CITY’s Risk Manager or City Attorney may waive the requirement of professional liability insurance if he/she determines that such a policy is not commercially available to VENDOR.

VENDOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the AGREEMENT insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by VENDOR, its agents, representatives, employees, or subconsultants. 3. Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by VENDOR shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by CITY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before CITY’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured. 4. CITY’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this AGREEMENT does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by VENDOR or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from VENDOR payments.
