Where Does Insurance, Bonding and Indemnification Fit in the Contracting Process? At the inception of an
idea.
![Page 3: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Important Principles That Apply to Any State
Contract
![Page 4: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Principle #1
Contractually transfer the appropriate risks relating to the contract to the contractor.
Ask for appropriate insurance and bonds to cover the risk.
![Page 5: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Principle #2Do not indemnify an independent
contractor.The state is subject to the Oregon
Tort Claims Act (OTCA). OTCA limits state liability.
Contractors have unlimited liability.Indemnifying a contractor may
harm the state’s defense against a claim and make the state subject to unlimited liability.
![Page 6: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Principle #3• Don’t rely on insurance or
bonds to cover all of the risks associated with your contract.
• Many times outcome based statements of work, contract administration, and supervision are far better risk control measures to protect the state’s interests than insurance or bonds.
• Insurance and bonds should be thought of as the safety net that catches us when everything else goes wrong.
![Page 7: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Asking for Insurance Coverage Alone Does Not Protect Your Agency From
All the Risks of Contracting
![Page 8: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Indemnity/Hold HarmlessA method of contractually transferring
the risk.States that the contractor or service
provider will not hold us responsible for any claims arising out of their negligent acts and that the contractor will pay associated claim costs.
Provides the state with claims protection.Most effective when used in conjunction
with the appropriate insurance clauses.
![Page 9: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

How Does Insurance Work?• Insurance policies tend not to overlap with
other types of policies.• There are some perils that insurance
policies just don’t cover:• Intentional Harm or wrongdoing, other
than self-defense.• Crimes, other than defense coverage
until found guilty.• Specialty markets exist for those perils
that are too risky, too small, unpredictable, or not profitable for traditional insurance markets:• Pollution Liability• Professional Liability
![Page 11: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Common Policy Parts & Pieces
• Coverages – The Insuring Agreement.–Exclusions – What isn’t covered.
• Who is an Insured – Who is covered by the policy.• Limits of Insurance – How much the insurance
company will pay.• Policy Conditions – Restrictions, duties,
responsibilities.• Definitions – What the terms mean.

What Does “Claims Made” or “Occurrence” Mean?
Insurance policies are written on a “claims made” or “occurrence”
basis. These terms address claims reporting time periods.
![Page 13: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A Claims Made policy covers all claims reported and filed during the policy
period.
![Page 14: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
An Occurrence policy covers all claims arising out of
incidents occurring during the policy period, regardless of whether or not the policy is still in effect at the time that the claim is made.

What Does This Really Mean?
Products and completed operations coverage pays claims on behalf of the
contractor for damage or injury to third parties resulting from something the
contractor made, repaired, or installed.
The bodily injury or property damage to third parties resulting from the service
would be covered not the contractors actual product.

ImportantCGL Exclusions
1) Personal property in the care, custody
or control of the insured;
What Does This Mean?• CGL will not cover property left in
the care, custody or control of a contractor. This exposure should be covered with an Inland Marine Policy for the Goods of Bailee’s Customers.
![Page 38: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
2) That particular part of real property on
which you or any contractors or subcontractors working directly or indirectly on your behalf are
performing operations, if the "property damage“ arises out of those operations; or
ImportantCGL Exclusions
What Does This Mean?• CGL will cover property damaged by
the contractor, except for the “particular” part they are performing work to.
![Page 39: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
“Particular” Part Example
A plumbing subcontractor working on a DAS owned building accidentally starts the building on fire while soldering copper pipes, and the entire structure is burned down. If DAS sues the builder for the loss, the exclusion in question will apply only to “that particular part” of the structure on which the plumber was working.
![Page 40: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Thus, DAS would be covered (on an excess basis over any builders’ risk coverage on the work) for damage to all parts of the building other than the plumbing and all parts of the plumbing system other than the particular part being worked on at the time of the loss.
“Particular” Part Example(continued)
![Page 41: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
3) That particular part of any property that must be restored, repaired or replaced because "your work" was incorrectly performed on it.
ImportantCGL Exclusions
What Does This Mean?• CGL will not cover a contractor’s
faulty work. This exposure can be covered through a Performance Bond as long as the project has a specific time frame and specifications for the work
![Page 42: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
ImportantCGL Exclusions
Pollution(1) "Bodily injury" or "property damage"
arising out of the actual, alleged or threatened discharge, dispersal, seepage, migration, release or escape of "pollutants“.
What Does This Mean?• CGL will not cover any type of pollution,
except under very limited circumstances. If your agency needs to remediate pollution or has a pollution exposure, Pollution Liability coverage is needed.
![Page 43: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Important Exceptions to the CGL Pollution Exclusion
• "Bodily injury" if sustained within a building and caused by smoke, fumes, vapor or soot from equipment used to heat that building;
• "Bodily injury" or "property damage“ arising out of heat, smoke or fumes from a "hostile fire";

