INSURANCE:

and maintain during the Term the insurance required by this Agreement with 
companies duly licensed, possessing a current A.M. Best, Inc. Rating of B++6, or 
approved unlicensed in the State of Arizona with policies and forms satisfactory 
to City. 
All insurance required by this Agreement shall be maintained in full force and 
5

effect until the Services are accepted by the City. Failure to do so may, at the sole 
discretion of City, constitute a material breach of this Agreement. 
Contractor’s insurance shall be primary insurance as respects the City, and any 
insurance or self-insurance maintained by City shall not contribute to it. 
Any failure to comply with the claim reporting provisions of the insurance policies 
or any breach of an insurance policy warranty shall not affect coverage afforded 
under the insurance policies to protect City. 
The insurance policies, except Workers’ Compensation, shall contain a waiver of 
transfer rights of recovery (subrogation) against City, its agents, officers, officials 
and employees for any claims arising out of Contractor’s acts, errors, mistakes, 
omissions, work or service. 
The insurance policies may provide coverage which contains deductibles or self-
insured retentions. Such deductible and/or self-insured retentions shall not be 
applicable with respect to the coverage provided to City under such policies. 
Contractor shall be solely responsible for the deductible and/or self-retention and 
City, at its option, may require Contractor to secure payment of such deductibles 
or self-insured retentions by a surety bond or an irrevocable and unconditional 
letter of credit. 
The insurance policies required by this Agreement, except Workers’ 
Compensation, shall name City, its elected officials, agents, officers, and 
employees as Additional Insured Parties. 
Contractor shall expressly bind any subcontractors, or any other lower tier 
subcontractors, used in the performance of any aspect of the Services, to the 
insurance requirements in this Agreement, making such obligations applicable to 
the other subcontractor to the same extent as it is applicable to Contractor. The 
purpose of this provision is to require any lower tier subcontractor, regardless of 
level, to provide insurance and indemnity required by this Agreement. 
15.2 Commercial General Liability. Contractor shall maintain throughout 
the Term Commercial General Liability insurance with a limit of not less than 
$1,000,000 for each occurrence with a $2,000,000 Products/Completed

include coverage for bodily injury, broad form property damage, personal injury, 
products and completed operations and blanket contractual coverage including, 
but not limited to, the liability assumed under the indemnification provisions of 
this Agreement, which coverage will be at least as broad as that on Insurance 
Service Office, Inc. Policy Form No. CG 00011093, or the equivalent thereof.   
Such policies shall contain a severability of interest provision and shall not 
contain a sunset provision or commutation clause, nor any provision which would 
serve to limit third party action over claims.

least as broad as the Insurance Service Office, Inc.’s Additional Insured, Form B, 
CG 20101185, or the equivalent thereof, and shall include coverage for 
Contractor’s operations and products and completed operations. 
If Contractor sublets any part of the Services, Contractor shall purchase and 
maintain, at all times during prosecution of the Services an Owner and 
Contractor’s Protective Liability insurance policy for bodily injury and property 
damage, including death, which may arise in the prosecution of the Services. 
Coverage shall be on an occurrence basis with a limit of not less than $2,000,000 
per occurrence, and the policy shall be issued by the same insurance company 
that issues Contractor’s Commercial General Liability insurance. 
15.3 Automobile Liability. Contractor shall maintain Commercial/Business 
Automobile Liability insurance with a combined single limit for bodily injury and 
property damage of not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence with respect to 
Contractor’s owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles assigned to or used in 
performance of the Services. Coverage will be at least as broad as coverage code 
1, “any auto”, (Insurance Service Office, Inc. Policy Form CA 00011293, or the 
equivalent thereof). Such insurance shall include coverage for loading and off-
loading hazards. If hazardous substances, materials or wastes are to be 
transported, federal mandatory motor carrier safety (“MCS”) 90 endorsement 
shall be included and $5,000,000 per accident limits for bodily injury and property 
damage shall apply. 
15.4 Workers’ 
Compensation. 
Contractor 
shall 
carry 
Workers’ 
Compensation insurance to cover obligations imposed by federal and state 
statutes having jurisdiction over Contractor’s employees engaged in the 
performance of the Services; and Employer’s Liability insurance of not less than 
$100,000 for each accident, $100,000 disease for each employee, and $500,000 
disease policy limit. 
By execution of this Agreement, Contractor certifies as follows: 
“I am aware and understand the provisions of A.R.S. § 23-901 et seq. which 
requires every employer to be insured against liability for workers’ 
compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the 
provisions of this chapter, and I will comply with such provisions before 
commencing the performance of the Services of this Agreement.” 
If Contractor has no employees for whom Workers’ Compensation insurance is 
required by federal or state statutes, Contractor shall submit a declaration or 
affidavit to City so stating and covenanting to obtain such insurance if and when 
Contractor employs any employees subject to coverage. 
7

