tract, written agreement, written permit or writ-
ten authorization because of payments we
make for injury or damage arising out of your
ongoing operations or "your work" done under
a written contract, written agreement, written
permit or written authorization. However, our
rights may only be waived prior to the "occur-
rence" giving rise to the injury or damage for

5. Other Insurance
If other valid and collectible
insurance is available to the
insured for a loss we cover
under this Coverage Part,
our obligations are limited as
follows:
a. Primary Insurance
This insurance is prima-
ry except when c.below
applies. If this insurance
is primary, our obliga-
tions are not affected
unless any of the other
insurance is also prima-
ry. Then, we will share
with all that other insur-
ance by the method de-
scribed in b.below.
b. Method of Sharing
If all of the other insur-
ance permits contribu-
tion by equal shares,
we will follow this meth-
od also. Under this ap-
proach each insurer
contributes equal
amounts until it has
paid its applicable limit
of insurance or none of
the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other in-
surance does not permit
contribution by equal
shares, we will contrib-
ute by limits. Under this
method, each insurer's
share is based on the
ratio of its applicable
limit of insurance to the
total applicable limits of
insurance of all insur-
ers.
c. Excess Insurance
This insurance is ex-
cess over any of the
other insurance, wheth-
er primary, excess, con-

5.Other Insurance
If other valid and collectible insurance is avail-
able to the insured for a loss we cover under
COVERAGE A. BODILY INJURY AND
PROPERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY or COV-
ERAGE B. PERSONAL AND ADVERTISING
INJURY LIABILITY of this Coverage Part, our
obligations are limited as follows:
a.Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary except when b.
below applies. If this insurance is primary,
our obligations are not affected unless
any of the other insurance is also primary.
Then, we will share with all that other in-
surance by the method described in c.
below.
b.Excess Insurance
This insurance is excess over:
(1)Any of the other insurance, whether
primary, excess, contingent or on
any other basis:

age,Builder's Risk, Installation

tenant for "property damage" to
premises rented to you or tem-
porarily occupied by you with
permission of the owner; or

tenance or use of aircraft,
"autos" or watercraft to the ex-
tent not subject to SECTION I -
COVERAGES, COVERAGE A.
BODILY INJURY AND PROP-
ERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY, 2.
Exclusions, g. Aircraft, Auto
or Watercraft.
(2)Any other primary insurance avail-
able to the insured covering liability
for damages arising out of the prem-
ises or operations, or the products
and completed operations, for which
Includes copyrighted material of Insurance
GA 101 TX 09 10 Services Office, Inc., with its permission.Page 15 of 22
the insured has been added as an
additional insured by attachment of
an endorsement.
(3)Any other insurance:
(a)Whether primary, excess, con-
tingent or on any other basis,
except when such insurance is
written specifically to be excess
over this insurance; and
(b)That is a consolidated (wrap-up)
insurance program which has
been provided by the prime con-
tractor/project manager or owner
of the consolidated project in
which you are involved.
When this insurance is excess, we will
have no duty under COVERAGE A.
BODILY INJURY AND PROPERTY
DAMAGE LIABILITY or COVERAGE B.
PERSONAL AND ADVERTISING IN-
JURY LIABILITY to defend the insured
against any "suit" if any other insurer has
a duty to defend the insured against that
"suit".If no other insurer defends, we will
undertake to do so,but we will be entitled
to the insured's rights against all those
other insurers.
When this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of
the amount of the loss, if any, that ex-
ceeds the sum of:
(1)The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in
the absence of this insurance; and
(2)The total of all deductible and self-
insured amounts under all that other
insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any,
with any other insurance that is not de-
scribed in this Excess Insurance provision
and was not bought specifically to apply
in excess of the Limits of Insurance
shown in the Declarations of this Cover-
age Part.
c. Method of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits con-
tribution by equal shares, we will follow
this method also.Under this approach
each insurer contributes equal amounts
until it has paid its applicable limit of
insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other insurance does not
permit contribution by equal shares, we
will contribute by limits. Under this
method, each insurer's share is based on
the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance
to the total applicable limits of insurance
of all insurers.
6.Premium Audit
a.We will compute all premiums for this
Coverage Part in accordance with our
rules and rates.
b.Premium shown in this Coverage Part as
advance premium is a deposit premium
only. At the close of each audit period we
will compute the earned premium for that
period and send notice to the first Named
Insured. The due date for audit and retro-
spective premiums is the date shown as
the due date on the bill. If:
(1)The earned premium is less than the
deposit premium,we will return the
excess to the first Named Insured; or
(2)The earned premium is greater than
the deposit premium, the difference
will be due and payable to us by the
first Named Insured upon notice from
us.
c.The first Named Insured must keep re-
cords of the information we need for pre-
mium computation,and send us copies at
such times as we may request.
7.Representations
By accepting this Coverage Part, you agree:
a.The statements in the Declarations are
accurate and complete;
b.Those statements are based upon repre-
sentations you made to us; and
c.We have issued this Coverage Part in re-
liance upon your representations.
8.Separation of Insureds
Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance,
and any rights or duties specifically assigned
in this Coverage Part to the first Named In-
sured, this insurance applies:
a.As if each Named Insured were the only
Named Insured; and
b.Separately to each insured against whom
claim is made or "suit" is brought.
9.Transfer of Rights of Recovery Against
Others to Us
If the insured has rights to recover all or part
of any payment we have made under this
Coverage Part, those rights are transferred to
us. The insured must do nothing after loss to
impair them. At our request, the insured will
bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and
help us enforce them.

