Additional Insurance Related Requirements

No limitation of Liability: The insurance coverages specified in this Agreement are the minimum requirements for this Contract and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in this Contract or decrease or limit any liability of Contractor.

The County in no way warrants that the minimum limits contained herein are sufficient to protect the Contractor from liabilities that might arise out of the performance of the Work under by the Contractor, its agents, representatives, employees, or subcontractors. The Contractor shall assess its own risks and if it deems appropriate and/or prudent, maintain higher limits and/or broader coverages. The Contractor is not relieved of any liability or other obligations assumed or pursuant to the Contract by reason of its failure to obtain or maintain insurance in sufficient amounts, duration, or types. The Contractor shall maintain, at its own expense, any additional kinds or amounts of insurance that it may deem necessary to cover its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement.

Certification of Compliance with Insurance Requirements. The Contractor stipulates that it has met the insurance requirements identified herein.

All insurers must be licensed or approved to do business within the State of Colorado, and unless otherwise specified, all policies must be written on a per occurrence basis. The Contractor shall provide the County with a Certificate of Insurance evidencing all required coverages, before commencing work or entering the County premises. The Contractor shall furnish the County with certificates of insurance (ACCORD) form or equivalent approved by the County as required by this Contract. The certificates for each insurance policy are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. The Contractor shall name on the certificate,” Weld County, its associated and/or affiliated entities, successors, or assigns; its elected officials, employees, agents, and volunteers as Additional Insureds” for Commercial General Liability and Auto Liability for work that is being performed by the Contractor.

On insurance policies where the County is named as an additional insured, the County shall be an additional insured to the full limits of liability purchased by the Contractor even if those limits of liability are in excess of those required by this Contract.

Upon request by the County, Contractor must provide a copy of the actual insurance policy and/or required endorsements effecting coverage(s) required by the Contract for examination for evidence of required coverages. Copies are not kept as a record, are deemed confidential, and are not subject to disclosure under Colorado's Open Records Act (CORA). All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by the County before work commences.

Each insurance policy required by this Agreement must be in effect at or prior to commencement of work under this Agreement and remain in effect for the duration of the project, and for a longer period of time if required by other provisions in this Agreement.

Failure to maintain the insurance policies as required by this Agreement or to provide evidence of renewal is a material breach of contract.

Any modification or variation from the insurance requirements in this Agreement shall be made by the County Attorney’s Office, whose decision shall be final. Such action will not require a formal contract amendment but may be made by administrative action.

3. Term. The term of this Agreement begins upon the date of the mutual execution of this Agreement and shall continue through and until Contractor’s completion of the responsibilities described in the attached Exhibits. Both of the parties to this Agreement understand and agree that the laws of the State of Colorado prohibit County from entering into Agreements which bind County for periods longer than one year. This Agreement may be extended upon mutual written agreement of the Parties. In its sole discretion, the County, by the Director of the Department of Public Works or his or her designee, may extend the time for the Contractor to complete the service or work, by not more than thirty (30) days. Such extension shall not increase the compensation to be paid to the Contractor nor change any other term herein.

4. Termination; Breach; Cure. County may terminate this Agreement for its own convenience upon thirty (30) days written notice to Contractor. Either Party may i terminate this Agreement upon material breach of the other party, however the breaching party shall have fifteen (15) days after receiving such notice to cure such breach. Upon termination, County shall take possession of all materials, equipment, tools and facilities owned by County which Contractor is using, by whatever method it deems expedient; and, Contractor shall deliver to County all drawings, drafts, or other documents it has completed or partially completed under this Agreement, together with all other items, materials and documents which have been paid for by County, and these items, materials and documents shall be the property of County. Copies of work product that is incomplete at the time of termination shall be marked “DRAFT- INCOMPLETE.” If this Agreement is terminated by County, Contractor shall be compensated for, and such compensation shall be limited to, (1) the sum of the amounts contained in invoices which it has submitted and which have been approved by the County; (2) the reasonable value to County of the services which Contractor provided prior to the date of the termination notice, but which had not yet been approved for payment; and (3) the cost of any work which the County approves in writing which it determines is needed to accomplish an orderly termination of the work. County shall be entitled to the use of all material generated pursuant to this Agreement upon termination. Upon termination of this Agreement by County, Contractor shall have no claim of any kind whatsoever against the County by reason of such termination or by reason of any act incidental thereto, except for compensation for work satisfactorily performed and/or materials described herein properly delivered.

5. Extension or Amendment. Any amendments or modifications to this agreement shall be in writing signed by both parties. No additional services or work performed by Contractor shall be the basis for additional compensation unless and until Contractor has obtained written authorization and acknowledgement by County for such additional services. Accordingly, no claim that the County has been unjustly enriched by any additional services, whether or not there is in fact any such unjust enrichment, shall be the basis of any increase in the compensation payable hereunder. In the event that written authorization and acknowledgment by the County for such additional services is not timely executed and issued in strict accordance with this Agreement, Contractor’s rights with respect to such additional services shall be deemed waived and such failure shall result in non-payment for such additional services or work performed. In the event the County shall require changes in the scope, character, or complexity of the work to be performed, and said changes cause an increase or decrease in the time required or the costs to the Contractor for performance, an equitable adjustment in fees and completion time shall be negotiated between the parties and this Agreement shall be modified accordingly by Change Order. Any claims by the Contractor for adjustment hereunder must be made in writing prior to performance of any work covered in the le anticipated Change Order. Any change in work made without such prior Change Order shall be deemed covered in the compensation and time provisions of this Agreement.

6. Compensation/Contract Amount. Upon Contractor’s successful completion of the Work, and County’s acceptance of the same, County agrees to pay an amount not to exceed $[Insert], as set forth in Exhibits. No payment in excess of that set forth in the Exhibits will be made by County unless a Change Order authorizing such additional payment has been specifically approved by Weld County. If, at any time during the term or after termination or expiration of this Agreement, County reasonably determines that any payment made by County to Contractor was improper because the service for which payment was made did not perform as set forth in this Agreement, then upon written notice of such determination and request for reimbursement from County, Contractor shall forthwith return such payment(s) to County.

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, unexpended funds advanced by County, if any, shall forthwith be returned to County. County will not withhold any taxes from monies paid to the Contractor hereunder and Contractor agrees to be solely responsible for the accurate reporting and payment of any taxes related to payments made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Unless expressly enumerated in the attached Exhibits, Contractor shall not be entitled to be paid for any other expenses (e.g. mileage).
