INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS INSURANCE: Review these insurance requirements and the insurance checklist which follows with your insurance agent rior to submitting the Insurance Affidavit and bid or proposal to the City of Paris. 1. General Insurance Requirements: 1.1 The Contractor shall not start work under this Contract until the Contractor has obtained at his own expense all of the insurance called for hereunder and in the Insurance Check List that follows and such insurance has been approved by the City; nor shall the Contractor allow any subcontractor to start work on any subcontract until all insurance required of the subcontractor has been so obtained and approved by the Contractor. Contractor must submit appropriate certificates of insurance detailing the required coverage before the Contract can be awarded. In certain instances, properly signed policy endorsements and/or certified copies of insurance policies showing the required coverage will be required. 1.2 The Contractor shall require all subcontractors who work under Contractor to maintain during the term of this agreement, policies of insurance providing the same type and amount of coverage as is required of the Contractor. The Contractor shall furnish subcontractors' certificates of insurance to the City immediately upon request. 1.3 All insurance policies required hereunder shall be endorsed to include the following provision: "It is agreed that this policy is not subject to cancellation, non-renewal, material change, or reduction in coverage until ten (10) days prior written notice has been given to the City Manager of the City of Paris, Texas, P. O. Box 9037, Paris, TX 75461-9037." 1.4 No acceptance and/or approval of any insurance by the City shall be construed as relieving or excusing the Contractor, or the surety, or its bond, from any liability or obligation imposed upon either or both of them by the provisions of the Contract Documents. 1.5 The City of Paris (including its elected officials, officers and employees) are to be named as an additional insured under all insurance policies under this Contract except Workers' Compensation, and the certificate of insurance, or the certified policy, if requested, must so state. Coverage afforded under this paragraph shall be primary as respects the City, its elected officials, officers and employees.
