About this file

This is an Insurance Requirements document issued by the City of Palo Alto establishing mandatory coverage standards for contractors providing graphic design services under RFP #RFP196540. Contractors must obtain and maintain insurance throughout the entire contract term at their sole expense from carriers rated A-:VII or higher by AM Best's and licensed in California. Required coverage includes Worker's Compensation (statutory limits), Employer's Liability (statutory limits), General Liability with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate for bodily injury, property damage, and combined coverage, Automobile Liability with $1,000,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence limits, and Professional Liability/Errors and Omissions with $1,000,000 minimum coverage. All policies must include contractual liability endorsements and name the City, its Council Members, officers, agents, and employees as additional insureds (except for Workers' Compensation, Employer's Liability, and Professional Insurance). Certificates of insurance evidencing required coverage must be submitted to PURCHASINGSUPPORT@PALOALTO.GOV prior to contract award.

The insurance endorsement provisions require that coverage for additional insureds be primary with respect to claims arising from the named insured's operations and shall not be contributing with any other insurance. The policy must include cross-liability provisions ensuring that naming multiple insureds does not extinguish rights between them or increase the carrier's total liability. Contractors must provide at least thirty days' written notice to the City before policy cancellation for any reason other than non-payment of premium, and at least ten days' notice in cases of cancellation due to premium non-payment. Award of the contract is contingent upon full compliance with these insurance requirements. All evidence of insurance and related notices must be filed with the City at the specified email address.
