Professional and scientific services providers are required to

maintain

three insurance policies during the life of the contract:

This requirement does not apply to alternative delivery agreements, such as design-build and comprehensive development agreements, which have specific insurance obligations set forth within each contract.

A completed Form 1560-CS Certificate of Insurance is the only approved proof of insurance. The provider must have a current Form 1560-CS Certificate of Insurance on file with Contract Services before the contract is executed. Subcontractors are not required to maintain separate insurance.

A new certificate must be submitted each time a provider’s insurance policies are changed or renewed during the contract period. The insurance policies must remain current during the entire period.

Contract Services monitors certificates of insurance and will notify the managing district or division of any lapses in coverage. The managing district or division is responsible for ensuring that providers cease work during a lapse in coverage or proof of coverage until Contract Services receives a current Form 1560-CS Certificate of Insurance.

Providers of non-professional or non-scientific services, such as those contracted through a purchase order, use Form 1950 Certificate of Insurance for Services. Low-bid construction or maintenance contractors use Form 1560-RFC Certificate of Insurance, and routine facilities contractors use Form 1560-RFC Certificate of Insurance - Routine Facilities Contract. Form 1950, 1560, and 1560-RFC are managed and maintained by the Office of Record for the relevant contract.
