Section 3. Before exercising any rights or privileges under this Ordinance, CNO, LLC, must first obtain or have their contractor(s) obtain all required permits, licenses and approvals from all appropriate departments, boards, agencies or commissions. No such department, board, agency or commission shall be required to issue any such permit, license or approval solely because this Ordinance has been enacted, it being the express intent of this Ordinance not to supersede any other provision of law governing the issuance of such permits, licenses or approvals. In addition, before exercising any rights and privileges under this Ordinance, CNO, LLC, shall enter into an agreement ("Agreement") with the appropriate City department or departments, in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor, to provide that CNO, LLC, shall, inter alia:
(a) furnish the City with either a bond with corporate surety in an amount required by the Department of Streets and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor to insure the compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Ordinance and the Agreement, and to protect and indemnify the City from and against all damages or claims for damages which may arise directly or indirectly as a result of the construction, maintenance or use of the multi-level bay windows and decks, or in lieu thereof, submit documentation in a form and content acceptable to the City that CNO, LLC, self-assumes the liabilities and obligations normally covered by Surety Bond;
(b) secure all necessary permits, licenses and approvals from all appropriate departments, agencies, boards or commissions of the City as may be required by regulation or law. No such department, board, agency or commission shall be required to issue any such permit, license or approval solely because this Ordinance has been enacted;

(d) carry public liability and property damage insurance, co-naming the City of Philadelphia as an insured party, in such amounts as shall be satisfactory to the City Solicitor, or in lieu thereof, submit documentation in form and content acceptable to the City that CNO, LLC, are self-insured and are providing the City of Philadelphia the same coverage and benefits had the insurance requirements been satisfied by an insurance carrier authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania;
(e) insure that all construction contractors for the multi-level bay windows and decks carry public liability and property damage insurance, naming the City of Philadelphia as an insured party in such amounts as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the City Solicitor; and

Section 5. The permission granted to CNO, LLC, for the placement of the multi-level bay windows and decks described in Section 1 shall expire without any further action by the City of Philadelphia if CNO, LLC, have not entered into an Agreement with the City Solicitor and satisfied all requirements of the Agreement that are listed in Section 3 of this Ordinance within one (1) year after this Ordinance becomes law.
