This is an Insurance Requirement document prepared by Collier County, Florida for the Beach Maintenance and Related Activities procurement opportunity managed by the Pelican Bay Services Division. The document establishes mandatory insurance coverage requirements that proposers must maintain throughout the contract term. Contractors are required to obtain and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, as well as workers' compensation insurance in accordance with Florida statutory requirements. Additional required coverage includes pollution liability insurance, marine liability insurance, and equipment floaters appropriate to the services being performed, including debris removal, sand management, dune work, shoreline stabilization, erosion control, channel and inlet maintenance, beach renourishment, and emergency response services.

All insurance policies must be issued by insurers rated A-:VII or better by A.M. Best and authorized to do business in Florida. Certificates of insurance must be provided to the County prior to commencing work and maintained continuously throughout contract performance. The County must be named as an additional insured on all liability policies, and all policies must include provisions prohibiting cancellation or material modification without thirty days' written notice to the County. Failure to maintain required insurance coverage constitutes grounds for contract termination. These insurance requirements apply regardless of contract term or renewal options and serve to protect both the County and contractors engaged in the specialized beach and waterway maintenance services for which the County historically allocates approximately $500,000 annually.
