The Whitfield County Board of Commissioners requires a certificate of insurance for all individuals or companies providing services to the Public Works Department, therefore we require your company turn in with your bid a certificate of insurance for your carrier.

Requirements of Insurance Coverage:

1. Automobile liability (covering owned, hired and non-owned vehicles) Bodily Injury (each person) $100,000.00 Bodily Injury (each accident) $300,000.00 Property Damage $100,000.00

General Liability (same limits as automobile)

This is the minimum coverage we will accept; however, this coverage does not properly protect you. We strongly suggest that you acquire coverage of $500,000.00 combined single limits.
