About this file
This is an insurance requirements document for Hillsborough County, Florida, establishing mandatory coverage specifications for contractors performing services under County contracts. The document outlines comprehensive insurance requirements applicable to various types of procurements, including a specific one-time purchase of one trailed rotary mower estimated at $47,000. Insurance providers must be authorized to conduct business in Florida, maintain A.M. Best ratings of A- Class 7 or better, and be acceptable to Hillsborough County. All required coverages must be primary and non-contributory, with the exception of Professional Liability and Workers' Compensation. Contractors must provide Certificates of Insurance and proof of coverage before commencing any services, with 30 days' written notice required for cancellation or material changes to policies.
The insurance requirements vary based on contract type and scope. For purchase-only agreements where the County handles all subsequent work, no insurance is required. For the trailed rotary mower procurement, standard Commercial General Liability insurance is required with minimum limits ranging from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 per occurrence depending on contract specifications, along with Automobile Liability coverage of $300,000 to $1,000,000 combined single limit. Additional coverage may include Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability, Professional Liability, Excess/Umbrella Insurance, and specialized coverages such as Installation Floater for equipment installation. All insurance policies must include Hillsborough County as an Additional Insured, and contractors must waive subrogation rights. The County reserves the right to request complete copies of policies and endorsements for verification purposes and to periodically review and adjust insurance requirements as mutually agreed upon.
