CASUALTY INSURANCE

 

 

CONTRACTORS AND VENDORS

 

The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board shall require all contractors and vendors doing business with the Board to maintain adequate insurance coverage.  Such coverage shall include workers' compensation and third party liability coverage.  The contractor or vendor may not appear at the facility either to unload materials or to begin work until a valid insurance certificate has been provided to their school system representative and the Office of Risk Management.  If the contractor or vendor cannot provide these coverages, another contractor or vendor shall be secured.  It is the responsibility of the supervisor or principal and the Divisional Director to ensure compliance with this provision.  There shall be no exceptions without the prior, written consent of the Superintendent of Schools for East Baton Rouge Parish.

 

  1. The individual issuing the contract is the last party to sign the contract.  No contract shall be countersigned unless a valid insurance certificate has been provided. 

  2. Once a valid insurance certificate has been received, the individual signing the contract shall make sure the certificate is valid and meets the limits prescribed in the specifications and/or contract agreement.
