expenses incurred by the City arising in favor of any party, including the amounts of any damages or awards resulting from claims demands and causes of action for personal injuries, death or damages to property. This obligation by Consultant will not be limited by reason of the specification of any particular insurance coverage in this Agreement. 8.2 The Consultant will procure and maintain at Consultant's expense insurance with insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Texas, covering all operations under this Agreement, whether performed by Consultant or Consultant's agents, subcontractor or employees. Before commencing the work the Consultant will furnish to the City a certificate or certificates in form satisfactory to the City, showing that Consultant has complied with this paragraph. All certificates will provide that the policy will not be changed or canceled until at least 30 days written notice will have been given to the City, and will name the City as an additional insured on all coverages except workers' compensation and professional liability. The kinds and amounts of insurance required are as follows: Workers' Compensation Insurance: In accordance with the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act of the State of Texas. Liability Insurance: (1) Commercial general liability insurance with a combined single limit of $500,000 for each occurrence and $500,000 in the aggregate, (2) Motor Vehicle liability insurance in an amount not less than $250,000 for injuries to anyone person, $500,000 on account of anyone accident and in an amount of not less than $250,000 for property damage and (3) professional liability coverage to cover lawful claims arising in connection with this Project in the combined single limit amount of at least $500,000. The stated limits of insurance required by this Paragraph 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 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.
