Insurance and Indemnification Guidelines for State ofArizona ContractsIntroductionDisclaimer: Please note these insurance modules are not intended to be used with Construction Contracts.What is the Purpose of these Indemnification and Insurance Modules?The modules have been developed by the State of Arizona, Department of Administration, RiskManagement Division (State Risk) to assist State of Arizona staff in incorporating the State’sinsurance and indemnification requirements into written agreements (contracts), e.g. invitation forbids (IFBs), leases, and requests for proposals (RFPs). Our goal is to provide easy-to-useguidelines that can be cut and pasted into a contract document.An Indemnification Clause is required in all State contracts so that the responsibility for claimsthat may arise out of the course and scope of the contract shall be transferred to the Contractor.The insurance requirements ensure that the Contractor has the financial resources to pay claims.Transferring Risk through ContractsThe State of Arizona transfers the risk of accidental loss through contracts. This transfer of risk isachieved by requiring the other party to the State of Arizona contract, e.g. the "contractor,”"vendor,” “permittee,” or "lessee," to protect themselves and the State of Arizona and itsdepartments, agencies, boards, commissions, universities, officers, officials, agents, andemployees against claims or judgments arising from their products, services, operations, activitiesor use of facilities. The best way to ensure that the transfer actually takes place, i.e. loss will bepaid by someone other than State Risk, is to require an Indemnification Clause and insurance.Bid specifications, contracts, and permit requirements should contain a clear description of therequired insurance. In addition, they should contain a hold harmless and indemnification clausethat works in conjunction with the insurance requirements. Such a hold harmless andindemnification clause is an agreement by which one contracting party assumes the liability ofanother and agrees to defend them in the event of a claim. It is the legal provision that transfersrisk, while insurance provides the financial guarantee.Insurance policies that financially support the hold harmless and indemnification clause may notautomatically become effective upon execution of the contract. Coverage may apply only whenthe Contractor's insurance company issues the required insurance policies or endorses existingpolicies to match the insurance requirements of the contract.As proof of coverage, most insurance agents and brokers will provide a document called acertificate of insurance. While a certificate is evidence that the Contractor has an insurance policy,it does not guarantee that the required insurance provisions are in place. Even with thisshortcoming, the certificate of insurance, if completed correctly, is the only practical means ofconfirming that coverage exists. In some situations, it may be necessary to obtain and review theactual policy and specific endorsements.The modules provide guidance on how to establish appropriate indemnification and insurancerequirements to meet the scope of work in your contract.Updated: May 11, 2016Page 3 of 183

Insurance and Indemnification Guidelines for State ofArizona ContractsGuide to Automobile Liability Exemption (Commuting)Some contracts will not require the contractors to use their automobile at all. Others may requirevehicle use within a limited scope, i.e. a commute. “Commute” means a trip between theContractor’s home or principal place of business and one State agency location or destination. Inthese cases, where all contractors under an agreement travel only within a “commute,” or do notdrive at all, the procurement officer may decide to delete the Automobile Liability insuranceRequirements from the module they have chosen.For example, Service Contracts, where the intended automobile use is limited to a commute, havebeen formatted to this situation. Other modules may be re-formatted by the Procurement Officerto implement this variable, provided the Contractor’s automobile use is limited, based on theabove criteria.It is crucial that the Procurement Officer know the likelihood of such limited use before decidingto eliminate the Automobile Liability requirement. It is equally important that the ProcurementOfficer know the automobile use under the contract before contacting State Risk for adviceregarding the Automobile Liability requirement.Statewide ContractsPlease be aware that the indemnity and insurance provisions may apply to certain cooperativeparties when a statewide contract is used. State Risk recommends that the Contract Administratoridentify those cooperative parties in a section of the contract and state clearly, by reference to theindemnity and insurance provisions, the applicability of such provisions to those parties.Contact State RiskThe modules do not address all possible insurance questions that can arise, but are intended toaddress the most common situations. If there are any questions about the information containedin this guidance document, or need assistance in determining the appropriate insurance and/orindemnification language, please contact State Risk:Arizona Department of Administration - Risk Management Division100 North 15th Avenue, Suite 301, Phoenix, AZ 85007Phone: (602) 542-2180Updated: May 11, 2016Page 4 of 183

Insurance and Indemnification Guidelines for State ofArizona ContractsProfessional Service ContractsProfessional Service Contracts1.Standard Professional Service ContractsProfessional Liability insurance is issued for a “professional” and covers the rendering of,or failure to render, services of a professional nature. Professional Liability insurance isusually written on a claims-made basis. Therefore, the Contractor needs to maintaincoverage during the contract period and for a specified period (typically two years) afterthe project has been completed.The types of losses that can occur as a result of professional rendering services are oftenexcluded under general liability insurance policies. Therefore, these losses need to becovered through a separate professional liability insurance policy.Professional liability insurance is needed when one of the following applies: If the professional is licensed, registered, or certified and expected to follow theusual and customary standards of their profession. Professions in this categoryinclude, but are not limited to, accountants, attorneys, engineers/architects,construction management, technical consultant, surveyor (AF), and appraisers. If the information provided by the professional is to be used by the State of Arizonain a decision-making process that may have an impact to life, health, safety, and/ora significant financial impact to the State, its agencies, and the public.If you have questions regarding the applicability of Professional Liability insurance, pleasecontact your assigned State Risk Insurance Analyst.1.1Indemnification ClauseTo the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and holdharmless the State of Arizona, and its departments, agencies, boards,commissions, universities, officers, officials, agents, and employees (hereinafterreferred to as “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities,damages, losses, or expenses (including court costs, attorneys’ fees, and costs ofclaim processing, investigation and litigation) (hereinafter referred to as “Claims”)for bodily injury or personal injury (including death), or loss or damage to tangibleor intangible property caused, or alleged to be caused, in whole or in part, by thenegligent or willful acts or omissions of Contractor or any of its owners, officers,directors, agents, employees or subcontractors.