are in excess of the applicable limit of insur-

ments of this Coverage Part for which there is
currently no separate premium charge, and

Coverage Part, the change will automatically
apply to this Coverage Part as of the latter of:
a.The date we implemented the change in
your state; or
b.The date this Coverage Part became ef-
fective; and
will be considered as included until the end of
the current policy period. We will make no ad-
ditional premium charge for this additional
coverage during the interim.
5. Other Insurance
If other valid and collectible insurance is
available to the insured for a loss we cover
under COVERAGE A. BODILY INJURY AND
PROPERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY or COV-
ERAGE B. PERSONAL AND ADVERTISING
INJURY LIABILITY of this Coverage Part, our
obligations are limited as follows:
a. Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary except when b.
below applies. If this insurance is primary,
our obligations are not affected unless
any of the other insurance is also pri-
mary. Then, we will share with all that
other insurance by the method described
in c. below.
b. Excess Insurance
This insurance is excess over:
(1)Any of the other insurance, whether
primary, excess, contingent or on
any other basis:
(a)That is Fire, Extended Cover-
age, Builder's Risk, Installation
Risk or similar insurance for
"your work";
(b)That is Fire or Explosion insur-
ance for premises rented to you
or temporarily occupied by you
with permission of the owner;
(c)That is insurance purchased by
you to cover your liability as a
tenant for "property damage" to
premises rented to you or tem-
porarily occupied by you with
permission of the owner; or
(d)If the loss arises out of the
maintenance or use of aircraft,
Includes copyrighted material of Insurance
GA 101 TX 09 10 Services Office, Inc., with its permission.Page 15 of 22
"autos" or watercraft to the ex-
tent not subject to SECTION I -
COVERAGES, COVERAGE A.
BODILY INJURY AND PROP-
ERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY, 2.
Exclusions, g. Aircraft, Auto or
Watercraft.
(2)Any other primary insurance avail-
able to the insured covering liability
for damages arising out of the
premises or operations, or the prod-
ucts and completed operations, for
which the insured has been added
as an additional insured by attach-
ment of an endorsement.
(3)Any other insurance:
(a)Whether primary, excess, con-
tingent or on any other basis,
except when such insurance is
written specifically to be excess
over this insurance; and
(b)That is a consolidated (wrap-up)
insurance program which has
been provided by the prime
contractor/project manager or
owner of the consolidated proj-
ect in which you are involved.
When this insurance is excess, we will
have no duty under COVERAGE A.
BODILY INJURY AND PROPERTY
DAMAGE LIABILITY or COVERAGE B.
PERSONAL AND ADVERTISING IN-
JURY LIABILITY to defend the insured
against any "suit" if any other insurer has
a duty to defend the insured against that
"suit". If no other insurer defends, we will
undertake to do so, but we will be entitled
to the insured's rights against all those
other insurers.
When this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of
the amount of the loss, if any, that ex-
ceeds the sum of:
(1)The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in
the absence of this insurance; and
(2)The total of all deductible and self-
insured amounts under all that other
insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any,
with any other insurance that is not de-
scribed in this Excess Insurance provi-
sion and was not bought specifically to
apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance
shown in the Declarations of this Cover-
age Part.
c. Method of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits con-
tribution by equal shares, we will follow
this method also. Under this approach
each insurer contributes equal amounts
until it has paid its applicable limit of in-
surance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other insurance does not
permit contribution by equal shares, we
will contribute by limits. Under this
method, each insurer's share is based on
the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance
to the total applicable limits of insurance
of all insurers.
6. Premium Audit
a.We will compute all premiums for this
Coverage Part in accordance with our
rules and rates.
b.Premium shown in this Coverage Part as
advance premium is a deposit premium
only. At the close of each audit period we
will compute the earned premium for that
period and send notice to the first Named
Insured. The due date for audit and retro-
spective premiums is the date shown as
the due date on the bill. If:
(1)The earned premium is less than the
deposit premium, we will return the
excess to the first Named Insured; or
(2)The earned premium is greater than
the deposit premium, the difference
will be due and payable to us by the
first Named Insured upon notice from
us.
c.The first Named Insured must keep rec-
ords of the information we need for pre-
mium computation, and send us copies at
such times as we may request.
7. Representations
By accepting this Coverage Part, you agree:
a.The statements in the Declarations are
accurate and complete;
b.Those statements are based upon repre-
sentations you made to us; and
c.We have issued this Coverage Part in re-
liance upon your representations.
8. Separation of Insureds
Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance,
and any rights or duties specifically assigned
in this Coverage Part to the first Named In-
sured, this insurance applies:

