About this file

This document details the Minimum Insurance Requirements for a contract with Harris County, Texas, specifying comprehensive insurance coverage that a contractor must maintain throughout the contract term. The requirements outline five distinct insurance categories: Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Umbrella/Excess Liability, and Professional/Errors & Omissions Liability. For each category, specific coverage limits are established, with most individual coverage limits set at $1,000,000, and the Commercial General Liability's General Aggregate set at $2,000,000 per project.

The document mandates that insurance be provided by companies licensed to do business in Texas, with an A.M. Best rating of at least A-VII. Harris County must be named as an Additional Insured on a primary/non-contributory basis for several liability types. The contractor is required to furnish evidence of insurance through unaltered certificates and must provide insurance for subcontractors as well. The policy includes provisions for notification of cancellation or material changes, with a 30-day advance notice requirement. Notably, the document explicitly states that these insurance requirements do not establish limits of contractor liability and was revised in August 2017.
