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
