Owner shall maintain in force and effect, at its sole cost and in effect not later than the commencement of vertical construction, Project Property Insurance on a “builder’s risk” form for the building and all equipment installed per the terms of this Contract with limits and deductibles acceptable to Owner. Such coverage shall include the interest of the Contractor and Subcontractors of every tier. Property insurance shall be on an “all-risk” or equivalent policy form and shall include, without limitation, insurance against the perils of fire (with extended coverage) and physical loss or damage for the project’s full replacement costs, without duplication of coverage, with appropriate Owner approved sublimits for: theft, vandalism, malicious mischief, collapse, earthquake, flood, windstorm, wind driven rain, falsework, testing and startup, terrorism, temporary buildings and debris removal including demolition occasioned by enforcement of any applicable legal requirements, and shall cover reasonable compensation for Architect’s and Contractor’s services and expenses required as a result of such insured loss.
Contractor may not promise insured status, including “additional insured” status or other coverage, on the Owner’s policies to any third party without Owner’s express written permission.
If applicable, to the extent any Subcontractors are enrolled in the OCIP upon completion of all requirements and processes stipulated in the OCIP Manual, such parties may satisfy the Commercial General Liability and Umbrella and/or Excess Liability Insurance requirements in this Exhibit through participation in the aforementioned OCIP with respect to operations at the Project site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Subcontractors of every tier must at all times maintain separate Commercial General Liability and Umbrella and/or Excess Liability Insurance coverage satisfying the minimum limits and requirements herein with respect to offsite operations. Contractor and its Subcontractors shall not include any insurance cost (including profit and overhead), whether required by this Exhibit or otherwise carried by such party, in the GMP nor in the Cost of the Work, which would provide insurance coverage for the same risks provided by the OCIP, whether such insurance is on a primary basis, excess and/or contingent basis, self-insurance, or any other basis. Any subsequent Change Orders must also exclude such insurance costs. The intent of the foregoing two sentences is to ensure that the Owner receives the cost benefit of providing insurance on behalf of Contractor and any enrolled Subcontractors in the form of a discounted GMP. Owner shall have the right to replace or supplement the provisions of this Exhibit with appropriate agreements relating to the Project Insurance, and in such case the Contractor will reasonably cooperate with such replacement.
