CLAIMS-MADE POLICIES -If any of the required policies provide coverage on a claims-made basis: • The retroactive date must be shown, and this date must be before the execution date of the contract or the beginning of contract work. • Insurance must be maintained, and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work. • If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims- made policy form with a Retroactive Date prior to the contract effective date, the Consultant must purchase "extended reporting" coverage for a minimum of five ( 5) years after completion of contract work. • If the services involve lead-based paint or asbestos identification / remediation, the Contractors Pollution Liability policy shall not contain a mold exclusion, and the definition of Pollution shall include microbial matter, including mold. 6. UMBRELLA OR EXCESS LIABILITY may satisfy minimum liability limits required above for Commercial General Liability (CGL) under an Umbrellas or Excess Liability policy. There is no minimum Per Occurrence limit of liability under the Umbrellas or Excess Liability: however, the Annual Aggregate limit shall not be less than the highest Each Occurrence limit for either Commercial General Lability 37 or Business Auto Liability. Contractor agrees to endorse the City its officers, agents, volunteers, lessees, invitees and employees, covered as an additional insured on the Umbrellas or Excess Liability and the Certificate oflnsurance states that the Umbrella or Excess Liability provides coverage on a "Follow-Form" basis. B. Prior to construction starting, Contractor shall furnish the City with certificates of insurance evidencing the required coverage, conditions, and limits required by this agreement and make the City, its officers, agents, volunteers, lessees, invitees, and employees, covered as an additional insured on each policy of insurance that Contractor is required to maintain under the contract documents and provide the appropriate additional insured endorsement(s). Each additional insured endorsement shall expressly afford coverage to the additional insured's not only arising out of the named insured's operations or work but also arising out of the named insured' s completed operations. All insurance shall be written by an insurer or insurers acceptable to City and with a minimum financial rating not lower than "A-" in Best's Insurance Guide, latest edition. C. City's receipt or review of any certificate of insurance reflecting that Contractor or one of its subcontractors or suppliers has failed or may have failed to comply with any insurance requirement of the contract documents shall not constitute a waiver of any of City's insurance rights under the contract documents, with all such rights being fully and completely reserved by the City. D. Contractor hereby 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. E. Similarly, Contractor shall require insurance with the same coverage and limits from its subcontractors and suppliers, and their insurance policies shall be endorsed to name the same additional insureds as required of Contractor. F. All completed operations coverages shall be maintained by Contractor and its subcontractors or suppliers for five (5) years following the completion of the Project. G. Any coverage available to the City as a named insured shall be secondary, so that the coverage to the City as an additional insured on the policies maintained by Contractor and subcontractors is primary, including any umbrellas or excess policies. H. No provision of this agreement shall constitute a waiver of the member's right to assert a defense based on sovereign immunity, official immunity, or any other immunity available under law. For any claim or suit seeking damages from the Missouri municipality scheduled in this endorsement because of "bodily injury", "property damage", or "personal and advertising injury" caused by "your work", the coverage provided herein does not apply to any claim or "suit" which is barred by the doctrines of sovereign immunity, qualified immunity, and/or official immunity although defense of such actions will be provided. No provision of this condition of coverage, endorsement, or this policy, will constitute a waiver of this company's right to assert a defense based on the doctrines of sovereign immunity, qualified immunity, and/or official immunity. 38 I. If the contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City. J. If Contractor is a transient employer as defined in Section 285.230 RSMo, Contractor must post in a prominent and easily accessible place at the Work site a clearly legible copy of the following: (1) the notice of registration for employer withholding issued to such transient employer by the Director of Revenue; (2) proof of coverage for workers' compensation insurance or self-insurance signed by the transient employer and verified by the Department of Revenue through the records of the Division of Workers' Compensation; and (3) the notice ofregistration for unemployment insurance issued to such transient employer by the Division of Employment Security. Any transient employer failing to comply with these requirements shall, under Section 285.234 RSMo be liable for a penalty of $500 per day until the notice required by this Paragraph are posted as required by law. K. Any self-insured retention (SIR) must be declared to and approved by the city prior to any work being performed under this agreement. When the SIR exceeds $25,000, the city may require proof of ability to pay all claims handling and defense costs, such as an audited financial statement or bond. Any SIR is the sole responsibility of the contractor or sub-contractor, if any. The city reserves the right to deduct from the final payment to the contractor any unsatisfied SIR which would result in a lien against the project. All SIRs will be shown on the Certificate oflnsurance. ARTICLE IX INDEMNITY A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City, its employees, officers, and agents, and any architects, engineers, or other design professionals engaged by or on behalf of City, from and against claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including but not limited to attorney's fees, arising out of or resulting from the performance of the Work, provided that such claim, damage, loss, or expenses is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease, or death or to injury to or destruction of tangible property ( other than the Work itself), but only to the extent caused or allegedly caused by the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Contractor, a Subcontractor or supplier, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by them, or anyone for whose acts they may be liable, regardless of whether such claim, damage, loss, or expense is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder. This obligation is not intended to, and shall not, negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity that would otherwise exist as to a party or person as set forth in this Agreement. B. In claims against any person or entity indemnified herein by an employee of Contractor, a Subcontractor or supplier, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or for whose acts they may be liable, the indemnification obligation shall not be limited by a limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits payable by or for Contractor or a Subcontractor or supplier under workers' compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts. 39 ARTICLEX PATENT LIABILITY Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City, its officers, employees and agents from and against any claim, action or suit that may be brought against them for Contractor's infringement of any Letters Patent in the performance of this Agreement or any breach or violation of trademark or proprietary or trade secret rights of others, as well as against any judgments, decrees, damages, costs and expenses sought, adjudicated, or recovered against any of them, on account of any such actual or alleged infringement.

