This is an Insurance Request document prepared by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) for pest control services at Kyle Unit. The document outlines insurance requirements that bidders must maintain throughout the contract period. Bidders are required to obtain and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance with minimum coverage limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. Additionally, bidders must carry workers' compensation insurance as required by Texas law and maintain property damage coverage. All insurance policies must be issued by insurers authorized to do business in Texas and rated A- or better by A.M. Best. The TDCJ must be named as an additional insured on all liability policies, and certificates of insurance must be provided prior to commencing work.

The insurance requirements specify that coverage must remain in effect for the duration of the contract term and any renewal periods. Bidders must provide proof of insurance within a specified timeframe before work begins, and policies cannot be cancelled or materially altered without thirty days' written notice to TDCJ. The document establishes that failure to maintain required insurance coverage constitutes grounds for contract termination. These insurance provisions are standard protective measures designed to mitigate risk and ensure contractor accountability during the delivery of pest control services at the correctional facility.
