The document is an Excess Liability Questionnaire for Collin County, Texas, soliciting proposals for excess liability insurance coverage. The county is seeking a three-year contract with options to extend for two additional one-year periods, commencing upon award and final execution. The insurance coverage is specifically requested for multiple areas including commercial crime, professional liability, public officials errors & omissions, employment practices, employee benefits administration, law enforcement liability, and pollution. The county is interested in receiving proposals for excess liability coverage with various self-insured retention (SIR) options: $3,000,000 coverage with SIRs of $1,000,000 or $2,000,000, and $5,000,000 coverage with SIRs of $1,000,000 or $2,000,000.

The questionnaire requires vendors to provide detailed responses about their insurance capabilities, including reporting mechanisms, premium change protocols, claims processing, policy basis (occurrence or claims-made), defense cost coverage, and administrative requirements. Vendors must specify if they offer discounts for upfront premium payments, potential penalties for annual payment plans, and their willingness to meet specific county requirements such as providing 120-day non-renewal notices, issuing certificates within 24 hours, and allowing the county to choose counsel. The document emphasizes that responses will be considered part of the contractual responsibilities, and incomplete or inadequately explained answers may result in disqualification.
