this Agreement. CONSULTANT shall require any subcontractor to carry and maintain the
minimum insurance required in this Agreement to the extent they apply to the scope of the
services to be performed by subcontractor.
D. Acceptance of verification of Insurance by the DISTRICT shall not relieve CONSULTANT
of any of the insurance requirements, nor decrease liability of CONSULTANT.

and/or umbrella insurance, and all coverage shall be at least as broad as the requirements listed in
this Agreement.
F. Any deductibles, self-insurance, or self-insured retentions (SIRs) applicable to the required
insurance coverage must be declared to and accepted by the DISTRICT.
G. At the option and request of the DISTRICT, CONSULTANT shall provide documentation of
its financial ability to pay the deductible, self-insurance, or SIR.
H. Any policies with a SIR shall provide that any SIR may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by
the DISTRICT or the additional insured at its sole and absolute discretion.

insurers with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A- V.

of this Agreement, and before the beginning of any Services related to this Agreement.
L. Insurance must be maintained and updated Verification of Insurance be provided to the
DISTRICT before the expiration of insurance by having CONSULTANT’s insurance broker or

copies of any policies and endorsements within 10 days of such request (copies of policies may
be redacted to eliminate premium details.)
R. It is CONSULTANT’s responsibility to ensure its compliance with the insurance
requirements. Any actual or alleged failure on the part of the DISTRICT to obtain proof of

right or remedy of the DISTRICT, in this or any regard.

the DISTRICT being provided at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, other than
cancellation for the non-payment of premiums, in which event the DISTRICT shall be provided
3
