About this file

This is an Insurance Requirements document issued by the City of Palo Alto, California, establishing mandatory insurance coverage standards for contractors performing structural fumigation services at the Palo Alto Art Center. The selected contractor must obtain and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage throughout the contract term, with all policies issued by companies holding an AM Best's Key Rating of A-:VII or higher and authorized to conduct business in California. Required coverage includes Worker's Compensation at statutory limits, Employer's Liability at statutory limits, General Liability with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate (covering bodily injury, property damage, contractual liability, and fire legal liability), Automobile Liability with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per person per occurrence and $1,000,000 property damage, and Professional Liability/Errors and Omissions with $1,000,000 all damages coverage. The City of Palo Alto must be named as an additional insured on all policies except Workers' Compensation, Employer's Liability, and Professional Liability coverage.

All insurance policies must include a contractual liability endorsement covering the contractor's indemnification obligations to the City. Certificates of insurance evidencing the required coverage must be submitted to purchasingsupport@cityofpaloalto.org prior to contract award. Insurance endorsements must provide primary coverage for claims arising from the contractor's operations, include cross-liability provisions ensuring that naming multiple insureds does not increase the insurer's total liability, and contain cancellation notice requirements of thirty days for cancellations other than non-payment of premium and ten days for non-payment situations. Award of the contract is contingent upon full compliance with these insurance requirements, which the contractor must maintain at its sole expense throughout the entire contract period.
