<br />11. Indemnity and Hold Harmless. Consultant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless, the
<br />City and its officers, agents and employees from and against all claims, losses, damage, injury,
<br />and liability for damages arising from, or alleged to have arisen from, errors, omissions,
<br />negligent or wrongful acts of the Consultant in the performance of its services under this
<br />Agreement, regardless of whether the City has reviewed or approved the work or services which
<br />has given rise to the claim, loss, damage, injury or liability for damages. This indemnification
<br />shall extend for a reasonable period of time after completion of the project as well as during the
<br />period of actual performance of services under this Agreement. The City’s acceptance of the
<br />insurance certificates required under this Agreement does not relieve the Consultant from its
<br />obligation under this paragraph.

<br />effect, at its own cost and expense, insurance coverages with insurers with an A.M. Best’s rating

<br />provides that the City, its officers, employees and agents are named as additional insureds under
<br />the policy as evidenced by an additional insured endorsement satisfactory to the City Attorney.
<br />The policy shall state in writing either on the Certificate of Insurance or attached rider that this
<br />insurance will operate as primary insurance for work performed by Consultant and its
<br />subconsultants, and that no other insurance effected by City or other named insured will be
<br />called on to cover a loss.

<br />$2,000,000 per person/per occurrence.

<br />set forth in this Agreement. The Certificate of Insurance shall provide in writing that the
<br />insurance afforded by this Certificate shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, reduced in
<br />coverage or in limits without providing notice to the City in accordance with California
<br />Insurance Code section 677.2 which requires the notice of cancellation to: 1) include the
<br />effective date of the cancellation; 2) include the reasons for the cancellation; and 3) be given at
<br />least 30 days prior to the effective date of the cancellation, except that in the case of cancellation
<br />for nonpayment of premiums or for fraud, the notice shall be given no less than 10 days prior to
<br />the effective date of the cancellation. Notice shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt
<br />requested. In addition, the insured shall provide thirty (30) days prior written notice to the City
