federal, state, county, local, and municipal laws, codes, ordinances, and regulations in any
<br />manner affecting the conduct of the Work.
<br />10.Contractor's Responsibility for Work.
<br /> Until the final acceptance of the Work
<br />by the City in writing, Contractor shall have the charge and care thereof, and shall take every
<br />necessary precaution against injury or damage to any part thereof by the effects of the elements
<br />or from any other cause. Contractor, at its own expense, shall rebuild, repair, restore, and correct
<br />all injuries or damages to any portion of the Work occasioned by any causes before its
<br />completion and acceptance. In case of suspension of Work from any cause whatsoever,
<br />Contractor shall be responsible for all materials and shall properly store same, if necessary, and
<br />shall provide suitable drainage, barricades, and warning signs where necessary. Contractor shall
<br />correct or replace, at its own expense and as required by City, any material which may be
<br />destroyed, lost, damaged, or in any way made useless for the purpose and use intended prior to
<br />final acceptance of the Work, or portions thereof. Contractor shall be relieved of the
<br />responsibilities provided in this Section upon final acceptance of the Work by City, except no
<br />such relief shall apply to damages or injuries caused by or related to actions of Contractor or its
<br />subcontractors.
<br />11.Termination of Contractor's Responsibility.
<br /> The Work will be considered
<br />complete when all Work has been finished, the final inspection made, and the Work accepted by
<br />City in writing, and all claims for payment of labor, materials, or services of any kind used in
<br />connection with the Work thereof have been paid or settled by Contractor or its surety.
<br />Contractor will then be released from further obligation except as set forth in any surety bond,
<br />and except as required in this Agreement regarding the Contractor's guaranty of work.
<br />12.Indemnification.
<br /> To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Contractor agrees to
<br />indemnify and hold harmless the City, and its officers and its employees, from and against all
<br />liability, claims, and demands, on account of any injury, loss, or damage, which arise out of or
<br />are connected with the work, if such injury, loss, or damage, or any portion thereof, is caused by,
<br />or claimed to be caused by, the act, omission, or other fault of the Contractor or any
<br />subcontractor of the Contractor, or any officer, employee, or agent of the Contractor or any
<br />subcontractor, or any other person for whom Contractor is responsible. The Contractor shall
<br />investigate, handle, respond to, and provide defense for and defend against any such liability,
<br />claims, and demands, and to bear all other costs and expenses related thereto, including court
<br />costs and attorneys' fees. The Contractor's indemnification obligation shall not be construed to
<br />extend to any injury, loss, or damage which is caused by the act, omission, or other fault of the
<br />City.
<br />13.Insurance and Bonds.
<br />a. The Contractor shall not begin the Work until it has
<br />obtained all insurance required by this Section and such insurance has been approved by City.
<br />The Contractor shall not allow any subcontractor to begin any efforts on the Work until all
<br />similar insurance required of the subcontractor has been obtained and approved. For the duration
<br />of this Agreement, the Contractor must maintain the insurance coverage required in this Section.
