This is an Insurance Requirements document for the City of Meriden, Connecticut, outlining mandatory coverage and documentation standards for contractors and vendors engaged in the Website Redesign project (RFP027-06). The contractor must maintain General Liability coverage with limits of $1,000,000/$2,000,000/$2,000,000, Auto Liability coverage at $1,000,000 combined single limit, and Workers' Compensation coverage at statutory limits with Employers' Liability coverage of $1,000,000 per accident, disease per employee, and disease policy limit. All policies must be issued by carriers approved in Connecticut with a minimum AM Best's rating of "A-"VIII. The City of Meriden must be named as an Additional Insured on a primary and non-contributory basis for all policies except Workers' Compensation, and all policies must include a Waiver of Subrogation. Original, completed Certificates of Insurance must be submitted to the City of Meriden prior to contract issuance, with replacement or renewal certificates provided at least 30 days before policy expiration dates.

If any policy is written on a "Claims Made" basis, the contractor must maintain continuous renewal for a minimum of two years following the project completion date, or if a policy is replaced and the retroactive date is changed, the expiring policy must be endorsed to extend the reporting period for claims. The contractor must provide 30 days' written notice to the City of Meriden if any policy is cancelled, limits are reduced, or coverage is altered. These insurance requirements apply to the contractor's work on the website redesign project, which seeks to enhance user experience, simplify content management, decentralize departmental content creation, and ensure ADA compliance.
