Standard Insurance Requirements for Goods and Services

The Contractor shall obtain and maintain, at its own expense and for the duration of the contract, the minimum insurance coverages set forth below. By requiring such minimum insurance, the School shall not be deemed or construed to have assessed the risk that may be applicable to the Contractor under this contract. The Contractor shall assess its own risks and if it deems appropriate and/or prudent, maintain higher limits and/or broader coverages. The Contractor is not relieved of any liability or other obligations assumed or pursuant to the Contract by reason of its failure to obtain or maintain insurance in sufficient amounts, duration, or types.

Contractor and its Subcontractors shall obtain and maintain insurance as specified in this section at all times during the term of this Master Agreement. All policies evidencing the insurance coverage required hereunder shall be issued by insurance companies satisfactory to Contractor and Mines.

Contractor

Public Entities

If Contractor is a “public entity” within the meaning of the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, CRS §24-10-101, et seq., as amended (the “GIA”), then Contractor shall maintain at all times during the term of this Master Agreement such liability insurance, by commercial policy or self-insurance, as is necessary to meet its liabilities under the GIA. Contractor shall show proof of such insurance satisfactory to Mines, if requested by Mines. Contractor shall require each contract with a Subcontractor that is a public entity, to include the insurance requirements necessary to meet such Subcontractor’s liabilities under the GIA.
