Insurance Requirements | Special Event & Facility Rental 
 
Insurance will be required when an individual, group, organization or business conducts 
an event utilizing Town of Wickenburg facilities and/or when any of the following applies: 
 
• The general public is invited to attend, observe and/or participate.  
• Sales of merchandise and/or food will take place. 
• Selling, Serving or Holding a Liquor License (Liquor Liability). 
• Use or inflatables, mechanical devices, aircraft, racing and rodeos.  
 
Insurer Qualifications. Without limiting any obligations or liabilities of the Special Event 
Organizer or Facility Renter (“Renter”), the Renter shall purchase and maintain, at its own 
expense, hereinafter stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies duly 
licensed by the State of Arizona with an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies 
and forms satisfactory to the Town. Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may 
result in termination of services at the Town’s option.  
 
No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance herein, the Town does 
not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect the Renter. The Town 
reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies and/or endorsements but 
has no obligation to do so. Failure to demand such evidence of full compliance with the 
insurance requirements or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve the 
Renter from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the 
required insurance at all times during the performance of work for the Town of 
Wickenburg. 
 
Insurance Requirements. Renter and subcontractors shall procure and maintain until all 
of their obligations have been discharged, including any warranty periods, are satisfied, 
insurance against claims for injury to persons or damage to property which may arise 
from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the Renter, his 
agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors.  
  
The insurance requirements herein are minimum requirements and in no way limit the 
indemnity covenants. The Town in no way warrants that the minimum limits contained 
herein are sufficient to protect the Renter from liabilities that might arise out of the 
performance of the work by the Renter, its agents, representatives, employees or 
subcontractors, and Renter is free to purchase additional insurance. If the Department, 
Risk Manager or Town Manager determines that the nature of the work poses extra risk, 
the Town may require greater insurance coverage.

Acceptability of Insurers. Insurance is to be placed with duly licensed or approved non-

The Town in no way warrants that the above-required minimum insurer rating is sufficient 
to protect the Renter from potential insurer insolvency.

liability insurance policy, as well as any amendments or riders in order to verify contractual 
insurance requirements are being satisfied.

Town’s Facility Rental Department before date of service. Each insurance 
policy required must be in effect at or prior to commencement and remain in

insurance policies at any time.
