Every contract executed by the city shall contain the following to be complied with by the person or entity entering into the contract with the city:

(1) Compliance with laws. The contracting party shall comply with applicable federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations and standards pertaining to safety, whichever is more restrictive.

(2) Performance and payment bonds. A bond for the proper performance of any contract as authorized by C.R.S. § 24-105-202, as amended, may be required. The form and legal sufficiency of a bond shall be subject to the approval of the city attorney and risk manager. For contracts which do not exceed $50,000, the purchasing manager may waive the requirement of a performance or payment bond.

(4) Insurance. The contracting party shall provide evidence of worker's compensation coverage, comprehensive general liability insurance and professional errors and omissions insurance, as described in this section. The required insurance will be considered primary and, for loss covered by such insurance, such insurance shall first be exhausted before any other insurance or funds are applied to pay the loss.