In such case the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If such costs exceed the unpaid balance due to Contractor, the Contractor will pay the difference to the City. B. If City exercises its right to take over and complete any part or all of the Work, City and its designees shall have access to and may take possession of Contractor's materials, tools, equipment, and other items at the Project site, en route to the site, or in storage or being manufactured or fabricated away from the site, as may be necessary to prosecute the Work taken over by City, and may employ Contractor's employees or former employees, all without any liability to Contractor. C. Contractor shall be liable for and shall pay to City all costs and expenses of whatsoever nature incurred by City as a result of any default by Contractor, including but not limited to the cost of labor, supervision, materials, tools, equipment, services, overhead, travel, and legal and accounting fees. Contractor also shall be liable for and shall pay to City all charges, liabilities, fines, penalties, losses, damages, and claims sustained by or assessed against City as a result of any delay or disruption resulting from any default by Contractor. The total amount of such costs, expenses, charges, liabilities, fines, penalties, losses, damages, and claims may be deducted by City from the amount, if any, otherwise due Contractor, and Contractor shall pay City the full amount of any excess of such total over the amount otherwise due Contractor. D. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to City by the Contract Documents is exclusive of any other right or remedy provided or permitted in the Contract Documents or by law or equity, but each right or remedy is cumulative of every other right or remedy, and every right or remedy may be enforced concurrently or from time to time. No exercise by City of any right or remedy shall relieve Contractor from full and absolute responsibility for all of Contractor's obligations under the Contract Documents. E. No failure or delay of City to give notice to correct any default of Contractor or to exercise any of City's rights or remedies shall waive or excuse the default, and City shall remain free to pursue all rights and remedies. No failure of City to insist, in any one or more instances, upon the performance of any of Contractor's obligations under the Contract Documents shall be deemed or construed as a waiver or relinquishment of City's right to insist upon strict performance of the obligation in any future instance. F. If through no act or fault of the Contractor, the Work is suspended for a period of more than ninety (90) days by the City or under an order of court or other public authority, or the City fails to act on any request for payment within thirty (30) days after it is submitted, or the City fails to pay the Contractor substantially the sum approved by the Resident Project Representative and Administrator, then the Contractor may after ten (10) days from delivery of written notice to the City terminate the Agreement and recover from the City payment for all Work executed. G. The City, without terminating the service of the Contractor or written notice to the Surety, through the Administrator may withhold, without prejudice to the rights of the City under the terms of the Agreement, or on account of subsequently discovered evidence, nullify the whole or part of any approved partial payment estimate to such extent as may be necessary to protect the City from loss on account of (l) defective Work not remedied, (2) claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probably 42 filing of c1aims, (3) failure of Contractor to make payments property to Subcontractors or for material or labor, (4) a reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the balance then unpaid, (5) damages to another contractor, or (6) performance of Work in violation of the terms of the Contract Documents. ARTICLE XV TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, City may, at any time, for any reason, and without Contractor's being in default, terminate Contractor's performance of any part or all of the Work for City's own convenience by giving written notice to Contractor. Upon receipt of notice of termination for City's convenience, Contractor shall, to the extent directed by City, stop Work and turn over to City or City's designee materials and equipment purchased for the Work. City shall pay Contractor, in accordance with the Contract Documents, for only so much of the Work as is actually performed as of the termination for convenience. City shall not be obligated to Contractor for any further payment, including but not limited to prospective overhead or profit on unperformed Work. If a termination by City of Contractor's right to proceed on the ground of default by Contractor is determined later to have been improper, the termination automatically shall be converted to a termination for City's convenience, and City's obligation to Contractor shall be limited to payment to Contractor as provided in this Article. ARTICLE XVI COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS A. Contractor shall comply strictly with all federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, and the like applicable to the Work, including, but not limited to any applicable prompt payment laws.

