About this file
This is a Minimum Insurance Requirements document for a contract with Harris Health System in Texas. The document establishes mandatory insurance coverage that contractors must maintain throughout the contract term at their own expense. The required coverages include Workers Compensation with Employers' Liability limits of $1,000,000 each for accidents and disease per employee, Commercial General Liability with per occurrence limits of $1,000,000 and a general aggregate of $2,000,000 per project, Automobile Liability with combined single limits of $1,000,000 per accident for all owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, Umbrella/Excess Liability with limits of $1,000,000, and Professional/Errors & Omissions Liability of $1,000,000 if applicable to the work. Harris Health System must be named as an Additional Insured on a primary/non-contributory basis for all applicable policies.
All insurance coverage must be issued by companies licensed by the Texas Department of Insurance with a minimum A.M. Best rating of A-VII, unless excess or surplus lines coverage is necessary and unavailable through standard carriers. Contractors are required to provide unaltered insurance certificates as evidence of coverage and must furnish the same documentation for any subcontractors whose work is sublet. All insurance policies must waive subrogation rights against the County, its officers, employees, and agents. Contractors must provide written notice at least 30 days prior to any policy cancellation, material change, or non-renewal and must provide evidence of replacement coverage within 30 days. Failure to maintain required insurance coverage may result in contract termination, and the County reserves the right to require additional insurance coverage if deemed necessary for project-specific exposures.
