11.1 All insurance shall include the interest of all entities names in and its respective agents,
consultants, servants and employees of each and all other interests as may be reasonably required
by the COUNTY as Additional Insured. The coverage afforded the Additional Insureds under
this policy shall be primary insurance. If the Additional Insureds have other insurance that is
5
applicable to the loss, such other insurance shall be on an excess or contingent basis. The
amount of the company’s liability under this policy shall not be reduced by the existence of such
other insurance.
11.2 Certificates of insurance, in duplicate, evidencing all required coverage must be
submitted to and approved by the COUNTY prior to the commencement of any of the work.
The certificate holder(s) shall be as follows:

11.3 All policies shall expressly require thirty (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. The certificate, if on a Standard Accord, shall not
include language such as "if any" or but failure to mail such notice shall impose on obligation or
liability of any kind upon the COUNTY, its agents or representatives.
11.4 All certificates shall be subject to the COUNTY’s approval of adequacy of protection and
the satisfactory character of the Insurer.
11.5 The Certificates of Insurance shall disclose any and all deductibles or self-insured
retentions (SIRs). Deductibles or SIRs in excess of $10,000 will not be accepted unless
specifically approved in writing by the COUNTY. All deductibles or SIRs, whether approved by
the COUNTY or not, shall be the full responsibility of the CONTRACTOR. In particular, the
CONTRACTOR shall afford full coverage as specified herein to entities listed as Additional
Insureds. In no way will the entities listed as Additional Insureds 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 the 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.
11.6 In the event of failure of the CONTRACTOR to furnish and maintain said insurance and
to furnish satisfactory evidence thereof, the COUNTY shall have the right (but not the

paid by CONTRACTOR upon presentation of a bill.
11.7 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 Emergency 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.
