About this file
This is a minimum insurance requirements document for the Harris County Flood Control District related to a contract for the supply of native seeds and related items. The document outlines mandatory insurance coverage that contractors must maintain throughout the contract term at their own expense. Required coverage includes Workers Compensation with Employers' Liability limits of $1,000,000 each for accident and disease claims, Commercial General Liability with per-occurrence limits of $1,000,000 and a general aggregate of $2,000,000 per project, Automobile Liability with combined single limits of $1,000,000 per accident for all owned and hired vehicles, Umbrella/Excess Liability coverage of $1,000,000, and Professional/Errors & Omissions Liability of $1,000,000 where applicable. Harris County Flood Control District must be named as an additional insured on a primary and non-contributory basis for general liability, automobile liability, and umbrella coverage.
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, or through excess or surplus lines companies registered in Texas if standard coverage is unavailable or economically infeasible. Contractors must furnish unaltered insurance certificates as evidence of coverage and must provide equivalent documentation for any subcontractors. Policies must waive all rights of subrogation against the County and its representatives, and contractors must provide 30 days' written notice prior to any cancellation, material change, or non-renewal of policies, followed by evidence of replacement coverage within 30 days. Failure to maintain required insurance coverage may result in contract termination, and the County reserves the right to require additional insurance coverage if necessary.
