(1) The per occurrence and Aggregate limits for specified coverage should apply on a per location or per project basis.

(2) Automobile Liability Coverage is required IF an automobile is used in the execution of their contract. A vendor using a third party for shipment or transport does not require Automobile Liability Insurance.

(3) An ACORD form is NOT acceptable proof of NYS Workers Compensation (WC) or Disability Benefits (DBL) Insurance coverage. For WC, secure form C-105.2 or U-26.3. For DBL, secure form DB.120.

Workers Compensation/Employers Liability, and NYS Disability are not required of: a) a business that is owned by one individual, is not a corporation, and does not have any other employees, b) a self-employed individual, c) an out of state employer with no NYS employees. IN EACH CASE, the employer must file Form CE-200, Certificate of Attestation of Exemption, with the NYS Workers Compensation Board certifying that they are not required to obtain NYS specific Workers Compensation Insurance or NYS statutory Disability Benefits.

(3A) For vendors of commodities that have no locations or employees in the State of New York, and the commodities are going to be shipped from out of State to our location via common carrier evidence of Workers Compensation and Disability or the New York Attestation are not required. If the vendor does have locations in New York State and the particular product is manufactured or shipped from out of State, we should still get evidence of New York State Workers Compensation and Statutory Disability.

(4) A consultant is someone who gives expert or professional advice. Consultants are ordinarily hired on an independent contractor basis. Therefore, the County is not liable to others for the acts or omissions of the consultant. A consultant is an individual who possesses special knowledge or skills and provides that expertise the County for a fee. Consultants help find and implement solutions to a wide variety of problems, including those related to business, marketing, manufacturing, strategy, organization structure, environmental compliance, health and safety, technology, and communications. Some consultants are self-employed, independent contractors who offer specialized skills in a certain field; other consultants work for large consulting firms, that offer expertise in a wide range of business areas; and still other consultants hail from academia. Specialists in various professional fields that work with the general public and have greater than average expertise in particular areas, for example lawyers, doctors, pharmacists and insurance agents, require additional coverage for someone who is injured as a result of their negligent acts or omissions. Therefore, Professional Liability Insurance is required if commercially available for your profession.

SAMPLE ACORD CERTIFICATES: Sample ACORD Certificates detailing the required insurance coverage are included in each Invitation to Bid or Request for Proposal. These are provided as for informational purposes only to County Vendors and their Insurance Brokers to assist you in obtaining the correct insurance required for County contracts. Please note that the attached certificates reflect the standard types and limits of insurance the County requires most often. The requirements of each proposal may differ in which case the proposal’s specific requirements must prevail. Please review the insurance requirements of your proposal carefully with your broker.

Exceptions: The limits shown in the matrix and samples will generally be required for service providers involved in low-risk activities. Higher limits may be required for service providers performing potentially high-risk activities.

The proposal must specify the costs, in the manner hereafter described for which the items will be supplied according to the specifications, together with a unit price for each of the separate items as called for. Any proposal must be deemed informal which does not contain prices set opposite to each of the several items for which there is a quantity exhibited in the itemized proposal.

AWARD OF CONTRACT

Award of contract will be made to the lowest responsible qualified bidder whose proposal must comply with all of the provisions required to render it formal.

Upon the notification of award and approval of the bond, the deposit will be returned to the proposer. The deposit of persons other than the one to whom and award is made will be returned to the person or persons making the proposal immediately after the contract and bonds have been executed.
