The Vendor shall provide and keep in full force at the vendor’s own cost and expense, the following insurance policies for the joint benefit of said vendor and FIU, with an insurer reasonably acceptable to FIU:

  • Commercial General Liability$2,000,000 Each Occurrence (minimum) (a) Bodily Injury & Property Damage $1,000,000 (b) Products/Completed Operations $1,000,000 (c) Contractual Liability $1,000,000
  • Automobile Liability $500,000 (minimum) (owned/non-owned/leased)
  • Workers’ CompensationStatutory Limits
  • Professional Liability $1,000,000 (DESIGN PROFESSIONALS ONLY)

The certificates shall indicate that the policy carries an endorsement (no more restrictive than CG 20 10) which names The Florida International University Board of Trustees, Florida International University, the State of Florida, The Florida Board of Governors, and their respective trustees, directors, officers, employees and agents, as additional insureds. The vendor’s policy shall be primary and that any insurance carried by FIU shall be noncontributing with respect thereto.

Each policy shall provide for thirty (30) days prior written notice to FIU in the event of cancellation or reduction in coverage or amount. If the Vendor fails to secure and maintain the appropriate insurance policies, FIU may terminate any and all agreements between both parties.

The Vendor shall require all subcontractors, consultants, and sub-vendors providing services on a Project to carry any and all insurance coverage that adequately covers each subcontractor’s, consultant’s and sub-vendor’s exposure based on the type of services they are providing in connection with a Project.

In addition to the insurance required to be obtained and maintained by the Vendor, if the Vendor assigns any portion of the duties under an agreement in accordance with the terms, hereof, each vendor or assignee will purchase and maintain the same insurance coverage required hereunder.

The Vendor shall immediately notify FIU if the Vendor's Commercial General Liability insurance contains any restrictive endorsements other than those restrictive endorsements normally included on standard ISO Commercial General Liability occurrence or claims made forms.

The absence of a demand for any type of insurance certificates or policy or insurance condition, or for higher coverage limits shall not be construed as a waiver of the Vendor’s obligations to carry and maintain the appropriate types of insurances at limits that are appropriate to the liability exposure associated with any and allagreements. FIU does not represent that coverage and the limits specified herein will necessarily be adequate to cover Vendors’ liability.

Florida International University reserves the right to cancel any award made if successful vendor fails to supply and or maintain required coverage(s).

If the professional liability insurance is written on a claims-made form, it shall continue for five (5) years following the completion of the performance or the attempted performance of the provisions of the agreement between the vendor and FIU. The professional liability insurance shall have a retroactive date of placement prior to or coinciding with the effective date of the agreement between vendor and FIU. If the professional liability insurance coverage is canceled or non-renewed and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a retroactive date prior to the effective date or coinciding with the effective date of the agreement between vendor and FIU the Vendor must purchase Extended Reporting (“Tail”) coverage for a minimum of five (5) years following the completion of the performance or the attempted performance of the provisions of the agreement between vendor and FIU.
