Required insurance includes statutory workers compensation, commercial general liability of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million general aggregate, automobile liability of $1 million combined single limit, and $2 million umbrella liability.

Pricing must be submitted as unit prices on the bid cost submittal form and held without modification for economic fluctuations throughout the contract duration.
