About this file

The document is a Contractor Requirement Checklist from the Village of Lexington, Michigan, detailing comprehensive requirements for contractors bidding on municipal projects. The checklist outlines mandatory compliance standards across six key areas: insurance, safety, equipment, qualifications, utility liability, and work initiation payment protocols. Contractors must provide current certificates of insurance with a minimum $1,000,000 liability, demonstrate employee safety training, ensure equipment readiness, submit state business licenses, and provide detailed company and subcontractor information. The document is specifically related to a 2025 tree planting project, with bid submissions required by November 12, 2025.

The checklist establishes stringent vendor prerequisites, including requirements that contractors provide proof of workers' compensation insurance, vehicle liability coverage, and documentation confirming additional insured status for the Village of Lexington. Financial and procedural controls are emphasized, with no work permitted to commence until all documentation is verified by the Village Department Manager and service contracts are signed and filed with the Village Clerk. Contractors are held directly liable for any utility damages during project performance, and payment is contingent upon meeting all specified requirements and receiving authorization from the Department of Administration (DOA).
