INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

Without limiting any liability of or any other obligation of Contractor, unless more specific insurance provisions are attached to the PO or any supplemental contract or a waiver from such requirements is agreed to in writing by TTUS Procurement Services, Contractor will purchase and maintain (and cause its subcontractors to purchase and maintain), until all of their obligations have been discharged or satisfied, including any warranty periods under the Contract, insurance as described below:

Consistent with its status as an independent contractor, Contractor will carry and cause its Subcontractors to carry at least the following insurance, with companies authorized to do business in Texas or eligible surplus lines insurers operating in accordance with the Texas Insurance Code. TTUS in no way warrants that these limits are sufficient to protect Contractor from liabilities that might arise out of the performance of the scope of work

Contractor will assess its own risks and, if it deems appropriate or prudent, maintain higher limits or broader coverages. Contractor is not relieved of any liability or other obligations assumed by reason of its failure to obtain or maintain insurance in sufficient amounts, duration, or types. All policies will be written on a primary basis, non-contributory with any other insurance coverage or self-funded plans which TTUS maintains.

In the event Contractor receives notice of modification or cancellation of any of the policies required under any Contract, then prior to the effective date of modification or cancellation of the policy, the Contractor will obtain a policy of insurance affording the required coverage from an insurance carrier acceptable to TTUS. If Contractor fails to obtain such an insurance policy, TTUS may immediately terminate the Contract or PO after providing Contractor with written notice of such termination.
