Text: In Omaha P.P. Dist., the agreement to provide insurance stated in pertinent part: The Contractor [Natkin] shall take out and maintain during the life of this Contract, such Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance as shall protect him and any subcontractor performing work covered by this Contract, and the District [Omaha P.P. Dist. (OPPD)] from claims for damages for personal injury, including wrongful death, as well as claims for property damages, which may arise from operations under this Contract, whether such operations be by himself or by any subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by either of them. Id. at 520, 227 N.W.2d at 866. This court held that [d]efinitely the contract does not contain express language to the effect that Natkin would furnish insurance to cover OPPD's negligence. Id. at 523, 227 N.W.2d at 868. As in Omaha P.P. Dist., we determine that the contract in the instant case does not contain express language to the effect that Bunch would furnish insurance to cover harm caused by Nashua's own negligence.
