922600-03 Attachment B - State of Iowa - COI Example.pdf

This is a Certificate of Insurance Requirement Example document provided by the State of Iowa Department of Natural Resources for use in state and local contract solicitations. The document serves as a template for contractors bidding on Iowa DNR projects, including the Corrigan Barn Roof Replacement at Yellow River State Park in Allamakee County. The example specifies insurance coverage requirements that contractors must maintain throughout project execution, with the document displaying a sample firm name and address along with coverage amounts of $500,000 listed across multiple categories, totaling $2,000,000 in aggregate coverage. The template is formatted to be adapted for individual projects by inserting the specific project number and details as needed for each solicitation.

The certificate of insurance example demonstrates the standard protective requirements the State of Iowa mandates for contractors undertaking capital improvement projects. The document indicates mandatory insurance thresholds that bidders must commit to maintaining, which serves as a risk mitigation measure for the state agency overseeing project execution. This template format allows the Iowa DNR to consistently apply insurance requirements across multiple projects while maintaining flexibility to adjust coverage amounts and categories based on specific project scope and risk profiles. Contractors responding to Iowa DNR solicitations must ensure their insurance carriers can provide certificates meeting these specified requirements prior to contract award and project commencement.
