Insurance Requirements
Commercial Automobile Liability insurance as required herein. All policies of Subcontractors shall
include a waiver of any right of subrogation of the insurers thereunder against Construction
Manager and the additional insureds.
B. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The Construction Managers must furnish the City of Lake Wales, original Certificates of Insurance,
or such similar evidence, to be in force on the date of this Agreement, and Renewal Certificates of
Insurance, or such similar evidence, if any insurance coverage has an expiration or renewal date
occurring during the term of this Agreement. The Construction Manager must submit evidence of
insurance to the City of Lake Wales before award of Agreement. The receipt of any certificate does
not constitute agreement by the Commission that the insurance requirements in the Agreement
have been fully met or that the insurance policies indicated on the certificate are in compliance with
all Agreement requirements. The failure of the City of Lake Wales to obtain certificates or other
insurance evidence from the Construction Manager is not a waiver by the City of Lake Wales of any
requirements for the Construction Manager to obtain and maintain the specified coverage. The
Construction Manager will advise all insurers of the Agreement provisions regarding insurance. Non-
conforming insurance does not relieve Construction Manager of the obligation to provide insurance
as specified in this Agreement. Non-fulfillment of the insurance conditions may constitute a breach
of the Agreement, and the City of Lake Wales retains the right to stop work until proper evidence
of insurance is provided, or the Agreement may be terminated. The City of Lake Wales reserves the
right to obtain copies of insurance policies and records from the Construction Manager and/or its
subcontractors at any time upon written request.
The insurance must provide for 30 days prior written notice to be given to the City of Lake Wales if
any policies are canceled, substantially changed, or non-renewed.
Any deductibles or self-insured retentions on referenced insurance must be borne by Construction
Manager.
The Construction Manager hereby waives and agrees to require their insurers to waive their rights
of subrogation against the City of Lake Wales, the Owner's representative's and any other User
Agency or Owner or their respective Board members, employees, elected and appointed officials,
and representatives.
The insurance coverage and limits furnished by the Construction Manager in no way limit the
Construction Managers liabilities and responsibilities specified within the Agreement or by law.
Any insurance or self-insurance programs maintained by the City of Lake Wales, and any other User
Agency or Owner do not contribute with insurance provided by the Construction Manager under the
Agreement.
The required insurance to be carried is not limited by any limitations expressed in the
indemnification language in this Agreement or any limitation placed on the indemnity in the
Agreement given as a matter of law.
If Construction Manager is a joint venture or limited liability company, the insurance policies must
name the joint venture or limited liability company as a named insured.
If Construction Manager or its subcontractors desire additional coverage, the party desiring the
additional coverage is responsible for the acquisition and cost.
The Owner's Risk Management Department maintains the rights to modify, delete, alter or change
these requirements.
