The contractor must maintain comprehensive insurance including Commercial General Liability with a $2 million general aggregate limit, $1 million automobile liability, $1 million professional liability, $1 million umbrella/excess liability, and Workers' Compensation coverage, with Tioga County named as an additional insured on applicable policies.

The contractor is required to indemnify Tioga County against claims arising from the contractor's negligence or errors. Liquidated damages for timeline delays will not be pursued; the County expects good faith effort toward timely completion. The County will issue a Notice of Award within 45 days after bid opening and reserves the right to reject any or all bids.
