INSURANCE
Review this section carefully with your insurance agent or broker prior to submitting a bid or
proposal. See Insurance Checklist (part of the Bid Forms) for specific coverage applicable to
this contract. The term "Contract" as used in this section shall mean the Agreement covering
the work that is entered into between the City of Johnson City, Tennessee and the Contractor.
1. General Insurance Requirements:
1.1 The Contractor shall not start work under this contract until the Contractor has obtained
at its own expense all of the insurance called for hereunder and such insurance has been
approved by the City; nor shall the Contractor allow any subcontractor to start work on any
subcontract until all insurance required of the subcontractor has been so obtained and
approved by the Contractor. Approval of insurance required of the Contractor will be granted
only after submission to the Director of Purchasing of original, signed Certificate(s) of
Insurance, General Insurance Appendix, and Insurance Checklist or, alternately, at the City's
request, certified copies of the required insurance policies.
1.2 No acceptance and/or approval of any insurance by the City shall be construed as
relieving or excusing the Contractor, or the surety, or its bond, from any liability or obligation
imposed upon either or both of them by the provisions of the Contract Documents.
1.3 The City of Johnson City (including its elected and appointed officials, agents, and
employees) is to be named as an additional insured under all coverage except
Worker's Compensation and Professional Liability and the Certificate of Insurance or
the certified policy, if requested, must so state. Coverage afforded under this paragraph
shall be primary as respects the City, its elected and appointed officials, agents and
employees. The following definition of the term "City" applies to all policies issued under the
contract:
"The City of Johnson City, Tennessee together with all of its various
departments, bureaus, and agencies, as well as any affiliated or subsidiary
board, committee, or authority, including but not limited to the City of Johnson
City, Dept. of Education (A.K.A "Johnson City Schools")."
1.4 The Contractor shall provide insurance as specified in the Insurance Checklist contained
in this document. In the event that Contractor obtains insurance coverage that is broader
than the minimum required by this Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed to require
the broader coverage, including but not limited to any greater limits and any excess or
umbrella coverages.

Revised 3/17/2026

1.5 The Contractor covenants to save, defend, hold harmless and indemnify the City of
Johnson City, Tennessee together with its various departments, elected or appointed officials,
employees, officers, counsel, agents, and any and all other persons or entities acting on
behalf of the same (collectively the City) from and against any and all claims of any sort based
upon any theory of liability whatsoever, for any and all harm, loss, damage, injury, cost
(including court cost and attorney fees) charges, or other liability of any nature whatsoever,
however caused, resulting from or arising out of or in any way connected with the Contractors
performance or non-performance of the terms of the contract documents or its obligations
under the contract based upon any theory of liability whatsoever, including claims brought by
third persons, and further covenants to discharge all of the aforesaid persons and entities and
forever hold them harmless from the same. The foregoing obligation to indemnify and defend
shall continue in full force and effect after the aforesaid contractor completes all of the work
required under the contract, until such time as the applicable statutes of limitation or repose
have expired.
1.6 The Contractor shall be responsible for the work performed under the Contract
Documents and every part thereof, and for all materials, tools, equipment, appliances, and
property of any description used in connection with the work. The Contractor assumes all
risks for direct and indirect damage or injury to the property or persons used or employed on
or in connection with the work contracted for, and of all damage or injury to any person or
property wherever located, resulting from any action, omission, commission, or operation
under the Contract, or in connection in any way whatsoever with the contracted work, until
final acceptance of the work by the City.
1.7 Insurance coverage required in these specifications shall be in force throughout the
Contract Term. If the Contractor fails to provide acceptable evidence of current insurance
within ten days of written notice at any time during the Contract Term, the City shall have
absolute right to terminate the Contract without any further obligation to the Contractor and
the Contractor shall be liable to the City for the entire additional cost of procuring
performance by another Contractor and the cost of performing the incomplete portion of the
Contract at time of termination. Contractor is required to provide the City with notice of
cancellation, non-renewal, or material change in coverage at least thirty (30) days prior to
cancellation, non-renewal, or material change in coverage.
1.8 Contractual and other liability insurance provided under this Contract shall not contain a
supervision, inspection or engineering services exclusion that would preclude the City from
supervising or inspecting the project as to the end result. The Contractor shall assume all
on-the-job responsibilities as to the control of persons directly employed by it and of the
subcontractors and any persons employed by the subcontractor.
1.9 Nothing contained in the specifications shall be construed as creating any contractual
relationship between any subcontractor and the City. The Contractor shall be as fully
responsible to the City for acts and omissions of the subcontractors and of persons employed
by them as it is for acts and omissions of persons directly employed by the Contractor.
1.10 Precaution shall be exercised by the Contractor at all times for the protection of persons
(including employees) and property. All existing structures, utilities, roads, services, trees
and shrubbery shall be protected against damage or interruption of service at all times by the
Contractor and its subcontractors during the term of the Contract, and the Contractor shall be
