5. SPECIAL PROVISIONS

5.1. WORK DIVIDED INTO LOTS

Award of this Offer will be based on individual table pricing (per lot). The City reserves the right to award the purchases to the lowest Responsive and Responsible Bidder for each individual lot. Bidder will provide a price for each lot being Offered.

5.2. MULTIPLE AWARDS

The City reserves the right to award multiple Contracts if this is deemed in the City’s best interest. A

Contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder. The City further reserves the right to award a secondary Contract to the next lowest responsive and responsible Bidder. The

Secondary Bidder will be awarded a Contract for work that the Primary Bidder is unable to perform, cannot meet the City’s time requirements or whose pricing is unacceptably high for a specific project.

There are no guarantees as to the quantity of work.

5.3. BIDDER QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIRED SUBMISSIONS. Minimum

Qualifications

In order to be considered qualified to provide the requested Commodities, the Bidder must have all required one year prior to the date of submission of Offer, and must otherwise have sufficient organizational capacity, equipment, and facilities to provide the requested Commodities.

6. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

Indemnification.

CONTRACTOR will indemnify and hold harmless the CITY, including the CITY’s officers, employees, and agents, from liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent caused by the CONTRACTOR’s negligent acts or omissions, or reckless or intentionally wrongful conduct in the performance of this Contract. For purposes of this Section, the term, “CONTRACTOR,” includes CONTRACTOR’s officers, employees, and agents, including subcontractors and other persons employed or used by CONTRACTOR. This indemnification agreement is separate and apart from, and in no way limited by, any insurance provided pursuant to this agreement or otherwise.

Insurance.

CONTRACTOR will provide and maintain at CONTRACTOR’s own expense, at a minimum, insurance of the kinds of coverage and in the amounts set forth in this Section. All such insurance will be primary and non-contributory with the CITY’s own insurance. In the event any request for the performance of services presents exposures to the CITY not covered by the requirements set forth below, the CITY reserves the right to add insurance requirements that will cover such an exposure.

(a) Coverage and Amounts.

(1) Workers Compensation Insurance as required by Florida Statutes, Chapter 440, Workers’

Compensation Insurance, for all employees of CONTRACTOR, employed at the site of the service or in any way connected with the work, which is the subject of this service. The insurance required by this provision will comply fully with the Florida Workers’ Compensation Law and include Employers’ Liability Insurance with limits of not less than $500,000 per occurrence. Any associated or subsidiary company involved in the service must be named in the Workers’ Compensation coverage.

(2) Liability Insurance, including:

(i) Commercial General Liability coverage for operations, independent contractors, products-completed operations, broad form property damage, and personal injury on an "occurrence" basis insuring

CONTRACTOR and any other interests, including but not limited to any associated or subsidiary companies involved in the work; and

(ii) Automobile Liability Insurance, which will insure claims for damages because of bodily injury or death of any person or property damage arising out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of any motor vehicle used by the CONTRACTOR in the performance of this Contract.

The limit of liability for each policy will be a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. If insurance is provided with a general aggregate, then the aggregate will be in an amount of no less than $2,000,000. The Risk Manager may authorize lower liability limits for the automobile policy only, at the Risk Manager’s sole discretion.

THE COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY WILL NAME THE CITY AS AN ADDITIONAL

INSURED. CONTRACTOR’S Commercial General Liability insurance policy shall provide coverage to

CONTRACTOR, and CITY when required to be named as an additional insured either by endorsement or pursuant to a blanket additional insured endorsement, for those sources of liability which would be covered by the latest edition of the standard Commercial General Liability Coverage Form (ISO Form CG

00 01) without the attachment of any endorsements excluding or limiting coverage for

Products/Completed Operations, Independent Contractors, Property of CITY in Contractor’s Care, Custody or Control or Property of CITY on which contracted operations are being performed, Explosion, Collapse or Underground hazards (XCU Coverage, Contractual Liability or Separation of Insureds). When CITY is added as additional insured by endorsement, ISO Endorsements CG 20 10 and CG 20 37 or their equivalent shall be used to provide such Additional Insured status.

Unless specifically waived hereafter in writing by the Risk Manager, Contractor agrees that the insurer(s) shall waive its rights of subrogation, if any, against the City on each of the listed insurance coverages in this section.

(b) Proof of Insurance. CONTRACTOR will furnish proof of insurance acceptable to the CITY prior to or at the time of execution of this Contract. CONTRACTOR will not commence work until all proof of all required insurance has been filed with and approved by the CITY. CONTRACTOR will furnish such proof in the form of certificates of insurance which will clearly outline all hazards covered as itemized above, the amounts of insurance applicable to each hazard, and the expiration dates. The certificates will also contain the following language as to cancellation:

“In the event of cancellation of this policy by the insurer or any insured, this Company will give not less than 30 days advance written notice to:

Risk Manager

The CITY of Daytona Beach

P.O. Box 2451

Daytona Beach, Florida 32115-2451”

If requested by the CITY, CONTRACTOR will furnish copies of the insurance contracts to support the certificates of insurance and the copies of said insurance must be acceptable to the CITY.

(c) Cancellation; Replacement Required. CONTRACTOR will file replacement certificates 30 days prior to expiration or termination of the required insurance occurring prior to the acceptance of the work by the

CITY. If a required policy is canceled without CONTRACTOR’s prior knowledge CONTRACTOR will immediately notify the CITY immediately upon becoming aware that a required insurance coverage has been canceled for any reason, and promptly replace the canceled policy. The CITY expressly reserves the right to replace the canceled policy at CONTRACTOR’S expense if CONTRACTOR fails to do so.

(d) Termination of Insurance. CONTRACTOR may not cancel the insurance required by this Contract until the work is completed, accepted by the CITY and CONTRACTOR has received written notification from the

Risk Management Division of the CITY that CONTRACTOR may cancel the insurance required by this

Contract and the date upon which the insurance may be canceled. The Risk Management Division of the

CITY will provide such written notification at the request of CONTRACTOR if the request is made no earlier than two weeks before the work is to be completed.

(e) Liabilities Unaffected. CONTRACTOR’s liabilities under this Contract will survive and not be terminated, reduced or otherwise limited by any expiration or termination of insurance coverages. Similarly, CONTRACTOR’s liabilities under this Contract will not be limited by the existence of any exclusions or limitations in insurance coverages, or by CONTRACTOR’S failure to obtain insurance coverage.

CONTRACTOR will not be relieved from responsibility to provide required insurance by any failure of the

CITY to demand such coverage, or by CITY’s approval of a policy submitted by CONTRACTOR that does not meet the requirements of this Contract.

Notices. Unless otherwise expressly agreed herein, all notices, requests, and demands to or upon the

Parties will be delivered by hand, delivered by a courier service, provided to a nationally recognized delivery service for overnight delivery, or by U.S. mail, postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses set forth herein.
