3-COI Guide for Contractors.pdf

This Certificate of Insurance (COI) Guide is a reference document for contractors working with the City of West Jordan, Utah on the Carnival Services contract for the Western Stampede event. The guide outlines the essential components and requirements that contractors must include when submitting insurance certificates to demonstrate adequate coverage for the project. Key elements include verification that the insured name matches the contract, confirmation that coverage is active during the project period with provisions for policy renewals, listing of additional coverages, and documentation of additional insured status with waiver of subrogation endorsements for both ongoing and completed operations. The certificate must identify the certificate holder matching the contract terms, clearly display general liability policy limits, include workers' compensation policy information, and contain proper signatures and broker contact information.

The guide serves as a compliance tool to ensure contractors meet the City of West Jordan's insurance requirements prior to contract award and project commencement for the Fourth of July Western Stampede carnival services. Contractors must verify through AM Best that their insurance companies are reputable and that all required endorsements are properly documented. The certificate holder designation must correspond exactly to contract documentation, and if any insurance policies renew during the project period, updated certificates must be submitted for verification. This guide is essential for qualified amusement companies responding to the City's proposal request to demonstrate they maintain adequate insurance protection for large-scale carnival operations and family entertainment services.
