<br />employees, agents, representatives or subcontractors/subconsultants), whether such Claims sound
<br />in contract, tort, or any other legal theory. The Service Provider is obligated to defend and
<br />indemnify and save harmless the City pursuant to this Section 10 whether a Claim is asserted
<br />directly against the City, or whether it is asserted indirectly against the City, e.g., a Claim is
<br />asserted against someone else who then seeks contribution or indemnity from the City. The
<br />Service Provider’s duty to defend and indemnify and save harmless pursuant to this Section 10 is
<br />not in any way limited to, or by the extent of, insurance obtained by, obtainable by, or required of
<br />the Service Provider. The Service Provider’s obligations under this Section 10 shall not apply to
<br />Claims caused by the sole negligence of the City. If (1) RCW 4.24.115 applies to a particular
<br />Claim, and (2) such Claim is caused by or results from the concurrent negligence of (a) the Service
<br />Provider, its employees, subcontractors/subconsultants or agents and (b) the City, then the Service
<br />Provider’s liability under this Section 10 shall be only to the extent of Service Provider’s
<br />negligence. Solely and expressly for the purpose of its duties to indemnify and defend and save
<br />harmless the City, the Service Provider specifically waives any immunity it may have under the
<br />State Industrial Insurance Law, Title 51 RCW. The Service Provider recognizes that this waiver
<br />of immunity under Title 51 RCW was specifically entered into pursuant to the provisions of RCW
<br />4.24.115 and was the subject of mutual negotiation. As used in this Section 10: (1) “City” includes
<br />the City, the City’s officers, employees, agents, and representatives and (2) “Claims” include, but
<br />is not limited to, any and all losses, penalties, fines, claims, demands, expenses (including, but not
<br />limited to, attorney’s fees and litigation expenses), suits, judgments, or damages, irrespective of
<br />the type of relief sought or demanded, such as money or injunctive relief, and whether the damage
<br />alleged is bodily injury, damage to property, or other type of event or theory of recovery. If, and
<br />to the extent, Service Provider employs or engages subconsultants or subcontractors, then Service
<br />Provider shall ensure that each such subconsultant and subcontractor (and subsequent tiers of
<br />subconsultants and subcontractors) shall expressly agree to defend and indemnify and save
<br />harmless the City to the extent and on the same terms and conditions as the Service Provider
<br />pursuant to this Section 10. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the expiration or
<br />termination of this Agreement.
<br />
<br />11. Insurance.
<br /> A. Service Provider shall comply with the following conditions and procure and keep in force
<br />during the term of this Agreement, at Service Provider’s own cost and expense, the following
<br />policies of insurance with companies authorized to do business in the State of Washington, which
<br />are rated at least “A” or better and with a numerical rating of no less than seven (7), by A.M. Best
<br />Company and which are acceptable to the City.
<br />
<br /> 1. Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by Washington law and Employer’s
<br />Liability Insurance with limits not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. If the City
<br />authorizes sublet work, the Service Provider shall require each subcontractor to provide
<br />Workers’ Compensation Insurance for its employees, unless the Service Provider covers
<br />such employees.
<br />
<br /> 2. Commercial General Liability Insurance on an occurrence basis in an amount not
<br />less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and at least $2,000,000 in the annual aggregate,
<br />including but not limited to: premises/operations (including off-site operations), blanket
<br />contractual liability and broad form property damage.
