About this file
This document outlines the MBTA Minimum Insurance Requirements for RFP# 105F-21 Shuttle Bus Services, a Massachusetts state transit authority procurement. The MBTA is establishing a pool of qualified operators to provide turnkey replacement shuttle bus services, including vehicles, drivers, and supervision, for planned and emergency subway, commuter rail, and bus service disruptions across the state. The two-year contract is estimated at approximately $120 million, with work to be distributed among multiple awarded vendors across various shuttle service projects throughout the contract term.
The insurance requirements mandate that contractors maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance with limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and annual aggregate; Automobile Liability Insurance covering all vehicles with combined single limits of $1,000,000; Workers' Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per accident and aggregate; and Umbrella Liability Insurance with limits of $5,000,000 per occurrence and annual aggregate. All insurance policies must be placed with Massachusetts-authorized carriers holding a Best's rating of A- or better, be written on an occurrence basis rather than claims-made basis, include the MBTA as an additional insured, and be maintained in full force throughout the contract term with 30 days advance written notice required for any cancellation. Coverage must include deletion of exclusions for work within 50 feet of rail, full coverage of acts of terrorism, and waiver of subrogation rights in favor of the MBTA. Subcontractors must provide equivalent insurance coverage for their operations, and certificates of insurance must be provided at contract inception and maintained throughout the term.