a.As if each Named Insured were the only
Named Insured; and
b.Separately to each insured against whom
claim is made or "suit" is brought.
9. Transfer of Rights of Recovery Against
Others to Us
If the insured has rights to recover all or part
of any payment we have made under this
Coverage Part, those rights are transferred to
us. The insured must do nothing after loss to
impair them. At our request, the insured will
bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and
help us enforce them.
10. Two or More Coverage Forms or Policies
Issued by Us
If this Coverage Part and any other Coverage
Form or Coverage Part forming a part of this
policy apply to the same "occurrence" or "per-
sonal and advertising injury" offense, the ag-
gregate maximum Limit of Insurance under all
the Coverage Forms or Coverage Parts shall
not exceed the highest applicable Limit of In-
surance under any one Coverage Form or
Coverage Part. This condition does not apply
to any Coverage Form or Coverage Part is-
sued by us specifically to apply as excess in-
surance over this Coverage Part.
11. When We Do Not Renew
If we decide not to renew this Coverage Part,
we will mail or deliver to the first Named In-
sured shown in the Declarations written notice
of the nonrenewal not less than 30 days be-
fore the expiration date.

ficient proof of notice.

This insurance is prima-
ry except when c.below
applies. If this insurance

the loss remains,

surance does not permit
contribution by equal

ratio of its applicable
limit of insurance to the

insurance of all insur-
ers.

cess over any of the
other insurance, wheth-

that change provides more coverage than this
Coverage Part, the change will automatically
apply to this Coverage Part as of the latter of:
a.The date we implemented the change in
your state; or
b.The date this Coverage Part became ef-
fective; and
will be considered as included until the end of
the current policy period. We will make no ad-

