Information about Purchasing and Materials Services guidelines and requirements.

Insurance Requirements

In instances where vendors, contractors and consultants, or their representatives, will be working on District-owned property, the District requires that a certificate of insurance, with coverage at the minimum limits required by the District, be on file with the District.  Separate endorsements, naming the District as Additional Insured, and including primary wording, are required for General Liability and Automobile Insurance.  In addition, Workers’ Compensation Insurance that meets the minimum State requirements must also be provided with a Waiver of Subrogation.
