This is an insurance requirements document for the City of Santa Monica Fire Department's procurement of testing, maintenance, inspections, and repair services for Scott self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and oxygen compressor equipment. The document establishes mandatory insurance coverage requirements that prospective contractors must maintain throughout the contract term. Contractors are required to obtain and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance, automobile liability insurance, and workers' compensation insurance meeting specified minimum coverage limits. The insurance requirements apply to all services related to SCBA equipment maintenance, testing, and compressor servicing that the selected contractor will provide to the Fire Department.

All required insurance policies must name the City of Santa Monica as an additional insured and provide for waiver of subrogation in favor of the City. Contractors must provide certificates of insurance prior to commencing work and maintain continuous coverage throughout the contract period. The insurance requirements ensure protection for the City and establish standards for contractor financial responsibility and risk management related to the specialized nature of breathing apparatus maintenance and oxygen compressor servicing work. These requirements are standard protective measures for public safety equipment servicing contracts where equipment failure could impact firefighter safety operations.
