This is an insurance requirements document for the Mechanical and HVAC Contracting Service bid opportunity with Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) in New York. The document outlines mandatory insurance coverage that bidders must obtain and maintain throughout the contract term. Bidders are required to secure comprehensive general liability insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and employer's liability coverage. The insurance requirements specify minimum coverage limits and naming requirements, with HVCC and the State of New York to be named as additional insureds on applicable policies. All insurance policies must be issued by carriers authorized to conduct business in New York and rated A- VII or better by A.M. Best. Certificates of insurance must be submitted prior to commencing work, and policies must remain in force for the duration of the contract term plus any applicable renewal periods.

The document requires that all insurance be maintained without interruption and that bidders provide evidence of continuous coverage throughout performance. Policies must include waiver of subrogation clauses and 30-day cancellation notice provisions to protect HVCC's interests. Failure to maintain required insurance constitutes a material breach of contract. No deductibles or self-insured retentions may be imposed on the coverage provided to HVCC or the State of New York. These insurance requirements are non-negotiable conditions of contract award and must be satisfied before any work commences under the mechanical and HVAC contracting service agreement.
