GC Section 13 (d) is amended to include delay due to reason(s) beyond the control of the Contractor as a cause for delay for which the Contractor shall not be deemed to be in default.

The ADC Executive Director shall be the sole judge of whether such delay is truly beyond the control of the Contractor and whether the extension will be granted.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS SP-6 IFB-26-200-010

LIABILITY INSURANCE

The Contractor shall maintain in full force and effect during the life of this contract, liability and property damage insurance to protect the Contractor and his subcontractors, if any, from claims for damages for personal injury, accidental death and property damage which may arise from operations under this contract, whether such operations be by himself or by a subcontractor or anyone directly or indirectly employed by either of them. If any subcontractor is involved in the performance of the contract, the insurance policy or policies shall name the subcontractor as additional insured.

As an alternative to the Contractor providing insurance to cover operations performed by a subcontractor and naming the subcontractor as additional insured, Contractor may require subcontractor to provide its own insurance which meets the requirements herein.

Upon request by the State, Contractor shall be responsible for furnishing a copy of the policy or policies.

Failure of the Contractor to provide and keep in force such insurance shall be regarded as material default under this contract, entitling the State to exercise any or all of the remedies provided in this contract for a default of the Contractor.

The procuring of such required insurance shall not be construed to limit Contractor's liability hereunder or to fulfill the indemnification provisions and requirements of this contract.

Notwithstanding said policy or policies of insurance, Contractor shall be obliged for the full and total amount of any damage, injury, or loss caused by negligence or neglect connected with this contract.

PERMITS, LICENSES, AND TAXES
