The document is a Construction Services Insurance Rider for a large project ($5M+) issued by the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, detailing comprehensive insurance requirements for contractors. The insurance rider specifies mandatory coverage types including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Umbrella/Excess Liability, Environmental Liability, Builders Risk Insurance, and Construction Professional Liability, with specific minimum coverage limits ranging from $100,000 to $5,000,000 depending on the insurance type.