15.5 Certificates of Insurance. Prior to commencing the Services, 
Contractor shall furnish City with Certificates of Insurance, or formal 
endorsements as required by the Agreement, issued by Contractor’s insurer(s), 
as evidence that policies providing the required coverages, conditions and limits 
required by this Agreement are in full force and effect. City shall not be obligated, 
however, to review same or to advise Contractor of any deficiencies in such 
policies and endorsements, and such receipt shall not relieve Contractor from, or 
be deemed a waiver of, City’s right to insist on strict fulfillment of Contractor’s 
obligations under this Agreement. 
The form of the certificates of insurance and endorsements shall be subject to the 
approval of the Apache Junction City Attorney’s Office, shall comply with the 
terms of this Agreement. Policies or certificates and completed forms of City’s 
Additional Insured Endorsement (or a substantially equivalent insurance 
company form acceptable to the City Attorney) evidencing the coverage required 
by this Agreement shall be delivered to City Attorney, City of Apache Junction, 
300 East Superstition Boulevard, Apache Junction, AZ 85119. The policy or 
policies shall be in the usual form of public liability insurance, but shall also 
include the following provision: 
“Solely as respects work done by or on behalf of the named insured for the 
City of Apache Junction, it is agreed that the City of Apache Junction and 
its elected officials, officers, agents and employees are added as additional 
insured parties under this policy.” 
In the event any insurance policies required by this Agreement are written on a 
“claims made” basis, coverage shall extend for two (2) years past completion and 
acceptance of Contractor’s work or services and as evidenced by annual 
Certificates of Insurance. 
Contractor shall require its insurers to provide City thirty (30) calendar days’ prior 
written notice of any nonrenewal, cancellation, or material change in the 
coverage under such policy reducing coverage to below the amounts required by 
this Agreement. If a policy does expire during the life of the Agreement, a renewal 
certificate must be sent to City thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration 
date.

Contractor issued after execution of the Contract authorizing a change in the 
Work and setting forth the amount of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum 
and the extent of the change, if any, in the Progress Schedule.  Change Orders do 
not invalidate the Contract.  Changes in the Work shall be performed under the 
applicable provisions of the Contract Documents, and the Contractor shall 
proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order.  A Change 
Order signed by the Contractor indicates the Contractor’s agreement therewith, 
including the adjustment in the Contract Sum and Progress Schedule or the 
8

method for determining them.

TERMINATION:
A.

termination may be effected by City giving Contractor not less than ten (10) 
calendar days written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested of City’s 
intent to terminate. Contractor shall have ten (10) calendar days to cure the 
failure to the satisfaction of City. City may terminate this Agreement or a portion

ENTIRE AGREEMENT:  This Agreement and any attachments and the
Contract Documents represent the entire agreement between City and 
Contractor and supersede all prior negotiations, representations or agreements, 
either express or implied, written or oral.  It is mutually understood and agreed 
that no alteration or variation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall 
be valid unless made in writing and signed by the Parties.  Written and signed 
amendments shall automatically become part of the Contract, and shall 
supersede any inconsistent provision therein; provided, however, that any 
apparent inconsistency shall be resolved, if possible, by construing the 
provisions as mutually complementary and supplementary. 
27.
SEVERABILITY:  City and Contractor each believe that the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement are in compliance with all applicable 
laws.  However, in the unlikely event that any provision of this Agreement is 
declared void or unenforceable (or is construed as requiring City to do any act in 
11

violation of any applicable laws, including any constitutional provision, law, 
regulation, or city code), such provision shall be deemed severed from this 
Agreement and this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect; 
provided that this Agreement shall retroactively be deemed reformed to the 
extent reasonably possible in such a manner so that the reformed agreement (and 
any related agreements effective as of the same date) provide essentially the 
same rights and benefits (economic and otherwise) to the Parties as if such 
severance and reformation were not required.  Unless prohibited by applicable 
laws, the Parties further shall perform all acts and execute, acknowledge and/or 
deliver all amendments, instruments and consents necessary to accomplish and 
to give effect to the purposes of this Agreement, as reformed. 
28.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE:  Time is of the essence with respect to all
provisions in this Agreement.  Any delay in performance by either Party shall 
constitute a material breach of this Agreement.   
29.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST:  The Contract is subject to, and may be
terminated by City in accordance with, the provisions of A.R.S. § 38-511. 
30.
PROHIBITION TO CONTRACT WITH CONTRACTORS WHO ENGAGE
IN BOYCOTT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL:  The Parties acknowledge A.R.S. §§ 35-
393 through 35-393.03, as amended, which forbids public entities from 
contracting with Contractors who engage in boycotts of the State of Israel. 
Should Contractor engage in any such boycott against the State of Israel, this 
Agreement shall be deemed automatically terminated by operation of law.  Any 
such boycott is a material breach of this Agreement.   
31.
PROHIBITED USE OF FORCED LABOR:  In accordance with A.R.S. §
35-394, Contractor hereby certifies and agrees that Contractor does not
currently and shall not for the duration of this Agreement use: (1) the forced labor
of ethnic Uyghurs in the People’s Republic of China, (2) any services or goods
produced by the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People’s Republic of China,
and/or (3) any suppliers, contractors or subcontractors that use the forced labor
or any services or goods produced by the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the
People’s Republic of China.  If Contractor becomes aware during the Term that
Contractor is not in compliance with this Section 32, then Contractor shall notify
the City within five (5) business days after becoming aware of such
noncompliance.  If Contractor does not provide the City with written certification
that Contractor has remedied such noncompliance within ninety (90) calendar
days after notifying the City of such noncompliance, this Agreement shall
terminate, except that if the Agreement termination date occurs before the end of

7. 
All prices to the City shall increase and decrease in direct relation with the 
published OPIS average rack price for “Phoenix.”
