(A) Plumbers doing work permitted by the District shall obtain and maintain workers' compensation insurance as required by California law, and general and automobile liability insurance, no less than $1,000,000. Neither this section, nor any other section of this Code, nor any predecessor section is or was intended to create or impose any responsibility upon CAWD to ensure that the contractor obtains and maintains this insurance, such responsibility being solely that of the contractor. CAWD may, however, investigate a contractor’s insurance coverage at any time. Failure of a contractor to obtain and maintain required insurance may cause the denial, suspension and/or revocation of permits, at the sole discretion of CAWD.
(B) The plumber shall carry general liability and property damage insurance with limits approved by the District Counsel but in no case less than $1,000,000, naming as additional assured the Carmel Area Wastewater District, its officers, employees, and agents; and in addition, a warranty holding harmless the District, its officers, employees and agents from any liability occurring or alleged to be caused by the construction operations.
(C) Certificates issued by the insurance carrier shall be submitted to the District with the plumber’s application for a permit, unless such certificate has been filed previously with the District. The required insurance certificates shall show that the insurance policies are for the proper amounts, are in force for the duration of the work, and bear an endorsement or statement waiving right of cancellation or reduction in coverage without ten days written notice to be delivered by registered mail to the District.
