damages or awards resulting from claims demands and causes of action for personal injuries, death or damages to property alleged or actual infringement of patents, copyrights, and trademarks and without limitation by enumeration, all other claims, demands, or causes of action of every character occurring, resulting, or arising from any negligent or intentional wrongful act, error or omission of the Consultant and/or its agents and/or employees. This obligation by the Consultant will not be limited because of the specification of any particular insurance coverage required under this Agreement. (b) The Consultant will procure and maintain at its own expense insurance with insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Texas, covering all operations under this Agreement, whether performed by the Consultant or its agents, subcontractors or employees. Before commencing the work the Consultant will furnish to the City a certificate or certificates in a form satisfactory to the City, showing that the Consultant has complied with this paragraph. All certificates will provide that the policies will not be canceled until at least 30 calendar days prior written notice has been given to the City. Failure of the Consultant to demand a certificate or other sufficient evidence of full compliance with these insurance requirements or failure of the Consultant to identify a deficiency from the evidence that is provided as proof of insurance will not be construed as a waiver of the Consultant's obligation to maintain the required insurance coverage specified herein. Commercial general liability and motor vehicle insurance will be written with the City as an additional insured and will be endorsed to provide a waiver of the carrier's right of subrogation against the City. The kinds and amounts of insurance required are as follows: Workers' Compensation Insurance and/or Employer's Liability: In accordance with the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act of the State of Texas and/or $500,000.00/$500,000.00 for Employer's Liability. Liability Insurance: (1) Commercial general liability insurance (standard ISO version) with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 for each occurrence and $1,000,000 in the aggregate, providing coverage for, but not limited to, bodily injury and property damage, premises /operations, products/completed operations, independent consultants as applicable. (2) Business Motor Vehicle liability insurance (standard ISO version) in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. Should the Contractor not own any automobiles, the business auto liability requirement will be amended to allow the Contractor to agree to maintain only Hired and Non- Owned Auto Liability. This amended coverage requirement may be satisfied by way of endorsement to the Commercial General Liability or separate Business Auto Policy. (3) professional liability coverage to cover lawful claims arising in connection with the Project in the combined single limit amount of at least $1,000,000.00 as applicable. (c) The stated limits of insurance required by this Section are minimum only--they do not limit the Consultant's indemnity obligation, and it will be the Consultant's responsibility to determine what limits are adequate. These limits may be met by basic policy limits or any combination of basic limits and umbrella limits. The City's acceptance of certificates of insurance that do not comply with these requirements in any respect does not release the Consultant from compliance with these requirements.
