B. All policies shall expressly require 30 days written notice to Okaloosa County at the
address set out above, or the cancellations of material alterations of such policies, and
the Certificates of Insurance, shall so provide.
C. All certificates shall be subject to Okaloosa County’s approval of adequacy of
protection and the satisfactory character of the Insurer. County reserves the right to
approve or reject all deductible/SIR above $10,000.
D. The Certificates of Insurance shall disclose any and all deductibles or self-insured
retentions (SIRs). County requests that all deductibles or SIRs be no greater than $10,000.
However, CONTRACTORS having insurance with higher deductibles may submit a bid
without penalty reflecting the pricing for their deductible provided that CONTRACTOR
also submits a brief company financial statement.
E. All deductibles or SIRs, whether approved by Okaloosa County or not, shall be the
CONTRACTOR’s full responsibility. In particular, the CONTRACTOR shall afford full
coverage as specified herein to entities listed as Additional Insured.
F. In no way will the entities listed as Additional Insured be responsible for, pay for, be
damaged by, or limited to coverage required by this schedule due to the existence of a
deductible or SIR. Specific written approval from Okaloosa County will only be provided
upon demonstration that the CONTRACTOR has the financial capability and funds
necessary to cover the responsibilities incurred as a result of the deductible or SIR.
G. In the event of failure of the CONTRACTOR to furnish and maintain said insurance and to
furnish satisfactory evidence thereof, Okaloosa County shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to take out and maintain insurance on the project. All costs for the coverage
will be paid by CONTRACTOR upon presentation of a bill.
General Terms
Any type of insurance or increase of limits of liability not described above which the
CONTRACTOR required for its own protection or on account of statute shall be its own
responsibility and at its own expense.
The carrying of the insurance described shall in no way be interpreted as relieving the
CONTRACTOR of any responsibility under this contract.
Should the CONTRACTOR engage a subcontractor or sub-subcontractor, the same
conditions will apply under this agreement to each subcontractor and sub-
subcontractor.
The CONTRACTOR hereby waives all rights of subrogation against Okaloosa County and
its consultants and other indemnities of the CONTRACTOR under all the foregoing policies
of insurance.
Umbrella Insurance
18
The CONTRACTOR shall have the right to meet the liability insurance requirements with
