DATE APPROVED: February 12, 2008 |
| SUBJECT: Guidelines for Bid/RFP Minimum Insurance Requirements |
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: Risk Management |
It is necessary that the County protect itself against liabilities which can occur through contracts into which it enters. The County can be expected to be named in almost any legal action involving work conducted on behalf of the County in connection with the contract, the premises, and performance of work, the work, the products provided, or the services to be provided by a contractor/vendor, their agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. The County is self insured and must pay claims and legal expenses with taxpayer money, as such; the County’s minimum insurance requirements are directed toward minimizing this exposure.
