Apparently, the final draft of the Agreement did not reach Wackenhut's corporate headquarters in Florida until after the Mayor and Council approved it. Wackenhut executed and returned the document with a request that certain language be added to the paragraph covering insurance and made it clear that its approval of the agreement was contingent on the City's acceptance of the amendment. For reasons immaterial at this point, we found the amendment unacceptable. Further discussions resulted in Wackenhut agreeing to withdraw its proposed amendment and accept one incorporating the same insurance requirements found in its agreement with the City of Irvine. These requirements are substantially equal to those in the original agreement. Key provisions that remain unchanged include a minimum$5,000,000 policy limit in "occurrence" form, designation of the City, its officials and employees as additional insureds, and a requirement that Wackenhut's insurance be "primary" to City's. New provisions include one giving the City the right to review any deductible or a self-insured retention and one allowing the City to reject a policy written by a company which lacks Best's rating of`B+" or better. We recommend approval of the amendment. 75-0264 �'.. lL AMENDMENT NO. 1 r This amendment dated the 11th day of January, 1995 modifies the Services Agreement by and between THE WACKENHUT CORPORATION, hereinafter referred to as CONTRACTOR and the CITY OF SAN BERNADINO, hereinafter referred to as CITY, as follows: I Page 2, item 5 B shall be changed to read as follows: B.
