If the GRANTEE is self-insured, the following requirements will outline the responsibility of the self-insured coverage. The required policies of insurance as stated herein shall maintain limits of liability of not less than those amounts stated therein. However, the insurance limits available to CITY and STATE and each of their officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers as additional insureds, shall be the greater of the minimum limits specified therein or the full limit of any insurance proceeds to the named insured. (b) If at any time during the life of the Agreement or any extension, GRANTEE fails to maintain any required insurance in full force and effect, all services and work under this Agreement shall be discontinued immediately, and all payments due or that become due to GRANTEE shall be withheld until notice is received by CITY that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to CITY. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for CITY to terminate this Agreement. No action taken by CITY pursuant to this section shall in any way relieve GRANTEE of its responsibilities under this Agreement. The phrase “fail to maintain any required insurance” shall include, without limitation, notification received by CITY that an insurer has commenced proceedings, or has had proceedings commenced against it, indicating that the insurer is insolvent. (c) The fact that insurance is obtained by GRANTEE shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of GRANTEE, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify CITY and STATE by GRANTEE shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by GRANTEE. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of GRANTEE, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, medical professionals, subcontractors, consultants, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them. Coverage shall be at least as broad as: 1. The most current version of Insurance Services Office (ISO) Commercial General Liability Coverage Form CG 00 01, providing liability coverage arising out of your business operations.
