About this file
This document outlines the minimum insurance requirements for contractors engaged in the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Transit Signal Priority Project in Somerville. The Contractor must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage throughout the contract term, including Commercial General Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 annual aggregate, written on an occurrence basis. Additionally, contractors must carry Automobile Liability Insurance with combined single limits of at least $1,000,000 for all owned, leased, hired, and non-owned vehicles. All insurance policies must be placed with carriers licensed by the Massachusetts Division of Insurance and holding a Best's rating of A- or better. The MBTA must be named as an additional insured on all policies, provided with certificates of insurance at contract inception and throughout the contract term, and given 30 days advance written notice of any policy cancellations.
Contractors must also maintain Workers' Compensation Insurance compliant with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 152, including Employers Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury by accident, $1,000,000 per employee for bodily injury by disease, and $1,000,000 aggregate policy limit for bodily injury by disease. All insurance requirements apply equally to subcontractors performing work under the contract. A critical requirement specific to work within 50 feet of rail is the policy endorsement deleting any exclusion for such work. Workers' Compensation policies must include a waiver of subrogation rights against the MBTA. All required insurance must be taken out before contract commencement and maintained in full force throughout the contract term on a primary and non-contributory basis to any MBTA insurance.
