unless made in writing, signed by the party or
parties to be bound, or the party's or parties' duly authorized representative(s) and

waiver. Any waiver, approval or acceptance, or payment by any party shall not affect or
