Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of

provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of VENDOR.
VENDOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for
ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section.

engaged in the project will be submitted to AGENCY for review.

substantial additional cost to the VENDOR, the AGENCY and VENDOR may renegotiate VENDOR's
compensation.

AGENCY. AGENCY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated,
lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these
specifications unless approved by AGENCY.

suits instituted that arise out of or result from VENDOR's performance under this AGREEMENT,
and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
