16.2 These requirements must be used in conjunction with the California Stormwater Quality
Association and California Best Management Practices Municipal and Construction Handbooks,
local program guidance materials from municipalities, and any other applicable documents on
stormwater quality controls for construction. Contractor’s failure to comply with this Section will
result in the issuance of noncompliance notices, citations, Work stop orders and regulatory fines.

25 03 or 25 04) or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit.
a. It shall be a requirement under this agreement that any available insurance proceeds broader than or in excess
of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or limits shall be made available to the
Additional Insured and shall be (1) the minimum coverage/limits specified in this agreement; or (2) the broader
coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy, whichever is greater.

contribution from City’s insurance/self-insurance, and shall be at least as broad as ISO CG 20 10 04 13

insurance, provided each policy complies with the requirements set forth in this Contract. Any umbrella or
excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a
primary basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to
protect City as a named insured.
2. Automobile Liability: ISO Form CA 00 01 covering any auto (Code 1), or if Contractor has no owned autos, then
hired autos (Code 8) and non-owned autos (Code 9), with limit no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily

proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
Self-Insured Retentions. Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At City’s option, either:
(1) Contractor shall cause the insurer to reduce or eliminate self-insured retentions as respects City, its officers,
officials, employees, and volunteers; or (2) Contractor shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to City
guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses. The policy
language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named
insured or the City.
OTHER INSURANCE PROVISIONS
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
Additional Insured Status
The City of Cupertino, its City Council, officers, officials, employees, agents, servants and volunteers are to be covered
as additional insureds on the CGL and automobile liability policies with respect to liability arising out of the Services
performed by or on behalf of Contractor including materials, parts, or equipment furnished. Endorsement of CGL
coverage shall be at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85 or if not available, through the addition of both CG

Primary Coverage
For any claims related to this Project, Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be “primary and non-contributory” and
at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 with respect to City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers, and shall
not seek contribution from City’s insurance. If the limits of insurance are satisfied in part by Umbrella/Excess

also apply on a “primary and non-contributory” basis for the benefit of City.
Notice of Cancellation
Each insurance policy required shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the City. Each
certificate of insurance must state that the coverage afforded by the policy is in force and will not be reduced, cancelled
or allowed to expire without at least 30 days advance written notice to City, unless due to non-payment of premiums,
in which case ten days advance written notice must be provided to City. Such notice must be sent to City via certified
mail and addressed to the attention of the City Manager.
Builder’s Risk
Contractor may submit Builder’s Risk insurance in the form of Course of Construction coverage, which shall name
the City as a loss payee, as its interest may appear. The Builder’s Risk policy must be issued on an occurrence basis,
for all-risk coverage on a 100% completed value basis on the insurable portion of the Project, with no coinsurance
penalties, and for the benefit of City. If the Project does not involve new or major reconstruction, City may elect, acting
in its sole discretion, to accept an Installation Floater policy instead of Builder’s Risk. For such projects, the Property
Installation Floater shall include improvement, remodel, modification, alteration, conversion or adjustment to existing
buildings, structures, processes, machinery and equipment, and shall provide property damage coverage for any
building, structure, machinery or equipment damaged, impaired, broken, or destroyed during the performance of the

Work, including during transit, installation, and testing at the City’s site.
Waiver of Subrogation
Each required policy must include an endorsement providing that the carrier agrees to waive any right of subrogation
it may have against City. Contractor agrees to waive rights of subrogation which any insurer of Contractor may acquire
from Contractor by virtue of the payment of any loss. Contractor agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be
necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation. The Workers’ Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of
subrogation in favor of the City for all work performed by the Contractor, its employees, agents and subcontractors.
Acceptability of Insurers
Insurance must be issued by insurers acceptable to City and licensed to do business in the State of California, and each
insurer must have an A.M. Best’s financial strength rating of “A” or better and a financial size rating of “VII” or better.
Verification of Coverage
Contractor shall furnish the City with original certificates and amendatory endorsements, or copies of the applicable
insurance language, effecting coverage required by this contract. All certificates and endorsements are to be received
and approved by the City before work commences. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of
all required insurance policies, including endorsements, required by these specifications, at any time.
Subcontractors
Contractor shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated
herein, and Contractor shall ensure that City is an additional insured on insurance required from subcontractors. For
CGL coverage subcontractors shall provide coverage with a form at least as broad as CG 20 38 04 13.
Surety Bonds
As required by Contract and described in the Contract Documents. The Payment and Performance Bonds shall be in a
sum equal to the Contract Price. If the Performance Bond provides for a one-year warranty a separate Maintenance
Bond is not necessary. If the warranty period specified in the Contract is for longer than one year a Maintenance Bond
equal to 10% of the Contract Price is required. Bonds shall be duly executed by a responsible corporate surety,
authorized to issue such bonds in the State of California and secured through an authorized agent with an office in
