The Design-Builder shall not commence Work under the Contract until all insurance required below has been obtained and approved by the Owner. The Design-Builder shall not allow any Architect/Engineer, Consultant or Contractor to commence Work pursuant to a contract with Design-Builder until all insurance required of the Architect/Engineer, Consultant or Contractor has been obtained and approved. If a Subcontractor does not obtain insurance in its own name and its principal Design-Builder wishes to provide insurance protection for such Subcontractor and such Subcontractor’s employees, a rider shall be attached to the principal Design-Builder’s policy, which rider shall identify the persons thereby covered or else the principal Design-Builder shall obtain appropriate policies in the name of the Architect/Engineer, Consultant or Contractor.

The Design-Builder shall provide the Owner with Certificates of Insurance for all new and renewal insurance policies. Certificates shall name the City of St. Petersburg as an additional insured except for the Workers’ Compensation and Professional Liability insurance and show the City of St. Petersburg as the Certificate Holder. No insurance policy required herein may be canceled, non-renewed, or adversely changed without thirty days written notice to the Owner. Insurance shall be maintained at all times by the Design-Builder until final acceptance of the Work by the Owner except for completed operations coverage which shall be maintained for a period of one year beyond final acceptance of the Project. Completed operations coverage shall not serve to limit the liability of the Design-Builder.

All insurance required shall be on a primary and noncontributory basis and shall be provided by responsible insurers licensed in the State of Florida and rated at least A- in the then current edition of AM Best’s Rating Services, or similar rating agency acceptable to the City.

If the insurance carried by the Design-Builder has broader coverage than required in this Agreement, then that broader coverage, including but not limited to additional insured requirements, shall be the requirement in this Agreement. If the Design-Builder’s insurance limits are greater than the minimum limits set forth herein, then the Design-Builder’s insurance limits shall be the required limits in this Agreement.

Certificates of Insurance shall be delivered to the Procurement & Supply Management Director.

Failure to provide Certificates or failure to renew Insurance shall not relieve the Design-Builder of the responsibility to provide insurance as required. At the Owner’s request, the Design-Builder shall allow the Owner and/or the Owner’s designated representative to come to its local office, during regular business hours, to review complete copies of Design-Builder’s and all its Architect/Engineer, Consultant or Contractor ’s insurance policies. The Owner shall have the right to take notes during its review of the policies. Receipt of Certificates of Insurance which indicate less coverage than required does not constitute a waiver of the Design-Builder’s obligation to fulfill the insurance requirements herein.

The Design-Builder may, at its option, provide the limits of liability as set out herein by a combination of the policies described herein, including an Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance Policy. Any Excess or Umbrella policy must provide coverage on at least a following form basis and must include completed operations and excavation, collapse and underground coverage, along with professional liability.

Approval of the insurance by the Owner shall not in any way relieve or decrease the liability of the Design-Builder. It is expressly understood that the Owner does not in any way represent that the specified limits of liability or coverage or policy forms are sufficient or adequate to protect the interest or liabilities of the Design-Builder.

The Design-Builder’s deductibles or self-insured retention may be disapproved by the Owner. All responsibility for payment of any sums resulting from any deductible provisions, corridor, or self-insured retention conditions of the policy or policies shall remain with the Design-Builder.

Design-Builder hereby waives all subrogation rights of its insurance carriers in favor of the Indemnified Parties. This provision is intended to waive fully, and for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, any rights or claims which might give rise to a right of subrogation in favor of any insurance carrier.