Current Case Law• Id. at 479. A tort claim, where there is a
contract between parties, may only proceed where there is some kind of obligation owned by one party to the other beyond the duties that the contract imposes.
• Id. at 477. Examples of such relationships are those between lawyers and clients, doctors and patients, or trustees and beneficiaries. The court has called these “special relationships.”
Jones v. Emerald Pacific Homes, 188 Or App 471, id at 477 & 479

Special Relationships
Only Exist When:• One party has relinquished control
over the subject matter of the relationship to the other party; and
• Has placed its potential monetary liability in the other’s hands.

Automobile Liability
Insurance that provides coverage for third party bodily injury or property damage arising out of the use of an insured vehicle.
![Page 48: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
When Do you Need Automobile Insurance
Coverage?
When the contractor needs to use an automobile to provide the services.
![Page 49: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Commercial Automobile Coverage vs. Personal Automobile Coverage?
• Commercial Automobile Coverage is needed whenever the contractor will be transporting the state’s employees, clients, etc. or the state’s property.
• Use of Personal Automobile coverage instead of Commercial or Business Automobile coverage may be appropriate for sole proprietors. Note: The sole proprietor must either carry a Business Use Endorsement or insure that business use is covered under their personal auto policy.
• Personal Automobile coverage will not name the state as an Additional Insured.
![Page 50: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Automobile Liability CoverageConsiderations
• Ask questions, such as, but not limited to: – Will the Contractor transport groups of
people for the state?– Use vehicles or carry cargo that could
make an accident severe?– Have multiple vehicles on the road at
any given time?– Travel out-of-state to do contract work?– Bring heavy equipment or trucks onto
your property?
![Page 51: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Automobile Liability CoverageConsiderations
– Will driving be only a small part of the contractual activities?
– Is there little or no chance that the state could be held responsible for the Contractor's actions while driving?
![Page 52: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• Use whenever a Contractor transports mobile equipment to the work site: – CGL insurance does not cover the transport of

Goods in TransitTypes of Carriers:• Common carriers are airlines, railroads,
or trucking companies that furnish transportation to any member of the public seeking their services.
• Contract carriers do not hold themselves out to the general public but rather furnish transportation for certain shippers for which they have contracts.
• Private carriers haul their own goods or goods entrusted to them.
![Page 76: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Goods in TransitCommon Carriers
• Are regulated by the Interstate Commerce Commission or a state public utilities commission and are liable to shippers for the safe delivery of freight entrusted to them.
• The amount of liability to the common carrier may be limited by the bill of lading, which is the contract between the shipper and carrier.
![Page 77: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Goods in TransitCommon Carrier - Bill of
Lading• A straight bill of lading fixes no limit on
the amount of recovery.• A released bill of lading does limit
recovery to a specified amount.– Generally low and usually are quoted as
dollar amounts per pound or parcel.• The shipper generally has the option to pay
an “insurance charge” and declare a value for the shipment thereby increasing the limit of the carrier’s liability and obtaining broader coverage.
![Page 78: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Goods in TransitContract Carrier
• The liability of contract carriers is defined by the contract between the carrier and the shipper.
• If contracts are initiated by the carrier, they often release the carrier from substantial responsibility except in the case of extreme negligence.
![Page 79: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Goods in TransitPrivate Carriers

