About this file
This is an Insurance Specifications document issued by the School Board of Pinellas County, Florida, establishing mandatory insurance coverage requirements for contractors awarded contracts with the district. Contractors must obtain all required insurance coverage within ten (10) working days of contract award and submit certificates of insurance to the School Board's Risk Management Department prior to commencing work. The School Board of Pinellas County must be named as both "Additional Insured" and "Certificate Holder" on all policies unless expressly prohibited by the insurance company. The district requires 10 days' notice of cancellation and 30 days' notice for non-renewal on all policies. Insurance companies must maintain a Best's Financial Strength Rating of "A-V" or better, and the company name on the certificate must match exactly as it appears in Best's ratings.
The insurance requirements vary based on contract value and include three primary coverage types. General Liability Insurance requires $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate for projects under $500,000, and $1,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 general aggregate for projects of $500,000 or greater. Automotive Liability Insurance must provide $300,000 Combined Single Limit or $100,000/$300,000/$100,000 limits. Workers' Compensation Insurance must meet statutory requirements with Employer's Liability limits of $100,000 per accident, $500,000 disease policy limit, and $100,000 disease per employee. All deductibles remain the contractor's sole responsibility, and the contractor must ensure subcontractors maintain equivalent coverage. Independent Contractors' Protective coverage and Broad Contractual Liability provisions are required components of the General Liability policy.

INSURANCE SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONTRACTORS
(present this information to your insurance agent)
The contractor shall obtain, within ten (10) working days of the award by the School Board, all of the insurance coverage’s required in the project specifications.

The School Board of Pinellas County shall be listed both as an "Additional Insured" and “Certificate Holder” on all insurance policies obtained by the contractor as the result of being awarded a contract;
unless expressly prohibited by the insurance company. A written explanation of that insurance company's position will be attached to the Certificate of Insurance filed with the School Board of Pinellas County's Risk Management Department. Any requirement by the contractor's insurance company that an additional premium shall be required for the issuance of a Certificate of Insurance with the School Board of Pinellas County as an "Additional Insured” shall not excuse any failure to obtain the required insurance certificate.

The contractor shall provide the ISO Commercial General Liability Policy. The Owner shall be exempt from, and in no way liable for, any sums of money which may represent a deductible in any insurance policy. The payment of such deductible shall be the responsibility solely of the contractor or subcontractor providing such insurance.
The Commercial General Liability Policy (CGL) is a method of automatically providing a broad range of common coverage extensions to the CGL policy that firms often need and overlook. By having a CGL policy, it will reduce the overall cost of providing those other coverage’s at a future date and allows for a wide distribution of those packaged coverage’s.
The CGL policy shall provide coverage of at least the following items:
a) General Aggregate:
i) Premises Operation which will include XCU coverage except when work does not include foundation, structural work, pressure fired vessels or materials or construction techniques which could explode.
ii) Independent Contractor's Protective which provides coverage for injury to others arising out of the independent contractors work. General Contractors may opt to provide this coverage in lieu of naming the School Board of Pinellas County as “Additional Insured”.
iii) Broad Contractual Liability which is liability assumed by the insured under ay contract agreement. This includes any oral or written contract or agreement relating to the conduct of the named insured’s business. If excluded, exception for liability is assumed in an insured contract.
