Vendor shall be responsible for any losses and costs to repair or remedy work performed under this Agreement resulting from or arising out of any
act or omission, neglect, or misconduct in the performance of his/her Work. Acceptance of the work by the City will not relieve Vendor of the

provisions of this Section 4.8 shall survive completion, expiration, or termination of this Agreement.
4.9 INSURANCE: Vendor shall, at its own expense, secure and maintain in effect throughout the duration of this contract, insurance against
claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the services and work
