E. Additional Insurance Requirements:

2. Coverages shall remain in effect at least until the completion of the contracted project and at any time when the contractor may be correcting, replacing or removing any defective work.

3. The City of Albemarle shall be given thirty days notice prior to the expiration of a certificate of insurance and failure to provide such notice shall impose no liability on the City, its agents or representatives.

4. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that all subcontractors comply with the requirements of this policy.

II. ADDITIONAL INSURED STATUS/CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE

The City of Albemarle shall be endorsed as an additional insured on the applicable liability insurance policies with the exception of professional liability policies.

Two certificates shall be provided by the agent or broker that produced the policy denoting compliance with the above requirements including additional insured status for the City. Certificates of insurance shall be provided prior to the awarding of any contract; and such certificate shall include provisions that the insurance shall not be cancelled, allowed to expire or be materially changed without giving the City thirty days advance written notice.

III. INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS

The contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the City of Albemarle, its officers, agents and employees from and against all loss, cost, damages, expense and liability caused by an accident or other occurrence resulting in bodily injury, including death and disease to any person or damage or destruction of property either real or personal, arising directly or indirectly from operations, products, or services rendered or purchased under the contract.

The contractor is responsible for ensuring contract employees follow proper safety procedures. The contractor shall remedy the situation immediately or provide evidence to the City that the condition is necessary for the completion of the project and does not unduly jeopardize people or property.

I hereby understand and agree to comply with the terms of this policy.
