17-Workers Compensation Insurance Requirements.pdf

This is a Workers Compensation Insurance Requirements document applicable to Harris County and the Harris County Flood Control District for the Landfill Services contract to accept Type IV, Non-Putrescible, Non-Compacted Solid Waste and Recycling Materials. The document establishes mandatory insurance coverage requirements that all bidders and contractors must maintain throughout contract performance. Contractors are required to obtain and maintain workers compensation insurance in compliance with Texas law, covering all employees engaged in the performance of contract work. The insurance must be continuous throughout the contract term and any renewal periods, with coverage limits meeting or exceeding statutory requirements established by the State of Texas. Proof of workers compensation insurance must be provided prior to contract award and maintained as a condition of contract performance.

The document specifies that workers compensation insurance is a non-waivable requirement for all contractors regardless of contract value or employee count, reflecting Texas statutory obligations. Contractors must provide certificates of insurance or equivalent documentation demonstrating active coverage. Failure to maintain required workers compensation insurance constitutes grounds for contract termination and may result in bid rejection. The insurance requirement applies to all subcontractors and vendors engaged in contract work, with the prime contractor maintaining responsibility for ensuring compliance throughout the supply chain.
