Agreement.

and maintain insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property

be liable only to the extent the Demand or Expense results from the
negligence or breach of a responsibility of Contractor or of any person or
entity for whom Contractor is responsible.

obligations to obtain and verify insurance coverage as otherwise provided in this
Section. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all
required insurance policies, including any endorsements or amendments,
required by this Agreement at any time during the Term stated herein.
Contractor’s failure to obtain, submit or secure the City’s approval of the

delivering the equipment in accordance with the SOW or Quote.

Contractor warrants their compliance and that of its subcontractors with all federal
immigration laws and regulations that relate to their employees and compliance with
the E-verify requirements under A.R.S. § 23-214(A). The Contractor or subcontractor’s
breach of this warranty shall be deemed a material breach of the Agreement and may
result in the termination of the Agreement by the City under the terms of this
Agreement. The City retains the legal right to randomly inspect the papers and records
of the other party to ensure that the other party is complying with the above-mentioned
warranty. The Contractor and subcontractor warrant to keep their respective papers

respective rights to keep such papers and records confidential.
