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 FAC. Approval or

limit the liability of FAC, vendors, suppliers, invitees, contractors, sub -contractors,

coverage shall not be cancelled, non -renewed, reduced in coverage or in limits
except after thirty (30) calendar days written notice has been given to CITY,
except ten (10) days for nonpayment of premium. FAC is also responsible for
providing written notice to the CITY under the same terms and conditions.
