(6)
notify the governmental entity in writing by certified mail or personal
delivery, within 10 days after the person knew or should have known, of any
change that materially affects the provision of coverage of any person
providing services on the project; and
(7)
contractually require each person with whom it contracts, to perform as
required by paragraphs (1) ~ (7), with the certificates of coverage to be
provided to the person for whom they are providing services.
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.
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.
