The City may require the <br />Consultant to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses <br />and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention. The <br />policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be <br />satisfied by either the named insured or City. <br /> <br />Acceptability of Insurers <br />Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized to conduct business in the state with a current <br />A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A:VII, unless otherwise acceptable to the City. <br /> <br />Claims Made Policies (note – should be applicable only to professional liability, see below) <br />If any of the required policies provide claims-made coverage: <br />1. The Retroactive Date must be shown, and must be before the date of the contract or <br />the beginning of contract work. <br />2. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least <br />five (5) years after completion of the contract of work. <br />3. If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made <br />policy form with a Retroactive Date prior to the contract effective date, the Consultant <br />must purchase “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after <br />completion of work. <br /> <br />Verification of Coverage <br />Consultant shall furnish the City with original Certificates of Insurance including all required <br />amendatory endorsements (or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required <br />by this clause) and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsement Page of the CGL policy listing all <br />policy endorsements to City before work begins. However, failure to obtain the required <br />documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive the Consultant’s obligation to provide them. <br /> <br />The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, <br />including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time. <br />
