CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE

Respondent’s Insurance Requirements: The respondent will procure and maintain, at its own expense, for the duration of the Contract the following minimum levels of insurance:

The respondent will continuously maintain insurance or other security for adequate protection for all work from liability and will protect the County for damages, liability or loss arising in connection with the contract. The respondent will ensure coverage for damages, liability or loss arising in connection with the contract and services:

State of New Jersey.

All insurance required herein will be maintained in full force and effect during the term of the successful Respondent’s Contract with the County and will constitute primary coverage over any other applicable insurance.

The County may from time to time dependent on the “scope” of services require coverage, limits and conditions unique to the type of work, scope and size of the contract. Approval and terms will be reviewed/proposed by the County Risk Manager and the Administration.

The successful Respondent will furnish a Certificate or Certificates of Insurance in compliance with these requirements and upon request a certified copy of each policy to the County, including the provisions establishing premiums. All insurance policies required hereunder will include an endorsement naming the County and its officers, agents, engineer, attorney, employees, and servants as additional insured’s, which insurance will provide primary and non-contributory insurance coverage to the County of Sussex, its departments, agencies, boards, commissions, officers, agents, servants, administrators and employees.

In addition, the additional insurance will include but not be limited to coverage for the additional insured for bodily or personal injury, property damage or other loss for which the respondent’s insurance policy provides coverage for the respondent’s work and for coverage which is included in the respondent’s “products-completed operations hazard” coverage. An endorsement will be provided that the policies will not be changed or canceled prior to thirty (30) days after written notice has been provided by the insurance carrier directly to the County.

During the term of its Contract with the County, the successful Respondent will be obligated to renew each and every insurance policy which may expire and provide updated renewal insurance certificates.

In cases where a required insurance policy is cancelled or terminated during its term, the successful Respondent will immediately procure insurance to replace such policy(ies) and will immediately provide all insurance information required by the County as proof that the cancelled or terminated policy has been restored or replaced. In the event the successful Respondent fails or refuses to renew its insurance policies, or the coverage is canceled, terminated, or modified so that the insurance does not meet the requirements of the successful Respondent’s Contract with the County, such failure shall constitute default of the successful Respondent’s Contract with the County. Insurance coverage having policy limits in the amounts required by the County will not be construed to relieve the Respondent from liability in excess of such coverage, nor will it preclude the County from taking such other actions as are available to it under the provisions of this Contract or otherwise in the law.
