(a) No permit for installment or erection of a refuse compactor or grease container on the public way shall be issued unless the applicant provides proof to the commissioner that the applicant has commercial general liability insurance for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage, naming the City of Chicago as additional insured on a primary, noncontributory basis for any liability arising directly or indirectly from the permittee's operations and for any loss, claim, casualty or liability arising from the erection, maintenance or use of the refuse compactor. The insurance shall be in an amount determined by the city comptroller, office of risk management, to be sufficient to cover all such liabilities, and shall not be subject to cancellation except upon 30 days' advance written notice to the commissioner. The insurance shall commence from the erection of the refuse compactor and shall remain in effect as long as the refuse compactor or grease container remains on the public way.
(b) As an additional condition, apart from and separate from any insurance requirement under this section, to the issuance of the permit, the owner of the building(s) or structure(s) served by a refuse compactor or grease container located on the public way shall indemnify, defend and hold the City of Chicago, its agents, officers and employees harmless from all losses, damages, injuries, claims, demands and expenses arising out of the erection, maintenance and use of the refuse compactor or grease container.
