The Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by County) and
hold harmless the County and its authorized officers, employees, agents and volunteers from any
and all claims, actions, losses, damages and/or liability arising out of this Contract from any cause
whatsoever, including the acts, errors or omissions of any person and for any costs or expenses
incurred by the County on account of any claim except where such indemnification is prohibited
by law. This indemnification provision shall apply regardless of the existence or degree of fault
of indemnities. The Contractor indemnification obligation applies to the County’s “active” as well
as “passive” negligence but does not apply to the County’s “sole negligence” or “willful
misconduct” within the meaning of Civil Code section 2782.
G.2 Additional Insured
All policies, except for Worker’s Compensation, Errors and Omissions and Professional Liability
policies shall contain additional endorsements naming the County and its officers, employees,
agents and volunteers as additional named insured with respect to liabilities arising out of the
performance of services hereunder. The additional insured endorsements shall not limit the
scope of coverage for the County to vicarious liability but shall allow coverage for the County to
Revised 06/16/2021 Page 12 of 17
the full extent provided by the policy. Such additional insured coverage shall be at least as broad
as Additional Insured (Form B) endorsement form ISO, CG 2010.11 85.
G.3 Waiver of Subrogation Rights
The Contractor shall require the carriers of required coverages to waive all rights of subrogation
against the County, its officers, employees, agents, volunteers, contractors and subcontractors.

Contractor’s employees or agents from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss or claim.
The Contractor hereby waives all rights of subrogation against the County.
G.4 Policies Primary and Non-Contributory
All policies required herein are to be primary and non-contributory with any insurance or self-
insurance programs carried or administered by the County.
G.5 Severability of Interests
The Contractor agrees to ensure that coverage provided to meet these requirements is applicable
separately to each insured and there will be no cross liability exclusions that preclude coverage
for suits between the Contractor and the County or between the County and any other insured or
additional insured under the policy.
G.6 Proof of Coverage
The Contractor shall furnish Certificates of Insurance to the County Department administering the
Contract evidencing the insurance coverage at the time the Contract is executed, additional
endorsements, as required shall be provided prior to the commencement of performance of
services hereunder, which certificates shall provide that such insurance shall not be terminated
or expire without thirty (30) days written notice to the Department, and Contractor shall maintain
such insurance from the time Contractor commences performance of services hereunder until the
completion of such services. Within fifteen (15) days of the commencement of this contract, the
Contractor shall furnish a copy of the Declaration page for all applicable policies and will provide
complete certified copies of the policies and endorsements immediately upon request.

G.8 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retention
Any and all deductibles or self-insured retentions in excess of $10,000 shall be declared to and
approved by Risk Management.
G.9 Failure to Procure Coverage
In the event that any policy of insurance required under this contract does not comply with the
requirements, is not procured, or is canceled and not replaced, the County has the right but not
the obligation or duty to cancel the contract or obtain insurance if it deems necessary and any
premiums paid by the County will be promptly reimbursed by the Contractor or County payments
to the Contractor will be reduced to pay for County purchased insurance.
G.10 Insurance Review
Insurance requirements are subject to periodic review by the County. The Director of Risk
Management or designee is authorized, but not required, to reduce, waive or suspend any
insurance requirements whenever Risk Management determines that any of the required
insurance is not available, is unreasonably priced, or is not needed to protect the interests of the
County. In addition, if the Department of Risk Management determines that heretofore
unreasonably priced or unavailable types of insurance coverage or coverage limits become
reasonably priced or available, the Director of Risk Management or designee is authorized, but
not required, to change the above insurance requirements to require additional types of insurance
Revised 06/16/2021 Page 13 of 17
coverage or higher coverage limits, provided that any such change is reasonable in light of past
claims against the County, inflation, or any other item reasonably related to the County’s risk.
Any change requiring additional types of insurance coverage or higher coverage limits must be
made by amendment to this contract. Contractor agrees to execute any such amendment within
thirty (30) days of receipt.
Any failure, actual or alleged, on the part of the County to monitor or enforce compliance with any
of the insurance and indemnification requirements will not be deemed as a waiver of any rights
on the part of the County.
G.11 The Contractor agrees to provide insurance set forth in accordance with the requirements herein.
If the Contractor uses existing coverage to comply with these requirements and that coverage
does not meet the specified requirements, the Contractor agrees to amend, supplement or

providing services on behalf of the Contractor and all risks to such persons under this
contract.

currently have any employees or individuals who are defined as “employees” under
the Labor Code and the requirement for Workers’ Compensation coverage will be
waived by the County’s Director of Risk Management.
With respect to Contractors that are non-profit corporations organized under California
or Federal law, volunteers for such entities are required to be covered by Workers’
Compensation insurance.

Revised 06/16/2021 Page 14 of 17
single limit of two million dollars ($2,000,000) for bodily injury and property damage
per occurrence.
If the Contractor owns no autos, a non-owned auto endorsement to the General
Liability policy described above is acceptable.

used to comply with limits or other primary coverage requirements. When used, the
umbrella policy shall apply to bodily injury/property damage, personal

e. Terminate this Contract immediately and be relieved of the payment of any consideration to
Contractor. In the event of such termination, the County may proceed with the work in any
