About this file
This is an insurance requirements document for the Town of Palm Beach, Florida, establishing mandatory coverage standards for service providers engaged in standard contracts and minor construction projects. Service providers must furnish proof of insurance coverage at least 30 business days prior to commencing work, with all policies issued by companies authorized to conduct business in Florida. The Town reserves the right to require additional coverages and limits based on the specific nature of services provided, and service providers must notify the Town within 24 hours of any policy cancellation, non-renewal, or modification. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting for the related Emergency Food Services RFP will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams, with attendance strongly encouraged as the only forum for direct clarification from project management and Town staff. The contract award will be made to the proposer offering best value to the Town, with an initial one-year term and four one-year renewal options available.
Required insurance coverages include Comprehensive General Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, issued on an occurrence basis with the Town endorsed as additional insured; Business Auto Liability coverage with $1,000,000 combined single limits for all owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, or $300,000 for personally owned vehicles; Workers' Compensation coverage at statutory Florida limits with a waiver of subrogation; and Employers Liability coverage with minimum limits of $100,000 per accident and $500,000 disease policy limit. All policies must provide waivers of subrogation and rights of recovery against the Town and maintain primary, non-contributory coverage. Umbrella or Excess Liability coverage is required if General Liability limits do not meet minimum requirements. The Town may withhold payment pending receipt of additional security to cover claims exceeding policy limits, and all insurers waive recourse against the Town for payment or assessments.
