(A) It shall be mandatory that when the city executes a railroad permit, highway permit, or other hold-harmless document and subsequently employs or contracts for independent outside services, the city must require that the outside contractor provide liability insurance to the city which equals or exceeds the level of coverage afforded to it by the gas utilities alliance of which the city is a member.
(B) The city shall not sell or otherwise convey any material, equipment, or supplies nor trade or exchange with any plumber, contractor, or private individual. Such exchanges shall be prohibited excepting between members of the alliance or between members of the alliance and other major established natural gas distribution utilities. Where exchanges are vitally necessary and in the best interests of the city, a release or hold-harmless form, approved by the gas utilities alliance, must be executed by the recipient with written documented authority for signing.
