This is an Insurance Request document related to a pest control services procurement for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) at Bradshaw Unit. The document outlines insurance requirements that bidders must maintain throughout the contract term. Bidders are required to obtain and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance, automobile liability insurance, and workers' compensation insurance as specified by TDCJ. The insurance must be in force before commencing work and remain active for the duration of the contract, including any renewal or extension periods. All insurance policies must name TDCJ as an additional insured and include a waiver of subrogation in favor of the state. Certificates of insurance must be provided to TDCJ prior to the commencement of services, with updated certificates submitted upon renewal or modification of policies.

The document specifies minimum coverage amounts for general liability insurance, typically ranging based on per-occurrence and aggregate limits as determined by TDCJ standards for institutional facilities. Bidders must ensure that their insurance carriers are authorized to do business in Texas and maintain an A.M. Best rating of A- or better. The requirement for workers' compensation insurance applies in accordance with Texas law, covering all employees performing work on the TDCJ facility. These insurance provisions are mandatory conditions of contract award and failure to maintain adequate coverage as specified constitutes grounds for contract termination or non-renewal.
