Let’s review the information and discuss the next steps with your broker.
General liability insurance policy
Coverage terms · Limits
For injury or property damage arising from your work under the contract.
Often the agency, its officials, employees and volunteers, in the words the contract uses.
Auto liability for vehicles used on the contract, and workers’ comp as your state requires it.
For consulting, design, engineering or technology contracts, cover for claims that your work caused a loss.
The contract or solicitation number and a short description of the work.
Extends your liability policy to the agency and the people it names, for claims arising from your work. Some agencies ask for a copy of the endorsement along with the certificate.
Your insurer agrees not to pursue the agency to recover what it pays on a claim. It has to be endorsed on each policy the contract lists.
Your policy responds before the agency’s own coverage or self-insurance, without asking it to share. Your Spot team gets it endorsed through your broker and insurer.
Choose each policy the specifications name from your Spot workspace.
Use the agency name and the address in the certificate instructions, which may differ from the office you work with.
Attach the insurance specifications, and add the contract number and description of work.
Check the additional insured wording, limits and dates against the specifications, then download the certificate or send it to the contracting office.
Many agencies want their officials, employees and volunteers covered too. A certificate that names only the agency can be sent back.
Performance and payment bonds aren’t insurance and don’t appear on a liability certificate. The surety issues the bond itself.
Send certificates where the contract says, often a risk management or contracts office, not the program team you work with.
