whom Contractor is responsible, Contractor shall bear the responsibility of the

its subcontractors from entering the Project site until such certificates or other
evidence that insurance has been placed in complete compliance with these
requirements is received and approved by City.

in favor of the City. A waiver of subrogation shall be effective as to a person or

insurable interest in the property damaged.

higher than normal hazards and, to require Contractor to name additional
parties in interest to be Additional Insureds.

i)
In the event that rental of equipment is undertaken by Contractor or any
Subcontractor to complete and/or perform the Work, Contractor agrees that
