CONTRACTOR shall not make any reductions in scope or limits of coverage that may affect COUNTY's protection without COUNTY's prior written consent. 5. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide evidence of the insurance required herein, satisfactory to COUNTY, consisting of: a) certificate(s) of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and, b) an additional insured endorsement to CONTRACTOR's general liability policy using Insurance Services Office form CG 20 10 with an edition date prior to 2004. CONTRACTOR agrees, upon request by COUNTY to provide complete, certified copies of any policies required within 10 days of such request. COUNTY has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests. Any premium so paid by COUNTY shall be charged to and promptly paid by CONTRACTOR or deducted from sums due CONTRACTOR. Any actual or alleged failure on the part of COUNTY or any other additional insured under these requirements to obtain proof of insurance required under this CONTRACT in no way waives any right or remedy of COUNTY or any additional insured, in this or in any other regard. 6. It is acknowledged by the parties of this CONTRACT that all insurance coverage required to be provided by CONTRACTOR or indemnifying party, is intended to apply first and on a primary non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self- insurance available to COUNTY. 7. CONTRACTOR agrees not to self -insure or to use any self -insured retentions on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any indemnifying party to self- insure its obligations to COUNTY. If CONTRACTOR's existing coverage includes a self -insured retention, the self -insured retention must be declared to the COUNTY. The COUNTY may review options with CONTRACTOR, which may include reduction or elimination of the self -insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions. 8. CONTRACTOR will renew the required coverage annually as long as COUNTY, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this CONTRACT. This obligation applies whether or not the CONTRACT is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until COUNTY executes a written statement to that effect. 9. The limits of insurance as described above shall be considered as minimum requirements. Should any coverage carried by CONTRACTOR or a subcontractor of any tier maintain insurance with limits of liability that exceed the required limits or coverage that is broader than as outlined above, those higher limits and broader coverage shall be deemed to apply for the benefit of any person or organization included as an additional insured and those limits shall become the required minimum limits of insurance in all Paragraphs and Sections of this CONTRACT. Professional Services Contract (rev 06/2023) Page 17 10. None of the policies required herein shall be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement that has not been first submitted to COUNTY and approved of in writing. 11. The requirements in this Exhibit supersede all other sections and provisions of this CONTRACT to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Exhibit. 12. Unless otherwise approved by COUNTY, insurance provided pursuant to these requirements shall be by insurers authorized to do business in Washington and with a minimum A.M. Best rating of A-A/II. 13. All insurance coverage and limits provided by CONTRACTOR and available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this CONTRACT limits the application of such insurance coverage. 14. CONTRACTOR agrees require insurers, to provide notice to COUNTY thirty (30) days prior to cancellation of such liability coverage or of any material alteration or non - renewal of any such coverage, other than for non-payment of premium. CONTRACTOR shall assure that this provision also applies to any subcontractors, joint ventures or any other party engaged by or on behalf of contractor in relation to this agreement. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the issuer will provide thirty (30) days' notice to COUNTY of any cancellation of coverage. 15. COUNTY reserves the right at any time during the term of the CONTRACT to change the amounts and types of Insurance required by giving the CONTRACTOR ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONTRACTOR, the COUNTY and CONTRACTOR may renegotiate CONTRACTOR's compensation. 16. Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitation on other requirements or as waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all-inclusive. 17. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to COUNTY of any claim or loss against CONTRACTOR arising out of the work performed under this agreement. COUNTY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve COUNTY.