5.Other Insurance
If other valid and collectible insurance is avail-
able to the insured for a loss we cover under
COVERAGE A. BODILY INJURY AND
PROPERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY or COV-
ERAGE B. PERSONAL AND ADVERTISING
INJURY LIABILITY of this Coverage Part, our
obligations are limited as follows:
a.Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary except when b.
below applies. If this insurance is primary,
our obligations are not affected unless
any of the other insurance is also primary.
Then, we will share with all that other in-
surance by the method described in c.
below.
b.Excess Insurance
This insurance is excess over:
(1)Any of the other insurance, whether
primary, excess, contingent or on
any other basis:
(a)That is Fire, Extended Cover-
age,Builder's Risk, Installation
Risk or similar insurance for
"your work";
(b)That is Fire or Explosion insur-
ance for premises rented to you
or temporarily occupied by you
with permission of the owner;
(c)That is insurance purchased by
you to cover your liability as a
tenant for "property damage" to
premises rented to you or tem-
porarily occupied by you with
permission of the owner; or
(d)If the loss arises out of the main-
tenance or use of aircraft,
"autos" or watercraft to the ex-
tent not subject to SECTION I -
COVERAGES, COVERAGE A.
BODILY INJURY AND PROP-
ERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY, 2.
Exclusions, g. Aircraft, Auto
or Watercraft.
(2)Any other primary insurance avail-
able to the insured covering liability
for damages arising out of the prem-
ises or operations, or the products
and completed operations, for which
Includes copyrighted material of Insurance
GA 101 TX 09 10 Services Office, Inc., with its permission.Page 15 of 22
the insured has been added as an
additional insured by attachment of
an endorsement.
(3)Any other insurance:
(a)Whether primary, excess, con-
tingent or on any other basis,
except when such insurance is
written specifically to be excess
over this insurance; and
(b)That is a consolidated (wrap-up)
insurance program which has
been provided by the prime con-
tractor/project manager or owner
of the consolidated project in
which you are involved.
When this insurance is excess, we will
have no duty under COVERAGE A.
BODILY INJURY AND PROPERTY
DAMAGE LIABILITY or COVERAGE B.
PERSONAL AND ADVERTISING IN-
JURY LIABILITY to defend the insured
against any "suit" if any other insurer has
a duty to defend the insured against that
"suit".If no other insurer defends, we will
undertake to do so,but we will be entitled
to the insured's rights against all those
other insurers.
When this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of
the amount of the loss, if any, that ex-
ceeds the sum of:
(1)The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in
the absence of this insurance; and
(2)The total of all deductible and self-
insured amounts under all that other
insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any,
with any other insurance that is not de-
scribed in this Excess Insurance provision
and was not bought specifically to apply
in excess of the Limits of Insurance
shown in the Declarations of this Cover-
age Part.
c. Method of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits con-
tribution by equal shares, we will follow
this method also.Under this approach
each insurer contributes equal amounts
until it has paid its applicable limit of
insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other insurance does not
permit contribution by equal shares, we
will contribute by limits. Under this
method, each insurer's share is based on
the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance
to the total applicable limits of insurance
of all insurers.
6.Premium Audit
a.We will compute all premiums for this
Coverage Part in accordance with our
rules and rates.
b.Premium shown in this Coverage Part as
advance premium is a deposit premium
only. At the close of each audit period we
will compute the earned premium for that
period and send notice to the first Named
Insured. The due date for audit and retro-
spective premiums is the date shown as
the due date on the bill. If:
(1)The earned premium is less than the
deposit premium,we will return the
excess to the first Named Insured; or
(2)The earned premium is greater than
the deposit premium, the difference
will be due and payable to us by the
first Named Insured upon notice from
us.
c.The first Named Insured must keep re-
cords of the information we need for pre-
mium computation,and send us copies at
such times as we may request.
7.Representations
By accepting this Coverage Part, you agree:
a.The statements in the Declarations are
accurate and complete;
b.Those statements are based upon repre-
sentations you made to us; and
c.We have issued this Coverage Part in re-
liance upon your representations.
8.Separation of Insureds
Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance,
and any rights or duties specifically assigned
in this Coverage Part to the first Named In-
sured, this insurance applies:
a.As if each Named Insured were the only
Named Insured; and
b.Separately to each insured against whom
claim is made or "suit" is brought.
9.Transfer of Rights of Recovery Against
Others to Us
If the insured has rights to recover all or part
of any payment we have made under this
Coverage Part, those rights are transferred to
us. The insured must do nothing after loss to
impair them. At our request, the insured will
bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and
help us enforce them.

