About this file
The document is an Insurance Requirements document for contractors to the City of Palo Alto, California, dated August 27, 2019. The requirements outline comprehensive insurance coverage specifications that contractors must obtain and maintain for the duration of their contract with the city. Contractors are required to secure insurance from companies with an AM Best's Key Rating of A-:VII or higher, licensed to conduct insurance business in California. The insurance must include Workers' Compensation, Employer's Liability, General Liability, Automobile Liability, and optional Professional Liability coverage.
The insurance requirements specify minimum coverage limits for each type of insurance, with most liability categories requiring $1,000,000 per occurrence and in aggregate. Notably, the City of Palo Alto must be named as an additional insured, and the insurance must include a contractual liability endorsement. Contractors are required to submit insurance certificates to purchasingsupport@cityofpaloalto.org and provide written notice (30 days for non-premium cancellations, 10 days for non-payment cancellations) if their policy is to be canceled. The award of any contract is contingent upon compliance with these detailed insurance requirements.