![Page 80: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
• F.O.B means “free on board” and indicates the point at which ownership and exposure to loss shift from the seller to the buyer. For example:– F.O.B. shippers loading dock means that
the transit exposure would be the buyer’s once the goods are on the shipper’s loading dock.
– F.O.B. destination means that the transit exposure would be the seller’s until the goods reach the buyer’s destination.

Why Require Insurance and Bonds?
You can contractually make the provider of the good or service responsible for their negligence.
However, if the contractor does not have a way to pay for these losses, then the contract alone will not protect the state. Insurance and bonds are ways to backup contract indemnity statements.

What Are The Typical Kinds of Bonds Used in
Contracts?

Bid Bond
Provides financial assurance that the bid is submitted in good faith and that the contractor intends to enter into the contract at the bid price and if stated in the bid, provide the required performance and payment bonds.
![Page 108: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Performance Bond
Protects the state from financial loss should the contractor fail to
perform the contract in accordance with contract terms
and conditions.
![Page 109: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Payment Bond(Labor & Materials
Bond)Guarantees that the contractor will pay certain subcontractors, laborers
and material suppliers associated with the project.
![Page 110: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
Maintenance Bond
Protects the state against defects in workmanship or materials
(usually for two years) after the contractor has completed the work.
![Page 111: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Additional Bond Information
Bond terms are usually 12 – 24 months.
The bond amount requested depends on the risk of the contract.
In most cases, bonds cost about 1% - 3% of the contract amount.

Traditional Contract Risk Assessment
• What is the activity?• Who could be harmed?• What could go wrong?• How bad could it be?• How much could it cost?• Assignment of insurance amounts
based on the Risk Rating.

E = Extreme Risk:• First, consider not doing
the activity.• If you must, you will need
to decide how much a potential loss could cost?
• In general, risks at this level warrant more than $1 million in coverage.
![Page 117: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
H = High Risk:• Could a potential loss cost in
excess of $1 million? If so, ask for more coverage.
• Make sure your assessment considers all costs of potential losses.
• Risk Management would not recommend limits of less than $1 million for High rated risks.
![Page 118: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
M = Moderate Risk:
• Standard limit of insurance is $1 million.
• Assessment should consider all costs of potential losses.
• If assessment reveals potential loss in excess of $1 million, your risk may actually be high (see H for High Risk.)
![Page 119: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
L = Low Risk:• If risk is minimal, this is the area where
coverage and limits may potentially be flexible.
• Standard limit is still $1 million.• In the case of minimal risks, the agency
could make a business decision to lower the limits of coverage.
• Risk Management would not generally recommend insurance limits of less than $500,000.
• If the risk assessment reveals only minute risk, agency could make a business decision to waive coverage.

Coverage Assessment
• Analyze the perils covered by the type of insurance you will be requiring.
• Looking at the perils, and analyze if these perils exist in the performance of the contracted work.

What Does SIR Mean?Stands for Self-Insured Retention.Works like a deductible. If you see this on a Certificate of
Insurance, it means the contractor will perform all the functions normally undertaken by an insurance company for claims within the SIR.
Any losses must exceed the SIR amount before the insurance company will handle the claim.
![Page 131: The Nuts and Bolts of Insurance Ronda Hollis, CPCU Risk Management Consultant 3/10/05 DAS Risk Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b70103/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)

perform.

Bonding Related Questions to Ask
• How much will it cost to find another contractor e.g. RFP, staff time, etc. and complete the project if this contractor does not complete?
• If the contractor does not complete the project within the specified timeframe, how much will it cost the Lottery and/or vendors?
• If the product is completed, but not as specified, how much could it cost the Lottery if another vendor has to fix the machines?
