<br />only upon such terms and conditions as City may set forth in writing. Consultant shall be solely
<br />responsible for reimbursing subcontractors.
<br />
<br />13. Indemnity and Hold Harmless. To the fullest extent permitted by law (including, without
<br />limitation, California Civil Code §§ 2782, 2782.6 and 2782.8), Consultant shall defend (with
<br />legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the City), indemnify, and hold harmless, the City and its
<br />officers, agents and employees (collectively “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims,
<br />loss, cost, damage, injury (including, without limitation, injury to or death of an employee of
<br />Consultant or its Subconsultants), expense, and liability of every kind, nature and description
<br />(including, without limitation, incidental and consequential damages, court costs, attorneys’ fees,
<br />litigation expenses and fees of expert consultants or expert witnesses incurred in connection
<br />therewith and costs of investigation) arising from, or alleged to have arisen from, pertain to, or
<br />relate to, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, the negligence, reckless, or willful misconduct
<br />of the Consultant, any Subconsultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them, or anyone
<br />that they control (collectively “Liabilities”) 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, cost, damage, injury or liability for damages. This
<br />indemnification shall extend for a reasonable period of time after completion of the project as
<br />well as during the period of actual performance of services under this Agreement. The City's
<br />acceptance of the insurance certificates required under this Agreement does not relieve the
<br />Consultant from its obligation under this paragraph. To the extent that there is an obligation to
<br />indemnify under this Section 13, Consultant shall be responsible for incidental and consequential
<br />damages resulting directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from Consultant’s negligence,
<br />reckless or willful misconduct.
<br />
<br />Such obligations to defend, hold harmless and indemnify any Indemnitee shall not apply to the
<br />extent such Liabilities are caused by the sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct
<br />of such Indemnitee. Obligation to defend shall be proportionate as to Consultant’s percentage of
<br />fault as provided in California Civil Code § 2782.8.
<br />
<br />14. Insurance. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall maintain in full force and
<br />effect, at its own cost and expense, insurance coverages with insurers with an A.M. Best’s rating
<br />of no less than A:VII. Contractor shall have the obligation to furnish City, as additional insured,
<br />the minimum coverages identified below, or such greater or broader coverage for City, if
<br />available in the Contractor’s policies:
<br />
<br />a. General Liability and Bodily Injury Insurance. Commercial general liability
<br />insurance with limits of at least $2,000,000 combined limit for bodily injury and property
<br />damage that provides that the City, its officers, employees and agents are named
<br />additional insureds under the policy. The policy shall state in writing either on the
<br />Certificate of Insurance or attached rider that this insurance will operate as primary
<br />insurance for work performed by Consultant and its subconsultants, and that no other
<br />insurance effected by City or other named insured will be called on to cover a loss.
<br />
<br /> b. Automobile Liability Insurance. Automobile liability insurance with limits not less
<br />than $2,000,000 per person/per occurrence.
