Nothing contained in these insurance requirements is to be construed as limiting the extent of Contractor’s responsibility for payment of damages resulting from its operations under this contract, including the Contractor’s obligation to pay liquidated damages, nor shall it affect the Contractor’s separate and independent duty to defend, indemnify and hold the State and its officers and employees, harmless pursuant to other provisions of the contract documents. The State’s exercise of an option to occupy and use portions of the work does not relieve the Contractor of its obligation to maintain the required insurance until the date of final acceptance.
