About this file
The document is a Contractor & Vendor Guidelines manual for IC 111 Building Company LLC, located at 111 East Wacker Drive in Chicago, Illinois. This comprehensive guidelines document outlines detailed requirements, procedures, and expectations for contractors, vendors, and tenants working within the building, covering everything from construction and renovation protocols to safety, insurance, and operational standards. The guidelines address multiple aspects of project management, including construction document submission, permit requirements, demolition procedures, architectural specifications, and specific trade-related rules for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and other technical work.
The manual includes specific insurance requirements mandating that all contractors and subcontractors maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability (minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence), automobile insurance ($1,000,000 combined single limit), umbrella liability coverage ($5,000,000), and workers' compensation insurance. Contractors must provide certificates of insurance with specific rating and coverage specifications, and all policies must be written with companies having an AM Best's rating of A-VIII or better. The guidelines emphasize strict compliance, noting that failure to meet these requirements will result in a breach of contract and prevention from starting work, with the tenant and general contractor responsible for coordinating all insurance certificates prior to project mobilization.
