As I discussed this morning with the Commissioner (who had called Michael
Cardozo yesterday), we agree we should not press for indemnification by the
owner.
I spoke with Bud Larson of 0MB a little while ago. We agreed that it is
advisable to modify the PW, with appropriate discussions with FEMA, to
specify that we are attempting to procure insurance for the City, specifying
an amount that we believe is realistic. He would like to get the PW
finalized as soon as possible.
Finally, we would like to see the license that EPA is drafting for the
interior cleaning. We will suggest language, obligating the owner/tenant to
submit claims for any insurance proceeds that are available for the
cost/value of debris removal and cleaning services provided by the City, and
assigning such proceeds to FEMA.
Thanks for your assistance on this, Mark.

We get indemnification via our contract, with respect to the contractor's
acts and ommissions (and we obviously get the benefit of contractor
insurance as well). I don't believe the license obligates the owner to
indemnify, nor do I think it will help "sell" the program to insist on same
(I rather doubt that tenants will agree to indemify; if anything, they'd be
looking for us to indemnify them - which we will not do). Do we really feel
that tenant negligence is a major risk here, as opposed to contractor
screw-ups ?

Forgot one aspect of this. If the City must be "in the loop" on this
project, we should make sure that the right of entry signed by the
