INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACTORS
Bidder's attention is directed to the insurance requirements below. It is highly recommended that
bidders confer with their respective insurance carriers or brokers to determine in advance of Bid
submission the availability of insurance certificates and endorsements as prescribed and provided
herein. If an apparent low bidder fails to comply strictly with the insurance requirements, that
bidder may be disqualifiedfrom award of the contract. Upon bid award, all insurance
requirements shall become contractual obligations, which the successful bidder shall have a duty to
maintain throughout the course of this contract.

provide and maintain until the contracted work has been completed and accepted by the City of
Denton, Owner, the minimum insurance coverage as indicated hereinafter.
As soon as practicable after notification of bid award, Contractor shall file with the Purchasing
Department satisfactory certificates of insurance, containing the bid number and title of the
project. Contractor may, upon written request to the Purchasing Department, ask for clarification
of any insurance requirements at any time; however, Contractors are strongly advised to make
such requests prior to bid opening, since the insurance requirements may not be modified or
waived after bid opening unless a written exception has been submitted with the bid. Contractor

related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses.

occurrences arising during the contract term which give rise to claims made after
expiration of the contract shall be covered.
. Should any of the required insurance be provided under a form of coverage that
includes a general annual aggregate limit providing for claims investigation or legal
defense costs to be included in the general annual aggregate limit, the Contractor shall
either double the occurrence limits or obtain Owners and Contractors Protective

coverage has been extended.
E. The contractor shall obtain from each person providing servIces on a project, and

governmental entity will have on file certificates of coverage showing coverage
for all persons providing services on the project; and

(5) retain all required certificates of coverage on file for the duration of the project
and for one year thereafter;
(6) notify the governmental entity in writing by certified mail or personal delivery,

by paragraphs (1) - (7), with the certificates of coverage to be provided to the
person for whom they are providing services.
J. By signing this contract or providing or causing to be provided a certificate of coverage,
the contractor is representing to the governmental entity that all employees of the
contractor who will provide services on the project will be covered by workers'
compensation coverage for the duration of the project, that the coverage will be based
on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts, and that all coverage
agreements will be filed with the appropriate insurance carrier or, in the case of a self-
insured, with the commission's Division of Self-Insurance Regulation. Providing false
or misleading information may subject the contractor to administrative penalties,
criminal penalties, civil penalties, or other civil actions.
K. The contractor's failure to comply with any of these provisions is a breach of contract
by the contractor which entitles the governmental entity to declare the contract void if
the contractor does not remedy the breach within ten days after receipt of notice of
breach from the governmental entity.

With respect to anyone or more "certified acts of terrorism" under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of
2002, Insurors Indemnity Company will not pay any amounts for which we are not responsible under the
terms of the Act (including subsequent action of Congress pursuant to the Act) due to the application of
