Arizona pursuant to A.R.S. § 20-206, as amended, with an AM Best, Inc. rating of A or above, and 
with policies and forms satisfactory to the City.  Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein 
may result in termination of this Agreement at the City’s option.

No Representation of Coverage Adequacy.  By requiring insurance 
herein, the City does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect Vendor.  
The City reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies and/or endorsements 
cited in this Agreement but has no obligation to do so.  Failure to demand such evidence of full 
compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this Agreement or failure to identify any 
insurance deficiency shall not relieve Vendor from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its 
obligation to maintain the required insurance at all times during the performance of this 
Agreement. 
c. 
Additional Insured.  All insurance coverage and self-insured 
retention or deductible portions, except Workers’ Compensation insurance and Professional 
Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name, to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims

deductible or self-insured retention amount.

Use of Subcontractors.  If any work under this Agreement is 
subcontracted in any way, Vendor shall execute written agreements with its subcontractors 
containing the indemnification provisions and insurance requirements set forth herein protecting 
the City and Vendor.  Vendor shall be responsible for executing any agreements with its 
subcontractors and obtaining certificates of insurance verifying the insurance requirements. 
i. 
Evidence of Insurance.   Prior to commencing any work or services 
under this Agreement, Vendor will provide the City with suitable evidence of insurance in the 
form of certificates of insurance and a copy of the declaration page(s) of the insurance policies

do not alter any of the information required by this Agreement. The City shall reasonably rely 
upon the certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) of the insurance policies as evidence 
of coverage but such acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter in any way the insurance 
requirements or obligations of this Agreement.  In the event any insurance policy required by this 
Agreement is written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall extend for two years past 
completion of the Equipment and Services and the City’s acceptance of the Vendor’s work or 
services and as evidenced by annual certificates of insurance.  If any of the policies required by

forward renewal certificates and declaration page(s) to the City 30 days prior to the expiration 
date.  All certificates of insurance and declarations required by this Agreement shall be identified
