SANFORD

It is noted that Professional Liability, builder's risk, garage keepers and garage liability is not required unless applicable conditions exist. If clarification is needed the CONTRACTOR must request clarification from the City of Sanford Purchasing Office.

Vendor, Contractor, bidder shall provide, to the City of Sanford "City," prior to commencing any work, a Certificate of Insurance which verifies coverage in compliance with the requirements. Any work initiated without completion of this requirement shall be unauthorized and the City will not be responsible.

The City reserves the right, as conditions warrant, to modify or increase insurance requirements as may be determined by the project, conditions and exposure.

> Certification Terms and Conditions

It is noted that the City has a contractual relationship with the named vendor, contractor or provider (collectively referred hereinafter as Contractor) applicable to a purchase order, work order, contract or other form of commitment by the City of Sanford, whether in writing or not and has no such contractual relationship with the Contractor's insurance carrier. Therefore, the onus is on the Contractor to insure that they have the insurance coverage specified by the City to meet all contractual obligations and expectations of the City. Further, as the Contractor's insurance coverage is a matter between the vendor and its insurance carrier, the City will turn to the Contractor for relief as a result of any damages or alleged damages for which the Contractor is responsible to indemnify and hold the City harmless. It is understood that the Contractor may satisfy relief to the City for such damages either directly or through its insurance coverage; exclusions by the insurance carrier notwithstanding, the City will expect relief from the Contractor.

a. The insurance limits required and otherwise referenced are minimum limits acceptable to the City. In addition, all contractor policies shall be considered primary to City coverage and shall not contain co-insurance…