"autos" or watercraft to the ex-
tent not subject to SECTION I -
COVERAGES, COVERAGE A.
BODILY INJURY AND PROP-
ERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY, 2.
Exclusions, g. Aircraft, Auto or
Watercraft.
(2)Any other primary insurance avail-
able to the insured covering liability
for damages arising out of the
premises or operations, or the prod-
ucts and completed operations, for
which the insured has been added
as an additional insured by attach-
ment of an endorsement.
(3)Any other insurance:
(a)Whether primary, excess, con-
tingent or on any other basis,
except when such insurance is
written specifically to be excess
over this insurance; and
(b)That is a consolidated (wrap-up)
insurance program which has
been provided by the prime
contractor/project manager or
owner of the consolidated proj-
ect in which you are involved.
When this insurance is excess, we will
have no duty under COVERAGE A.
BODILY INJURY AND PROPERTY
DAMAGE LIABILITY or COVERAGE B.
PERSONAL AND ADVERTISING IN-
JURY LIABILITY to defend the insured
against any "suit" if any other insurer has
a duty to defend the insured against that
"suit". If no other insurer defends, we will
undertake to do so, but we will be entitled
to the insured's rights against all those
other insurers.
When this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of
the amount of the loss, if any, that ex-
ceeds the sum of:
(1)The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in
the absence of this insurance; and
(2)The total of all deductible and self-
insured amounts under all that other
insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any,
with any other insurance that is not de-
scribed in this Excess Insurance provi-
sion and was not bought specifically to
apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance
shown in the Declarations of this Cover-
age Part.
c. Method of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits con-
tribution by equal shares, we will follow
this method also. Under this approach
each insurer contributes equal amounts
until it has paid its applicable limit of in-
surance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other insurance does not
permit contribution by equal shares, we
will contribute by limits. Under this
method, each insurer's share is based on
the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance
to the total applicable limits of insurance
of all insurers.
6. Premium Audit
a.We will compute all premiums for this
Coverage Part in accordance with our
rules and rates.
b.Premium shown in this Coverage Part as
advance premium is a deposit premium
only. At the close of each audit period we
will compute the earned premium for that
period and send notice to the first Named
Insured. The due date for audit and retro-
spective premiums is the date shown as
the due date on the bill. If:
(1)The earned premium is less than the
deposit premium, we will return the
excess to the first Named Insured; or
(2)The earned premium is greater than
the deposit premium, the difference
will be due and payable to us by the
first Named Insured upon notice from
us.
c.The first Named Insured must keep rec-
ords of the information we need for pre-
mium computation, and send us copies at
such times as we may request.
7. Representations
By accepting this Coverage Part, you agree:
a.The statements in the Declarations are
accurate and complete;
b.Those statements are based upon repre-
sentations you made to us; and
c.We have issued this Coverage Part in re-
liance upon your representations.
8. Separation of Insureds

and any rights or duties specifically assigned
in this Coverage Part to the first Named In-
sured, this insurance applies:

a.As if each Named Insured were the only
Named Insured; and
b.Separately to each insured against whom
claim is made or "suit" is brought.
9. Transfer of Rights of Recovery Against
Others to Us
If the insured has rights to recover all or part
of any payment we have made under this
Coverage Part, those rights are transferred to
us. The insured must do nothing after loss to
impair them. At our request, the insured will
bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and
help us enforce them.
10. Two or More Coverage Forms or Policies
Issued by Us
If this Coverage Part and any other Coverage
Form or Coverage Part forming a part of this
policy apply to the same "occurrence" or "per-
sonal and advertising injury" offense, the ag-
gregate maximum Limit of Insurance under all
the Coverage Forms or Coverage Parts shall
not exceed the highest applicable Limit of In-
surance under any one Coverage Form or
Coverage Part. This condition does not apply
to any Coverage Form or Coverage Part is-
sued by us specifically to apply as excess in-
surance over this Coverage Part.
11. When We Do Not Renew
If we decide not to renew this Coverage Part,
we will mail or deliver to the first Named In-
sured shown in the Declarations written notice
of the nonrenewal not less than 30 days be-
fore the expiration date.

railroad companies are involved and operated on their own separate rights-of-way, the Contractor
may be required to provide separate insurance policies in the name of each railroad company.
3. If, in addition to a grade separation or an at-grade crossing, other work or activity is proposed on a
railroad company’s right-of-way at a location entirely separate from the grade separation or at-
grade crossing, insurance coverage for this work must be included in the policy covering the grade
separation.
4. If no grade separation is involved but other work is proposed on a railroad company’s right-of-
way, all such other work may be covered in a single policy for that railroad, even though the work
may be at two or more separate locations.
No work or activities on a railroad company’s property to be performed by the Contractor shall be
commenced until the Contractor has furnished the City with an original policy or policies of the insurance
for each railroad company named, as required above. All such insurance must be approved by the City and
each affected Railroad Company prior to the Contractor’s beginning work.
The insurance specified above must be carried until all Work to be performed on the railroad right-of-way
has been completed and the grade crossing, if any, is no longer used by the Contractor. In addition,
insurance must be carried during all maintenance and/or repair work performed in the railroad right-of-way.
