5-COI Guide for Contractors.pdf

This is a Certificate of Insurance (COI) Guide document applicable to the City of West Jordan, Utah's Wheels Park Vert Ramp Surround Area and Concrete Pad Construction Design-Build project. The guide serves as an instructional template for contractors to properly document their insurance coverage requirements. Key elements that contractors must address include ensuring the insured name matches the contract, verifying that the project timeline falls within the policy period with provisions for policy renewals during project execution, listing the certificate holder as an additional insured for both ongoing and completed operations, and documenting project-specific details such as dates and scope. The guide requires contractors to provide general liability policy limits, workers' compensation information, and broker contact details, with signature authorization from the broker.

The COI guide emphasizes that Additional Insured and Waiver of Subrogation Endorsements must be evidenced on the certificate to protect the City's interests. All policy information must be verified through AM Best ratings to ensure the insurance companies providing coverage are legitimate and solvent. The certificate holder information must precisely match the contract requirements, and all sections addressing policy limits and coverage types must be completed comprehensively. This documentation is essential for demonstrating contractor compliance with the City's insurance requirements prior to commencing work on the design-build project.
