About this file
This is a Minimum Insurance Requirements attachment for a state and local contract opportunity with Harris County, Texas for Employee Background Screening Services for Harris Health. The document establishes mandatory insurance coverage that the contractor must maintain throughout the contract term at the contractor's sole expense. The requirements include Workers Compensation as mandated by Texas law with Employers' Liability limits of $1,000,000 per accident, disease, and policy limit; Commercial General Liability with per-occurrence limits of $1,000,000, personal and advertising injury limits of $1,000,000, products/completed operations limits of $1,000,000, and general aggregate limits 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 $1,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate; and Professional/Errors & Omissions Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate if applicable.

All insurance must be provided by companies licensed by the Texas Department of Insurance with an A.M. Best rating of at least A-VII, unless coverage is unavailable or economically infeasible through standard carriers, in which case excess or surplus lines companies registered in Texas are acceptable. The contractor must furnish unaltered insurance certificates as evidence of coverage and must provide equivalent insurance coverage for any subcontractors. Policies must waive all subrogation rights against Harris County and its representatives. The contractor must provide written notice to Harris County at least 30 days prior to any policy cancellation, material change, or non-renewal and must provide suitable replacement policies within 30 days. Failure to maintain required insurance coverage may result in contract termination. The insurance requirements do not establish limits of contractor liability.
