<br />Waiver of Subrogation
<br />Contractor hereby grants to City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Contractor may
<br />acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. Contractor agrees to obtain any
<br />endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of
<br />whether or not the City has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.
<br />Self -Insured Retentions
<br />Self -insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City may require the Contractor to
<br />purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim

<br />provide, that the self -insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or City.
<br />Acceptability of Insurers
<br />Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized to conduct business in the state with a current A.M. Best's rating

<br />work.

<br />for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of work.
<br />Verification of Coverage
<br />Contractor shall furnish the City with original certificates and amendatory endorsements or copies of the applicable
<br />policy language effecting coverage required by this clause. All certificates and endorsements are to be received
<br />and approved by the City before work commences. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the
<br />work beginning shall not waive the Contractor's obligation to provide them. The City reserves the right to require
<br />complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these
<br />specifications, at any time.
<br />Special Risks or Circumstances
<br />City reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior

<br />compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief arising out of claims for personal injury, including death, and
