5-Indemnity and Insurance Requirements.pdf

INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

1. These are the Indemnity and Insurance Requirements for Contractors providing services or supplies to Connect Transit. By agreeing to perform the work or submitting a bid, you verify that you comply with and agree to be bound by these requirements. If any additional Contract documents are executed, the actual Indemnity language and Insurance Requirements may include additional provisions as deemed appropriate by Connect Transit.

2. You should check with your insurance advisors to verify compliance and determine if additional coverage or limits may be needed to adequately insure your obligations under this agreement. These are the minimum required and do not in any way represent or imply that such coverage is sufficient to adequately cover the Contractor’s liability under this agreement.

The full coverage and limits afforded under Contractor’s policies of Insurance shall be available to Connect Transit and these Insurance Requirements shall not in any way act to reduce coverage that is broader or includes higher limits than those required. The Insurance obligations under this agreement shall be:

a. all the Insurance coverage and limits carried by or available to the Contractor; or

b. the minimum Insurance requirements shown in this agreement, whichever is greater. Any insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits and coverage required, which are applicable to a given loss, shall be available to Connect Transit.

3. Contractor shall furnish Connect Transit with original Certificates of Insurance including all required amendatory endorsements (or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this clause) and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsement Page of the CGL policy listing all policy endorsements to Connect Transit before work begins. Connect Transit reserves the right to require full-certified copies of all Insurance coverage and endorsements.

INDEMNIFICATION

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to indemnify, and hold harmless, and upon request, defend Connect Transit, its officers, directors, Board Members, employees, agents, representatives, volunteers, subsidiaries, successors, and assigns (“Indemnitees”), from any claim, liability, damage, expense, suit or demand (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) for any losses, damages, injuries, or death to any persons including Contractor’s employees or any Subcontractor’s employees, or for damage or loss to any third-party property, arising out of or in any manner related to, based upon, or in connection with any operations, performance, breach, course or scope of Work, act, omissions, or presence upon use, or other encountering of any property, facilities, personnel, vehicles, equipment, or operation of Connect Transit by or involving Connect Transit, Contractor or any of their employees, agents, representatives, facilities, vehicles, materials equipment, or Subcontractors (regardless of tier) or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, in any connection with the Work performed by or on behalf of Contractor, regardless of whether the Contractor is a party to any lawsuit. In that regard, this obligation to indemnify includes, without limitation, claims against Connect Transit for Connect Transit’s own negligence or fault.

INSURANCE

All insurance required except for worker’s compensation shall be endorsed to add Connect Transit, its officials, Board members, employees, agents, and volunteers to be added to all liabilities policies as additional insureds. The contractor’s insurer will provide at least 30 days written notice of cancellation.
