If Contractor has any self-insured retentions or deductibles under any of the below listed minimum required coverage, Contractor must identify on the Certificate of Insurance the nature and amount of such self- insured retentions or deductibles and provide satisfactory evidence of financial responsibility for such obligations. All self-insured retentions or deductibles will be Contractor’s sole responsibility.

Should at any time the Contractor not maintain the insurance coverage(s) required herein, the County may terminate the Agreement or at its sole discretion shall be authorized to purchase such coverage(s) and charge the Contractor for such coverage(s) purchased. If Contractor fails to reimburse the County for such costs within thirty (30) days after demand, the County has the right to offset these costs from any amount due Contractor under this Agreement or any other agreement between the County and Contractor. The County shall be under no obligation to purchase such insurance, nor shall it be responsible for the coverage(s) purchased or the insurance company or companies used. The decision of the County to purchase such insurance coverage(s) shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any of its rights under the Contract Documents.

Failure of the Contractor to provide the County with such renewal certificate(s) shall be considered justification for the County to terminate any and all contracts.
