   In all contracts requiring the employment of workmen or laborers, the contractor shall be required to insure to his employees or their beneficiaries the compensation provided for in the act of the General Assembly of the state entitled, "An Act to promote the general welfare of the people of this state by providing compensation for accidental injuries or death suffered in the course of employment within this state, and without this state where the contract of employment is made within this state, providing for the enforcement and administering thereof, and a penalty for its violation, and repealing an act entitled, An Act to promote the general welfare of the people of this state by providing compensation for accidental injuries or death suffered in the course of employment,' approved June 10, 1911, in force May 1, 1912", approved June 28, 1913, in force July 1, 1913. Said contractor shall also be required to agree to indemnify, keep and save harmless the city from all claims, judgments, awards and costs which may in anywise come against said city by reason of any accidental injuries or death suffered by any of his employees in and about the performance of his contract; provided, that when such contract is for the furnishing of materials or supplies which are not manufactured, mined or produced on the special order of the city, but are to be furnished to the city out of the regular stock-in-trade of the contractor, the insurance of the employees of such contractor may be waived in case a bond is given to the city conditioned that the contractor will pay all claims and demands which may arise or accrue against the city as a result of the accidental injury or death of any of such contractor's employees.

(Prior code § 26-8)

   Whenever any work or improvement shall require the digging up, use, or occupancy of any public way or other public place in the city, substantial covenants requiring such contractor to put up and maintain such barriers and lights during the night time as will effectually prevent the happening of any accident for which the city might be liable in consequence of such digging up, use, or occupancy of any public way or other public place, shall be inserted in the contract and also such other covenants and conditions as experience may prove necessary to save the city harmless from damages. The chief procurement officer shall also provide in such contract that the party contracting with the city shall be liable for all damages occasioned by the digging up, use, or occupancy of such public way or other public place, or which may result therefrom.
