The provisions of this chapter shall apply to the United States, state, counties, municipal corporations, school districts and to all other governmental bodies, agencies or instrumentalities; provided, however, that if any such governmental agency files with the city’s Director of Public Works an agreement in writing to pay all damages, costs or expenses which may be suffered or incurred by this city as a result of the movement of any overload by such agency, then such agency need not pay any permit fee or post any deposit or policy of liability insurance required by this chapter. This exemption shall not apply to any private contractor engaged by any governmental agency, nor to any equipment or vehicle not operated by any employee of the governmental agency moving the overload under the supervision and control of an officer thereof.
