(a)
The property owner, by acceptance of the permit issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, agrees to be responsible for any and all claims and liabilities for damages caused by any of the construction permitted by the provisions of this chapter or caused by the property owner's failure to perform his obligations under the permit and save the city harmless therefrom. In the event any such claim or liability for damages is made against or imposed upon the city or any department, officer, or employee thereof, the property owner shall, by his acceptance of the permit, agree to defend, indemnify, and hold each of them harmless from such claim or liability. The property owner shall provide and keep in force, during the term of the permit, a policy of public liability and property damage insurance against liability for personal injury, including accidental death, as well as liability for property damages which may arise, in any way, out of the exercise of the rights granted by the permit. The amounts of such insurance shall be established by resolution.
(b)
The property owner shall maintain such insurance as is required under workers' compensation laws of the state.
(c)
The policies of insurance so provided shall contain a contractual liability endorsement covering the liability assumed by the property owner by the terms of the permit and naming the city as additional insured and shall contain a provision that such policies may not be canceled except after thirty days' notice in writing to the public works director.
(d)
A copy of the policies or certificates of insurance, evidencing all the insurance coverage required by this section, shall be filed with the city before the permit is issued.
(e)
The requirements of this section may be satisfied by the property owner or by the property owner's contractor or representative.
