Page 10 of 14 DocuSign Envelope ID:2CADC031-C2B3-4832-B36B-1BA0A0984CEF INSURANCE ADDENDUM INSURANCE DEFINITIONS, REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS The Vendor/Contractor agrees to provide and maintain throughout the life of this Agreement, and at Vendor/Contractor's expense, insurance coverage outlined herewith as applicable insuring all operations related to the contract and any extensions thereof. Workers Compensation and Employers Liability Statutory and subject to the Laws of the State of Florida. This coverage protects against lawsuits stemming from workplace accidents. It provides for medical care to injured employees, along with compensation for lost income. Commercial General Liability It protects against accidents and injuries that occur on company property or the property of a customer. It compensates an injured person or owner of property for injuries and property damages, and the cost of defending lawsuits, including legal settlements or investigations. This policy also covers claims resulting from products exposures, libel, slander, copyright infringement and other personal and advertisement injuries. Commercial Automobile Liability It protects against liability, no fault, medical payments, uninsured and underinsured motorist claims, collision and other than collision physical damage. In addition, this policy affords coverage on autos that are hired or borrowed or non -owned for use in the business. The non -owned can be autos owned by employees or members of their households. Non -Owned Auto exposures can be endorsed or added under the Commercial General Liability Policy. Professional/Errors and Omissions Liability Used by many professionals such as engineers, lawyers, accountants, stockbrokers, financial advisers, insurance agents, court reports, dentists, nurses, and teachers. It protects against the financial effects of liability lawsuits filed by clients. It basically protects professionals who cause harm to a client due to incompetence, errors, or negligence. Umbrella Liability It protects against liability and losses after primary insurance benefits have been exhausted. This supplemental coverage kicks in only after the underlined liability policies have paid their maximum benefits. Environmental Liability It protects against the financial costs of claims of injury or damage due to pollution, and other costs of cleaning up pollutants. These policies are designed to cover both property and liability risks. Page 11 of 14 DocuSign Envelope ID:2CADC031-C2B3-4832-B36B-1BA0A0984CEF Directors and Officers Liability This coverage protects against claims from stockholders, employees and clients that are also aimed individually at directors and officers. These claims typically stem from errors in judgement, breaches of duty and wrongful acts in connection with company business. Cyber Liability It protects against costs of the theft, destruction, or unauthorized use of electronic data through computer viruses or network intrusions. It also adds protection to a business against such costs if a business fails to safeguard another party's electronic data. Companies sharing data outside their internal network benefit from this coverage. Commercial Property It protects against claims or damages to the insured's buildings, business personal property and personal property of others. It can also provide for loss of business income coverage or extra expenses incurred because of physical loss by a covered peril to the insured's property. Commercial Crime It protects against loss of money, securities, and other property because of a variety of criminal acts such as employee theft or embezzlement, burglary, robbery, forgery, computer fraud, kidnapping and extortion. Crime insurance also covers money and securities against damage or destruction by almost any cause of loss, not just crime. Builders Risk It protects against damage to or destruction of buildings or other structures during their construction. Any party with a financial interest in a construction, remodeling, or repair project benefits from this coverage. Surety Bonds Surety bonds are three party contracts. The principal, the party that undertakes the obligation, pays for the issuance of a bond by a surety company. The bond provides capital to guarantee the obligation will be performed. The obligee is the party that receives the benefit of the bond If the obligation is improperly performed. Valuable Papers It pays for the cost to reconstruct damaged or destroyed valuable papers and records. Typically defined to include almost all forms of printed documents or records with the exception of money or securities, and data and media which is usually excluded. Additional Requirements The Vendor/Contractor must furnish the City of Miami Departments of Procurement and Risk Management, located at 444 S.W. 2nd Avenue Miami, Florida 33130, original certificates of insurance to be in force on the date of this Agreement, and renewal certificates of insurance thereafter. All policies Page 12 of 14 DocuSign Envelope ID:2CADC031-C2B3-4832-B36B-1BA0A0984CEF indicated on the certificate must be in compliance with all Agreement requirements. The failure of the City to obtain the applicable or corresponding certificates from Contractor is not a waiver by the City of any requirements for the Vendor/Contractor. The Vendor/Contractor must furnish certificates of insurance listing the City as an additional insured. All insurance certificates must be signed, dated, and reference the City contract number. The insurance must provide for thirty (30) days prior written notice to be given to the City in the event coverage is substantially changed, canceled, or non -renewed. Any deductibles or self -insured retentions on referenced insurance coverages must be borne by Vendor/Contractor. The Vendor/Contractor further agrees to have insurers waive their rights of subrogation against the City, its employees, elected officials, agents, or representatives. The coverages and limits furnished by Vendor/Contractor in no way limit the Vendor/Contractor's liabilities and responsibilities specified within the Agreement or law. Any insurance or self-insurance programs maintained by the City shall not contribute with insurance provided by the Vendor/Contractor 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 this Agreement given as a matter of law. If the Vendor/Contractor is a joint venture or limited liability company, the insurance policies must name the joint venture or limited liability company and each of its separate constituent entities as named insureds. The Vendor/Contractor must require all subcontractors to provide the insurance required herein. All subcontractors are subject to the same insurance requirements of the Vendor/Contractor unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. If the Vendor/Contractor or subcontractor desire additional coverages, the party desiring the additional coverages is responsible for the acquisition and cost. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the City's Department of Risk Management maintains and reserves the right to modify, delete, alter, or change these requirements.