City's consent to any assignment, subcontra,ct, or purchase order shall not relieve Contractor from any obligation under the Contract Documents, nor shall it create any obligation from City to any assignee, Subcontractor, or vendor. B. Each subcontract or purchase order issued by Contractor for any of the Work shall be in writing and shall provide that City is an intended third-party beneficiary of the subcontract or purchase order. C. The Contractor shall be fully responsible to the City for the acts and omissions of its Subcontractors, and of person either directly or indirectly employed by them, as the Contractor is for the acts and omissions of person directly employed by it. D. The Contractor shall cause appropriate provisions to be inserted in all subcontracts relative to the Work to bind Subcontractors to the Contractor by the terms of the Contract Documents insofar as applicable to the Work of Subcontractors and give the Contractor the same power as regards terminating any Subcontract that the City may exercise over the Contractor under any provision of the Contract Documents. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any contractual relation between any Subcontractor and the City . 44 E. Each subcontract or purchase order issued by Contractor for any of the Work shall provide that it is freely assignable by Contractor to City. Contractor hereby assigns to City all its interest in any present or future subcontract or purchase order issued by Contractor for any or all of the Work. This assignment shall be effective upon acceptance by City in writing and only as to the specific subcontract(s) and/or purchase order(s) that City designates in the writing.

ARTICLE XX SEP ARA TE CONTRACTS A. The City reserves the right enter into other contracts in connection with the Project. The Contractor shall afford other contractors reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of their materials and the execution of their Work, and shall properly connect and coordinate the work with theirs.

B. The City may perform additional work related to the Project or the City may enter into other contracts containing provisions similar to these. The Contractor will afford the other contractors who are parties to such contracts (or the City, if the City is performing the additional work) reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment and the execution of work, and shall properly connect and coordinate the Work with theirs. C. If the performance of additional work by other contractors or the City is not noted in the Contract Documents prior to the execution of the contract, written notice thereof shall be given to the Contractor prior to starting any such addition work.

The City will give notice of observed defects with reasonable promptness. In the event that the Contractor fails to make such repairs, adjustments or other Work that may be necessary by such defects, the City may do so and charge the Contractor the cost thereby incurred. In emergency where, in the judgment of the City, delay would cause serious loss or damage, repairs and replacement of defects in the Work and damage caused by defects may be made without notice being sent to the Contractor, and the Contractor shall pay the cost thereof. Neither final payment, Engineer's Final Certificate, nor any other provision in the Contract Documents shall affect Contractor's obligation to complete the Work free of defects in workmanship and material. B. Contractor shall remain solely responsible for the performance of the Work as required by the Contract Documents, notwithstanding any suggestions or observations made by another person or entity with respect to the Work. C. This Article does not establish a period of limitation with respect to any obligation of Contractor under the Contract Documents, and does not limit the time allowed by law for any action for breach of such obligation.

Contractor shall require its on-site employees to complete a construction safety program within sixty (60) days after the date Work on the Project commences. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any of Contractor's employees found on the Project site without documentation of the successful completion of a construction safety program shall be required to produce such documentation within twenty (20) days, or will be subject to removal from the Project.

The penalty described in this Paragraph shall not begin to accrue until the time periods herein have elapsed. Violations of this requirement and imposition of the penalty described in this Paragraph shall be investigated and determined by the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. F. If City deems any part of the Work or the Project site unsafe, City, without assuming responsibility for Contractor's safety program, may require Contractor to stop performance of the Work or take corrective measures satisfactory to City, or both.

Contractor shall make no claim for damages, for an increase in the Contract Amount, or for a change in the time for performance of the Work based on Contractor's compliance with City's reasonable request. ARTICLE XXVII AUTHORIZED EMPLOYEES Contractor acknowledges that Section 285.530 RSMo prohibits any business entity or employer from knowingly employing, hiring for employment, or continuing to employ an unauthorized alien to perform work within the State of Missouri.
