§ 13-207. INSURANCE.

(a)

No person shall be entitled to a permit under this article unless and until he shall have filed and maintained on file with the City of Fresno a certification that such person carries public liability and property damage insurance issued by an insurance carrier licensed to do business in the State of California, insuring the applicant, the city, its officers, employees and agents as named insureds against loss by reason of injuries to, or death of, persons, or damages to property caused by the applicant, its agents or employees in performing any work under such permit, in the following amounts:

$50,000 for death of, or injury to, any one person in any one accident;

$100,000 for death of, or injuries to, more than one person in any one accident;

$25,000 for damages to property.

Said insurance is to provide for cross-liability between insureds and provide that the applicant's insurance is primary to any owned by the city.

(b)

Public utilities and other public agencies shall not be required to file the certification set forth in subsection (a) of this section, provided the utility or agency agrees in writing to indemnify and defend the city, its agents and employees from liability arising from the work, and pay all of the city's court costs and attorney's fees incurred as a result of claims being made for damages therefor, that there shall be filed and maintained with the City, certification showing the maintenance of a satisfactory plan of self-insurance, or sufficient evidence is to be presented that the public utility or other public agency is of sufficient financial responsibility to provide the necessary indemnification.
