The Parties expressly agree that any reasonable payment, attorney's fee, cost or expense City incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under the City's self- administered workers' compensation is included as a loss, expense or cost for the purposes of this section to the extent such injury is caused by willful misconduct or negligent act or omission of Special Counsel, and that this section will survive the expiration or early termination of the Agreement. 14. Insurance. Special Counsel will obtain and maintain for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the Services by Special Counsel or Special Counsel's agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. The insurance will be obtained from an insurance carrier admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California.

Special Counsel will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless Risk Manager or City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney approves a lower amount. These minimum amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on Special Counsel's indemnification obligations under this Agreement. City, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by Special Counsel pursuant 3 to this Agreement are adequate to protect Special Counsel. If Special Counsel believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Special Counsel will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Special Counsel deems adequate, at Special Counsel's sole expense. 13.1.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance $1,000,000 combined single -limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If the submitted policies contain aggregate limits, general aggregate limits will apply separately to the work under this Agreement or the general aggregate will be twice the required per occurrence limit. 13.1.2 Automobile Liability. $1,000,000 combined single -limit per accident for bodily injury and property damage. 13.1.3 Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liabiliy. Workers' Compensation limits as required by the California Labor Code and Employer's Liability limits of $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury.

Errors and omissions liability appropriate to Special Counsel's profession with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per claim. 13.2 Additional Provisions.

Special Counsel is responsible for any payments made by City to obtain or maintain insurance and City may collect these payments from Special Counsel or deduct the amount paid from any sums due Special Counsel under this Agreement. 13.5 Submission of Insurance Policies. City reserves the right to require, at any time, complete and certified copies of any or all required insurance policies and endorsements. 4 13.6 Primary Coverage. For any claims related to the Services and this Agreement, the Special Counsel's insurance coverage will be primary insurance with respect to City, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees.
