Appendix INSURANCE Technical Proposal Professional On-Call Civil Engineering and Architectural Services Response File for: LAND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES Appendix - INSURANCE App.1 Technical Proposal Professional On-Call Civil Engineering and Architectural Services Response File for: LAND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES If selected by the City for this project, we will appreciate the opportunity of having our Attorney discuss the final contract language to ensure our insurance is in compliance with current laws and regulations and meets the City’s requirements with the City’s Attorney. Following items may be discussed: • For insurability purposes, any duty to defend which is not expressly deleted or defined as a reimbursement to the extent of the adjudicated negligence will present insurability issues. • Insurance may not cover payment for any of the City’s’ defense related cost prior to a final determination of liability or to pay any amount that exceeds Contractor’s finally determined percentage of liability based upon the comparative fault of Contractor. Consultant should reimburse all reasonable attorneys’ fees as part of City’s total damages tied directly to Consultant’s determined percentage of fault. • For insurability purposes, one of the most important contract terms is to ensure the word "negligent" is evident in the indemnity clause. Absent a negligence trigger for claims, a client or owner could present claims with no allegations of negligence, and the professional liability may have coverage implications. Inserting "negligent" acts, errors, or omissions can help make the entire indemnity subject to an appropriate standard of care. • Many contracts use phrases such as: “arising out of or in connection with". This can allow the certificate holder to assert claims that vaguely involve our scope of services. By replacing such phrases with "but only to the extent actually caused by", the claimant must establish that the negligence was the proximate cause of the damage, otherwise known as direct causation, would be insurable. • For insurability purposes, we suggest limiting the obligation to only those parties with whom we have the contract, or who are in direct contractual privity to the project owner. • For insurability purposes, in the event of any dispute between the Parties related to this Agreement or this Project, we recommend that the Parties agree to first negotiate in good faith toward a resolution with participation by representatives of each Party holding sufficient authority to resolve the dispute. If such dispute cannot be resolved in this manner, before any action or litigation is initiated other than as required to secure lien rights, the dispute should be submitted to mediation using the American Arbitration Association or another mediator as mutually selected by the Parties. Such mediation should be completed within a reasonable period of time following either Party’s written demand with each Party to bear an equal share of the mediation fees and its own respective attorney and consultant fees and costs.”
