INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACTS

Risk Management Division 2nd Edition Effective – May 9, 2016 - 32 -

Section D - SERVICE AGREEMENTS

Standard Contracts

"Standard service" contracts do not present any unique exposures to the State and are not considered "professional services" by insurance definitions. Therefore, the States standard insurance requirements that follow would be appropriate to use in most general service contracts.

Depending on the nature of the services being provided, it may be necessary to require certain supplemental insurance coverage in addition to the States standard insurance requirements in order to address specific risks. Some of the more unique services that may require supplemental insurance coverage have been addressed in this manual separately. Please refer to the Table of Contents in this manual for a list of specific service contracts that do require special insurance language. This may include such activities as ticket vendors, elevator maintenance services, equipment purchase and installation, vehicle maintenance and repair, etc.

In addition, certain contracted services may or may not involve the use of vehicles in order to perform the scope of services. Automobile liability should only be required if the contract involves

1) the contractor's use of a vehicle as part of the services being provided, or 2) if the contractor is operating a State vehicle as part of the services being provided. This does not include merely driving to and from the State on occasion, i.e. for meetings. See Introduction Section D, “Guide to Automobile Liability Exemption” for detailed guidelines. Examples of such services which would require automobile liability insurance include delivery services, transportation of persons or property, vehicles used to carry contractor equipment to a State service site, etc. The insurance requirements in this section assume the contractor does use vehicle(s) in the delivery of services under the contract and therefore includes the requirement for automobile liability insurance.

If the contracted services do not present any unique risks and are not professional in nature, use the following standard insurance requirements. If you are uncertain if a contract presents unique exposures that may require additional insurance coverage, contact the Risk Management Division for assistance in modifying the standard insurance specifications.
