About this file
This is a Minimum Insurance Requirements document for Harris County, Texas, establishing mandatory coverage standards for contractors engaged in waste management services. The document specifies comprehensive insurance requirements that contractors must maintain throughout the contract term at their own expense, including Workers Compensation with Employers' Liability limits of $1,000,000 per accident and per disease, Commercial General Liability with per-occurrence limits of $1,000,000 and aggregate limits of $2,000,000, Automobile Liability with combined single limits of $1,000,000 per accident, Umbrella/Excess Liability of $1,000,000, and Professional/Errors & Omissions Liability of $1,000,000 where applicable. Harris County must be named as an Additional Insured on a primary/non-contributory basis for all liability coverages. All insurance must be provided by companies licensed to do business in Texas with an A.M. Best rating of at least A-VII, or through registered excess or surplus lines carriers if standard coverage is unavailable or economically infeasible.
Contractors are required to furnish evidence of insurance in the form of unaltered certificates and must provide notification at least 30 days prior to any policy cancellation, material change, or non-renewal, with replacement coverage required within 30 days thereafter. If any portion of the contract is sublet, subcontractors must provide equivalent insurance coverage and furnish evidence to Harris County. All required insurance policies must waive subrogation rights against the County and its officers and employees. The County reserves the right to require additional insurance coverage if deemed necessary, and failure to maintain required coverage may result in contract termination. The insurance requirements do not establish limits of contractor liability, and upon request, certified copies of original insurance policies must be provided to the County.
