Unless otherwise provided in an unexpired franchise agreement, each provider shall, as a condition of the grant, secure and maintain liability insurance policies in amounts and types satisfactory to the city which insure both the provider and the city and its elected and appointed officers, officials, agents and employees as additional insured. The liability insurance policies required by this section shall be maintained by the provider throughout the term of the franchise agreement, and any such other period of time during which the provider is operating or has facilities within the public rights-of-way. Each communications provider shall maintain continuous uninterrupted coverage and shall provide such policies upon city’s request. As an alternative to the insurance requirements contained herein, a provider may provide evidence of self-insurance, subject to acceptance by the city.
