Summary: Exhibit E - Design Builder Insurance Requirements

This document outlines the insurance requirements for design-build contractors bidding on the Forest Ridge Park Mountain Bike Trail project for the City of Raleigh, North Carolina. The design-build team selected for this project will be required to obtain and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage throughout the design and construction phases. The insurance requirements are intended to protect the City, the design-build contractor, and other parties involved in the project from potential liabilities and losses that may arise during the performance of design and construction services for the natural surface mountain bike trails at Forest Ridge Park.

The specific insurance coverage requirements mandate that the design-build contractor procure general liability insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and other coverage types as detailed in the exhibit specifications. These insurance policies must meet minimum limits and maintain specific endorsements as required by the City of Raleigh. The contractor must provide certificates of insurance demonstrating compliance with these requirements prior to commencing work and must maintain continuous coverage throughout the contract term. Failure to maintain required insurance coverage could result in suspension of work or termination of the design-build services agreement.

Such insurance shall be of the kinds and have limits of liability and coverage not less than the minimum limits specified in this Exhibit F, “Insurance for Phase 1 Services,” or required by law, whichever is greater. Owner’s separate contractors that may be working at the Project Site contemporaneously with Design-Builder will include Design-Builder as an addiƟonal insured.

b. Design-Builder shall, without limiƟng its obligaƟons or liabiliƟes, procure, pay for, and maintain such insurance as is required by law and as is required by the Agreement and the other Contract Documents to protect Design-Bulder and the Owner from claims for damages for bodily injury, including without limitaƟon death, and from claims for property damage, including the loss of use resulƟng therefrom, which may arise out of or result from Design-Builder's or its representaƟves', Design Consultants', Subcontractors', agents', or employees' operaƟons under the Agreement. Such insurance shall be of the kinds and have limits of liability and coverage not less than the minimum limits specified in this Exhibit E, “Insurance for Phase 1 Services,” or required by law, whichever is greater. Owner makes no representaƟon as to the adequacy or sufficiency of such coverage. The requirements of this Exhibit F, “Insurance for Phase 1 Services,” shall in no way be construed to limit or eliminate the liability of Design-Builder that arises from performance of Work under the Agreement and the other Contract Documents. Design-Builder is strictly responsible for any losses, claims, and costs of any kind which exceed the Design-Builder's limits of liability, or which may be outside the coverage scope of the policies.

1. The obligaƟons of the Design-Builder under this Exhibit E, “Insurance for Phase 1 Services,” shall not extend to liability arising out of the negligence of Owner or its respecƟve representaƟves, consultants, other contractors, agents, and/or employees. The obligaƟons of Design-Builder under this Exhibit E, “Insurance for Phase 1 Services,” shall not extend to liability arising out of professional services unless performed by Design-Builder or its Design Consultants.

c. The insurance required by this Exhibit E, “Insurance for Phase 1 Services,” shall be provided by an insurer approved by Owner, authorized to do such business in the State of North Carolina, and on terms approved by Owner.

A Direct NoƟce of CancellaƟon endorsement is to be aƩached to corresponding cerƟficates of insurance. In the event of any such cancellaƟon, non-renewal, or material limitaƟon, Design-Builder is obligated to replace such insurance within seven (7) days without a gap in coverage and file accordingly such noƟce with Owner and other interested parƟes. Failing immediate receipt of evidence of such replacement of insurance, Owner reserves the right to procure such insurance as Owner considers desirable, and Design-Builder shall pay or reimburse the cost of the premium arising therefrom without any rights to seek subsequent reimbursements from Owner.

e. No acƟon or inacƟon on the part of Owner shall in any way change or reduce Design-Builder's responsibiliƟes and liabiliƟes under the Agreement and the other Contract Documents.

k. The claim provisions in Design-Builder’s insurance policies must specifically state the insurance company or Design-Builder’s third-party administrator. If self-insured, Design-Builder has both the right and the duty to adjust a claim and provide defense.

l. If any of the policies procured pursuant to this Exhibit E, “Insurance for Phase 1 Services,” contain any warranty staƟng that coverage is null and void (or words to that effect), or if Design-Builder does not comply with the most stringent regulaƟons governing the Work, then the policies shall be modified so that coverage shall be afforded in all cases except for Design-Builder's willful or intenƟonal noncompliance with applicable government regulaƟons.

m. Any failure by any person to comply with reporƟng or other provisions of any insurance policy, including without limitaƟon breach of warranƟes, shall not affect coverage provided to Owner and its respecƟve representaƟves, officials, and employees.
