Questions and Answers

The Department has received the following questions through the Business Network, and the Department’s answers are provided in the table listed below:

No. Question Answer

1. With the Open Cargo policy - our underwriters are asking for more info:

Who does the cargo belong to?

Refer to ITB Attachment A, Scope of Work, section 3. Definitions for Open Cargo.

2. With the Open Cargo policy - our underwriters are asking for more info:

Is it cargo that is shipped once and that’s it or is it an ongoing operation? For example, there is a clock on one of the docs – that seems like it would be a “one and done” trip, not something that they are just hauling a clock around on a boat once a month…?

Refer to Addendum 1 to the ITB, Attachment A, Scope of Work, section 4.5 Open Cargo Coverage, attached hereto.

3. With the Open Cargo policy - our underwriters are asking for more info:

If it (sic) these items are one trip only, are the items listed in the information from past trips that have already concluded or are they still in need of cargo insurance? If they are done, is there a current list of items that need to be scheduled?

See answer to question #2.

4. A detailed narrative of operations- how they do/what they do with each vessel. The SOV lists the vessels but not what their intended use is

Refer to ITB Attachment C, Price Sheet for vessel use (research, patrol, workboat).

5. Locations for storage of Boats for each entity and dates they are layed (sic) up (like if they only are used seasonally)

The Department does not have this information.

6. Navigation requirements for the boats for each entity, they are listed on the SOV but we need to verify they have not changed.

Refer to ITB Attachment C, Price Sheet.

7. Explanation of personnel capacity- some of these seem to be quite high – i.e. 50, 44, 25, 19, 24 etc. We just have to explain to the underwriter who is included in “personnel” so they don’t question personnel vs passengers.

Refer to Addendum 1 to the ITB, Attachment A, Scope of Work, section 3. Definitions, attached hereto.

8. Are those considered “Personnel” covered elsewhere by the State or does the Great American Policy include them for an additional charge under the P&I or Maritime Employers Liability?

Refer to ITB Attachment A, Scope of Work, section 3. Definitions for Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Insurance.

Additionally, refer to ITB Attachment A, Scope of Work, section 4.4. and Attachment L, Expiring Ocean Marine Hull policy.

9. Current Named Storm Deductibles. The SOV only has a single deductible listed for the hull and usually florida (sic) policies have a separate named storm deductible.

Refer to ITB Attachment L, Expiring Ocean Marine Hull policy.

10. Inspection contacts for each vessel (or if there is one POC for each state entity we can list that).

The Department does not have this information.
