of this Agreement the following insurance coverages with insurance companies licensed
to do business in the State of Michigan, but only if such insurance coverage is
commercially available. It is understood and agreed, that all costs, including the premium,
self-insured retention or deductible, shall be included as a System Cost.
(a) Public Officials Liability or Errors and Omissions with limits of $10,000,000 per
occurrence and $15,000,000 aggregate.

from the County Services provided under this Agreement, as well as similar Services the
County provides to other municipal public corporations. As such, the City, along with
other participating municipal corporations, will share in the cost of the insurance
premium paid by the County. To this end, the County agrees to reasonably allocate the
premium paid for the insurance to the city's sanitary retention tank operated and
maintained by the County, including the City's System, and provide reasonable
5
Page 70 of 183
justification for the allocation of said cost to the City. In addition, it is understood and
agreed, that the purchase of insurance and payment of the premium (as a System Cost),
does not guarantee insurance coverage for any Claim. All policies set forth herein are
subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations set forth in the insurance policies. As

understood that an otherwise insured Claim that is in excess of any valid and collectible
insurance rights/policies, shall be and remain a System Cost.

or a Contractor, or administering this work independent of this Agreement. Major repairs
of the System performed by the County pursuant to this Agreement will be invoiced to
the City separately in addition to the quarterly service charge.
4.4 Emergency Pumping. The City will have staff on-call for emergency pumping to prevent
basement backups or other potential damage. The City will have a portable pump on
standby ready for use to perform emergency pumping. The County will coordinate with

performance of this Agreement or with any City duty or obligation under any applicable
state or federal laws and/or regulations.

County will assist the City in the operations and maintenance of the System on a non-
profit basis for the benefit of the users of the System and therefore the County is without
funds to finance, operate and maintain the System except for the Revenue derived from
the System users. Therefore, it is understood and agreed that in no event shall the County
or its general fund be charged with or liable for the cost of operating, maintaining,
repairing, replacing, or administering the System. All Costs and Overhead associated with
the Services under this Agreement will be the responsibility of the City.

OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER UNDER CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.
6.2 Liability for Claims. All Claims arising from the performance of this Agreement by either
Party, and not otherwise covered by insurance, are a System Cost. Accordingly, in the
event a Party is required to defend itself or its respective employees or City/County
Agents, against a Claim, that Party may obtain its own legal representation and the costs
associated with such representation shall be a System Cost to be reimbursed from the
System Enterprise Fund. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither Party

not intended to, impair, divest, delegate or contravene any constitutional, statutory,
and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty or immunity of the Parties.
